BACON! Marianas Trench! Hockey!! GO JETS GO!!! and...Maple syrup!!!
A meaningful post about Canada?!?! Where do I begin! Personally, I LOVE my country. This is a beautiful place to live and I wouldn't leave it for anything. Currently, I'm outside on my patio enjoying the birds, frogs, and the sunshine.
What an AWESOME place to live!
Thanks for the giveaway, Evie! (And please pick me!)
Maple flavoured everything!
When I think of Canada I think of hockey and maple syrup! lol But no seriously, I think of my best friend that moved there last year!
Thank you for the awesome giveaway!
Raffi comes to mind. My kids love him.

A Canadian friend called Jamie that lives in Spain :D
I love Canada (since I live here). First thing I think of is obviously hockey!
Thanks for participating in this year's hop!
trees, and a lots of green.
I would to go one day to Canada :)
wow! this giveaway is international : D
Poutine for sure! Nice people, and amazing cities. I love being Canadian. Thanks for the chance to win this Evie! I am pretty excited to read it.
When I think of Canada I think of my friend who's from Canada. She always gets so defensive when someone says something about Canada, and it's become a running joke in my group of friends. Every time we hear Canada we always have to single her out. It's pretty great.
RED! Wow, that is stupid :3
I always think about there amazing Rock Bands.
Ooh maple leaf!
I think of Niagra, of cooler temperatures, of the French language, my pal Giselle at XspressoReads and of Anne of Green Gables! Oh how I loved those movies when I was a teen. (I know they are books too, but the movies are what I watched over and over again.)
When I think of Canada, I think of castles - I saw this interesting show about some of the french castles up there! :)
I posted a link to this on my blog today - hope you can stop by: http://authorjess.blogspot.com/2012/06/trip-around-thursday-not-much.html
I think Ganong and About (a boot)
Thanks for the giveaway! I think about the Dear Canada historical fiction series, because I loved the American version and really, really want to get my hands on those books...
I think: Home, Hockey, Free Health Care, Tim Hortons, Loonies, Toonies, and a whole bunch of stereotypical stuff :)
Hockey, Maple Syrup, Beaver, Free Health Care, and Winter.
Canada means to me wonderful scenery and friendly people
Maple syrup! Just love it! :D
Maple Syrup and Scenery!
Mountains and hockey :)
Toronto Maple Leafs! Maple Syrup!
PS thanks for being a part of the hop Evie! :)
I always think about the time Conan O'Brian did a week of shows in Canada. He did a segment were he was a Canadian Mountie at the US Canada border. It always makes me chuckle.
Maple Syrup!
when I hear Canda, I think of autumn and mapple trees..;0
When I think Canada I think the Mounties, snow, the great outdoors, and sexy hockey players. :D
One day I will go to Canada. Great scenery, safety going anywhere. One day...
Niagara Falls! :)
Thank you for the international giveaway and Happy Canada Day!
This will sound funny, but first thing I think about is Canadian flag.. :)
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
Definitely maple leaves! ;) And mounties, which I of course picture as super hot. ;)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :D
I think of one of my favourite tv shows Being Erica, of hockey and maple syrup :).
Thanks for making this giveaway international.
I'll just write everything that comes to my mind as it comes on my mind ;)
Quebec, then that they talk French, Just For Laughs Gags, my cousin that leaves in Canada (I'd love to visit her some time), snow, Robin from HIMYM, etc :) Yrah, I don't know about Canada, but I am really far away ;)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!
That they share one of the coolest world wonders in the world with the USA, Niagara Falls. :D
This is so cliche but when I think of the word Canada the first thing that pops into my head is "EH?" :P
The first thing that comes into my mind is the beautiful Canadian lakes, cities and the maple syrup :DD I've never been to Canada, but it's my biggest dream to visit one day!
I've only been to Niagra Falls in Canada, but I think of maple syrup, those mountie guys on horses and universal healthcare (which I think rocks). Lol! Yes, I'm random.
Thanks for offering a great giveaway!
Happy Canada Day!

