- The Indigenous peoples of the northern Canadian Arctic are officially known as the Inuit, a term meaning “the people”. The singular form, Inuk, translates as “the person”. Historically, these groups were referred to as “Eskimos,” but this term is now considered outdated and inappropriate because of its colonial origins and inaccurate connotations.
- Canadians tend to avoid the company of very argumentative or opinionated people. Therefore, if you seem too combative or express yourself too intensely, they may consider you a controversial character and be less enticed to keep your company.
- Ice hockey is widely considered Canada’s premier national sport, often referred to simply as “hockey.” Many Canadians take great pride in their local and national teams, and the sport plays a significant role in Canadian culture and identity.
