A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

For me it's Corner Gas. I still think it's pretty funny and there's a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn't be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.

I have only seen a bit of the animated version in waiting rooms.

Definitely all the stuff people already mentioned, but have to mention Workin’ Moms since nobody else has.

Great show, very underrated.

Not a show, but the first thing that came to mind when I read the question is that Canadian ad... the Log Driver's Waltz.

I just started rewatching This Is Wonderland on Tubi.

Other than that, mostly ones that have already been mentioned plenty, but I'll call out Due South and Murdoch Mysteries as big ones.

Another vote for Kids in the Hall, the sharpest humour I recall from all of TV-era..

National Film Board stuff, that is one of the deepest treasure-wells we've got, in Canada..

I had a girlfriend who worked in the Vancouver film and TV industry (mostly as just a low level P.A. But eventually getting some Accounting work on tv series, etc...)

So when I think of Canadian TV I automatically think of the CW DC shows (Arrow, Flash, etc...) as well as a crazy amount of mid-budget sci-fi (Andromeda, Continuum, etc...). most of which was all filmed in Vancouver sharing the same pool of Canadian "that guy" actors.