When i think of Canada I think of home. I think of a country that started Hockey. Of on the truly appreciates its people and its land. Where people are welcome, and where people are more friendly.
That's home to me.
HOME!! Followed by a maple leaf.
True North, strong and free.
SUPERNATURAL! MAPLE LEAF! MONTREAL! HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER'S ROBIN!
What comes to mind when I think of Canada? Home. Beauty. Scenery. Amazing indie music. Poutine. The CN Tower. Niagara Falls. The parliament buildings in Ottawa.
Happy Canada Day weekend, and thanks for the awesome giveaway. Hooray for Torontonian authors! :-)
Thanks for the giveaway! I've never been to Canada, but I think of hockey, snow, big open spaces and moose. :)
When I think of Canada, I think of Niagra Falls and all my friends I've met through blogging and books, and all the (Canadian) authors that brought us there in the first place.
Thanks for participating in the blog hop and for hosting this particular giveaway. I'd love the chance to win this.
Happy Reading,

Honestly, the first thing I think of when I think of Canada is that Blame Canada song from the South Park movie. I know, I know. But it's catchy and it gets stuck in my head :)

Immigration! Canada is such a diverse country, and we have so many different cultures to experience here!! I'm first generation Canadian, and I'm just thankful my parents ended up here!

I think of Winter, moose & my nephew who lives there now.
It's Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne... Carly Rae Jepsen... And Justin Bieber.. hahahha... xD
Thank's for the giveaway... ^^

When I think of Canada I think of hockey (go Habs!) and poutine. I love Canada from Whistler to Toronto to St Johns, its an awesome place to live.
Canada Day! I had a friend, Melissa, who was Canadian and I just remember her running around all day on July 1st with a huge maple leaf flag on her back :)
when i hear canada the first thing it makes me think of is mounties and moose : ) and of course maple leaves and syrup...
I think about snow, smoked salmon, and maple leaves.
When I think of Canada I think of the vacations that my family took there when I was young. Especially the two trips I took to Toronto. I loved the Toronto Zoo.

When I think of Canada it puts me in mind of these HUGE chocolate eggs I used to get at Easter when I lived in Montreal.

I think about Niagara Falls because I was there recently.
Thanks so much Evie for taking part in this years Canada Day Blog Hop!
Hope you and your family had an amazing weekend!
I think of it as home. I think of all of its beauty.
I'm not Canadian, but a New Yorker. I think of beauty, trees, hockey, maple syrup, and cold.
Hmm I must admit Books, beaver tails and moose track ice cream (obviously food :P) and our forever awesome CANADIAN BLOGGERS :D lol!
I think about all the beautiful scenery in BC. I've been to many places there and Alberta as well. Canada is awesome!
I'd have to be honest and say hockey and maple leaves. Although I am a huge maple syrup fanatic, so I feel much love for Canada for being associated with it. And it seems like a beautiful place to visit, on my bucket list for sure!
The underground cities :)
Thank you for the giveaway!

When I think of Canada I think friendship, camaraderie, peace and freedome :D
First thing that comes to mind is the Maple leaf on the flag and then snow and scenery!!
Hi, thank u for this awesome giveaway and making it international.
First thing in mind when I was thinking about Canada is Celine Dion *big grin* She was born in Quebec, isn't she? She's my favorite singer ever.
Canadian's Author and the slowly postage :(

hell!! I forgot POUTINE!! POUTINE MY LOVE!!! <3
This is an awesome giveaway! Thanks! When i think of Canada i think of maple leaves and Canadian bacon. Also that i don't think i've ever been there because i don't have a passport and would be sad if i was trapped there. Do people in Canada just call it Bacon?
Maple syrup! Yummy!!
Honestly Justin Bieber(LOL) an I don't even like him :D
Ice Hockey, Robin from How I Met Your Mother, confusion with Americans. Yes, I believe I need a trip to Canada to sort getting a better list!
Bacon!...and Beiber :/

I've never been to Canada but when someone mentions CANADA to me, the first thing that comes in mind is when my friend's mother studied there :D
I wonder if everyone can see Russia from their houses in Canada.
JK. I think about those forest guys in the red suits, hockey and Degrassi
--Markella
I would love to win this! I have been waiting for the sequel to This Dark Endeavor FOREVER!!! :)
As to Canada, I love travelling and I do it a couple of times of year, but when I'm away it's like I'm waiting to exhale til I come home. No matter where I am and how cool the place is somewhere inside me is always waiting to come home to Canada. It's the dumbest thing but when I see that Tim Hortons ad on the luggage pick up that says Welcome Home only then do I feel ok and breathe again.

My favorite friends were Canadian while I was living in Korea. Nicest people alive!
Wow. Okay well when I think of my country, I think we are the luckiest people on the planet. I feel so safe here and I'm so proud to call it home. As much as I may want to move to another country when I'm older, another part of me is shaking my head and saying "Why would you want to leave?" As Karana said above, as weird as this sounds, the Tim Hortons in the airports are something that will always make me feel like I'm home!

I think of maple syrup and hockey.

My pal live in Canada
