I mean, sure, it’s not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).
And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not “Canada-aware” for most of my life.
I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.
Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.
I shall visit soon and I hope you can take the chance to teach me more in the meanwhile.
To be clear, I didn’t say ‘publicly available’, I said ‘stock publicity footage’. It gets distributed to various industry connections, footage that might go into movie trailers, footage that might be used for ‘behind the scenes’ footage on the DVD. No worries about the “come across as a classic “my uncle works at Nintendo” kind of comment.” Classic or not, my daughter actually DID work as a truck costumer on that movie. I believe she is credited in the IMDB for that movie.
