Misconception: He’s weak

Reality: Far from it. The man’s been through a lot, emotionally especially.

Ex: During a heated argument with America, he’s able to close the door on him. It’s hinted that Canada may have super strength, but he dismisses this.

Ex: He’s more than capable of standing up from himself if necessary. Even a pushover has their limits.

Admittedly, he does excuse a lot of Cuba’s hostile behaviour towards him. It’s only because Cuba mistakes him as America, though.

Ex: Canada’s emotional insecurity can easily be seen as a strength. It takes a lot out of a person to remain so generous and friendly, despite being historically ignored and neglected by those close to you.

Misconception: He and America hate each other.

Reality: While they may have had some extremely rough times together, they’ve done more than enough to make up for this.

Covering the progress of their relationship in more detail will require a whole series of posts, but these are the basics.

Despite growing up together, they argued a lot following America’s independence. Britain acted as the most prominent wedge between them. For some time before, they also couldn’t see eye-to-eye due to profound age differences.

Canada held resentment towards America for being selfish, reckless, and too imposing.

Ex: America actually pushed for Canada to gain his independence. This didn’t occur until quite a while later, obviously.

Ex: When Canada does get his independence, they reconcile for the better…after having another argument of course. Siblings will be siblings.

Although, as you’ll see soon, they still argue over the same things. Canada’s main tooth to pick with America is his egotism and boisterousness.

Ex: America knows little about Canada’s pop culture, meanwhile Canada knows everything about his.

Nonetheless, the two are still extremely close…

Ex: America helps Canada figure out his identity. Canada’s multiculturalism [in the strips only, of course] is inspired by America’s own diversity of cultures and ethnicities.

As such, Canada suddenly finds South Korea and China staying at his place. The East Coast of Canada, especially Vancouver, is where many East Asians immigrate to.

Ex: America is jealous of Canada’s natural ability to get along with everyone.

Ex: The two co-host an online cooking show together. Yes, it’s called “America’s Cooking Channel, but Canada is on there enough times to deserve the title of a co-host.

Misconception: France is his father.

Reality: France temporarily acted as a big brother figure to Canada before England took hold of his jurisdiction. As such, this would explain why Canada inherited France’s hair. It’s mere influence. They’re not blood-related.

We’ve already see with Hong Kong how one nation’s influence can impact the physical/ personality traits of another.

Ex: England’s influence on Hong Kong’s personality. England also cursed Hong Kong to have thick eyebrows like him.

Ex: Seychelles was originally supposed to have one thick eyebrow and one thin one to represent French and English influences on her nation’s culture.

Misconception: Canada’s invisible for no reason.

Reality: There’s a real historical reason for this. Being a dominion, Canada was often overshadowed by Britain.

For instance, in WW1, other than the occasional Canadian Red Ensign flag – which also had a Union Jack on it – Canadian troops fought under the Union Jack. In return, Britain absorbed much of the credit for the feats accomplished by Canadian soldiers.

Ex: America thinks that Canada hides in Britain’s shadow. He holds back from saying this out loud.

Later, Canada’s shown to recognize this on his own. 

Ex: Canada wanted to sign a treaty with America, however he was too scared to talk to America directly. He was worried that America wouldn’t be able to see him.

Bonus Facts:

He cried when Seychelles remembered him as being part of the G8.

He served in the French army at Waterloo.

Maple syrup is his fuel.

He smoked marijuana.

He once yelled at America for three hours straight, pointing out his faults. America cried afterwards. Predictably, this was quickly fixed with a burger.

He aged at a much slower rate than America.

Daily Hetalia Fact #8

America tries to listen to Canada and help him when he can.

(Also the French and the English still fight even when both are technically Canadian.)

Meanwhile, in AmeLiet

Lithuania, in his head: Alfred isn't a religious man...It's a little strange to see him praying like this.

America, mumbling: Oh, dear Lord, please don't make me parallel park.

~Paris, June 1940~

Meanwhile, in AmeLiet

America: I have some bad news.

Lithuania: What is it?

America: I have a headache.

Lithuania: ...And?

America: And WebMD says it's brain cancer.

Lithuania: [sighs]
