Canada has three official languages and one of them is “goose” — just kidding. Their official languages are French and English, but Canadian geese have their own language.
Scientists believe that geese have as many as 13 different animal calls that are distinctly their own, everything from greetings and warnings to happiness.
Santa Claus is Canadian
Canada's Minister of Immigration declared that Santa Claus was a Canadian citizen. He also argued that this is why his signature look is a red and white suit – the colors of Canada.
For those who want to, they can send letters to Santa, using this address: Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada.
Prepared For UFO's
Canada is the first country ever to build a landing pad specifically for UFOs. It's located in Alberta and was opened back in 1967. Canada's Minister of National Defence at the time was also there to see the unveiling.
The platform weighs in at an impressive amount of 130 tons, and the concrete structure also contains a time capsule, only to be opened in 2067.
Manitoba is Snake Territory
Although most people would think that Australia is the snake capital of the world, the province of Manitoba actually has the largest concentration of snakes in the world.
Around 70,000 snakes came out of hibernation in the Prairie province this year. The most popular breed is the red-sided garter snake.
Canadian Weather Phenomenon
Calgary is famous for its Chinooks – this weather phenomenon that can raise the temperature by 10 degrees in a matter of minutes. A strong chinook wind can make snow one foot deep nearly vanish in one day. The snow partly melts and partly sublimates in the dry wind.
Chinook winds have been seen to raise winter temperature, usually from below −4°F to as high as 50–68°F for a few hours or days, then temperatures plummet to their base levels.
