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.
before I was a Hetalia blog I actually had a Harry Potter blog. I figure hey, why not take my in depth Harry Potter knowledge and apply it to Hetalia. So here is my sorting of The Baltic Trio+Poland (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia)
Poland- Ravenclaw: Now I thought about this one long and hard. I was shifting between Slytherin or Ravenclaw. But all and all I think Poland is a better fit for Ravenclaw. Poland always just sort of does his own thing. He wears what he wants and says what he wants. He really has no concern if someone is thinking poorly of him because he just doesn’t care. A Slytherin would care very much about the opinion of others but a Ravenclaw, now way! I think Poland would fit very well in Ravenclaw.
Lithuania- Hufflepuff: Now I can see him in all the houses to be completely honest with you, all except Ravenclaw, I don’t think he’d mesh well here. But all and all I placed him in Hufflepuff because during the soviet era he was always trying his best to keep the other soviets out of trouble with Russia. Then when he went to live with America he was happy to help out any way he could. Hufflepuffs are helpful and considerate, even when it’s not expected of them. They always think of others first. I did think about putting him in Gryffindor for a tiny second. But then I realized Hufflepuff is where he would be most comfortable.
Latvia- Ravenclaw: Yes the easy cop put would be Hufflepuff because he’s soft spoken but that’s not really what this sorting thing his about. Yes Latvia is afraid to speak his mind but nothing else about him would land him in Hufflepuff. He’s described as a hidden genius and at the same time he slacks off. This is so Ravenclaw. He’s also said to like reading poetry and romance novels. So we know he has a love for the arts. I think he’s very Ravenclaw.
Estonia- Slytherin: I wanted to put him in Ravenclaw but really I don’t think that’s entirely where he should go. Yes he’s said to be the smartest of the Baltic trio. But, he said that. That’s the kicker. See a Ravenclaw doesn’t go around telling you how smart they are, because they don’t care enough to brag about it. But a Slytherin would. He also says that he’s the luckiest of the three and manages to be in the right place at the right time to avoid Russia’s frustrations. Slytherins are very good at avoiding trouble. He’s also said to be very good with money. Another Slytherin trait. He’s very confidant in his knowledge and seems to give off the air that he’s the smartest person in the room, or at least thinks he is. This is what makes him a Slytherin.
The Allies, The Soviet Siblings, Nordics, Extras 1, The Axis,
What exactly is France’s sexuality?
I don’t want to give any labels, not to mention that it’s not explicitly stated in canon. This character note is helpful in giving you a general idea, though.
“He’ll go for men and women of all ages, and even non-humans, as long as they’re beautiful.”
He also seems to have a preference for “macho men”, and makes a lot of references to “touching pecs.”

There was another ask concerning this, but I accidentally deleted it ;u;
Matthew was six during the divorce, so it was pretty recent. Be strong, Anon.
Room 612 was cursed it had to be Arthur could think of no other explanation why his superior’s office with the best intentions manage to become steadily dreadful every time he step foot init. It was untidy, stacks of papers took the place of where people should, majority of the floor space, on his boss’s chair, the neon green chesterfield sofa, which was a blessing because it was most uncomfortable. Tea cups and new paper clippings had conquered the mahogany desk. Each wall donned various hideous post modern paintings that pulse or spun endlessly making even casual on lookers dizzy.
Arthur was marveling at the newest addition of wall to wall windows behind Mr. Hutchinson’s work space. Someone clearly thought that it was too hard to see at the dirty mismanaged brick back of the local muggle halfway house with the previous two uneven windows that inhabited a year earlier. When Mr. Abdul large heavy set man dress in blue robes busted in. A assortment of enchanted colored files trailing behind while permission slips and formal requests buzzes about like a swarming files being sign and initial by a bewitched quill he parted the the chaos with his free hand to better see his subordinate . “Ah! Mr. Kirkland! Your here already? I thought we wouldn’t be seeing you for at least another day or two. How was your trip?” “Chilly and wet It’s been ages since I’ve traveled this far by broom I forgot how cold flying can be and how brutal English winters are. ” Mr. Abdul eyed Arthur’s wardrobe a ratty decade out of fashion dark blue green robe litter with moth holes matched of with a proper witch’s hat in the same condition. “Well of course good grief man where’s your coat?” “I don’t have one I chucked mine years ago didn’t have much use for it. Thankfully I’d saved this or I would of freeze in my thobe.” “Ah well you better invest in a proper one it’s cold in New York.” “New York? I thought you wanted to see me about the Manzar case because I just would like to say Monhobi was compromised and we where given bad intelligence by those blokes in foreign affairs-” Abdul put up a hand to stop him. “I know Thomas’s report made crystal clear. All in all we where quite impress on how you where able to handle that disaster. So impressed that we think you would be a splendid fit for your new assignment in New York.” “What is it?” “How much British news are you able to get in Aub Dubai?” The change in subject threw Arthur “Not much I can’t spare my owls to spending a day or more having it fly all the way to England and back just for the paper.” “I figured as much well long story short the Magical Congress has a right mess on their hands by this fellow here” Mr. Abdul snatched a red file from the parade behind him and presented it’s contents.
Arthur gaped at the head shot, He knew the man in the photograph he hadn’t changed much from their last encounter. Same short blonde haircut, square glasses, near prefect teeth the only real difference was that he had traded the reminding of his baby fat for laugh lines. They where highlighted as the photo looped his smile. Arthur fumed internally at the fact that he was still handsome. Abdul began explaining “This is Alfred Jones, age 28, Muggle born, leader of both Wizarding Awareness and the Magic Rights movement. Two campaigns that are hell bent on exposing our world to Muggles and integrate the two. For years Mr. Jones has been a manageable nuisance but over the last few months he’s tripled his number in supporters. Over half of them wizards and witches themselves. Public displays of witchcraft are becoming rampant. Frighten ignorant Muggles are terrorizing the magic population. Muggles are occupying once wizard only spaces upsetting the locals It’s gotten to a tipping point, that the Magical Congress has ask the Ministry for assistance.” “So your outsourcing me to the yanks to help with damage control.” “Yes but your task isn’t damage control its to nip it at its source we want you to complete a full sweep on Mr.Jones.” Arthur was puzzled “A sweep sir? This man clearly needs to be locked up you need a Auror not a Obliviator .” “Would love to but we can’t Mr. Jones hasn’t actually broken any laws.” “What? But you just said that-” “Mr. Jones isn’t the one doing any magic, his supporters are. Can’t really he had his wand destroyed some time in his teens. All he does is talk, protest, march, and raise awareness of the magical community.” “That still breeches the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.” “True but the secrecy is a international law and we know how difficult that is to enforce. Americans have freedom of speech as a fundamental right and it would greatly harm national relations of our two countries at the mere hint of censorship. Not to mention that there’s a heated debate within Congress about if Mr. Jones can be even be classified as a citizen of the wizarding sovereign which has open the a flood gates about magical citizenship. Mr. Jones is such a high profile case now that if we to act unjustly it very likely he’ll become a martyr for the cause enraging and strengthening his base.” Arthur felt slightly overwhelmed himself and he wasn’t even part of the congress “That is quite the mess.” “But! he is a threat if not the threat of exposure to the wizarding world and dealing with such threats is a Obliviator job, your job. So get some rest buy a cozy coat and arrive at this address by Thursday morning. All the details you need are in here.” He handed over the red file to him "Make us proud Kirkland!“ And Arthur was promptly shooed out of his office. ——-Author Note——-
