Canada

Canada là một quốc gia ở Nam và Bắc Mỹ. Mười một và ba, một trong những thứ khác nhau. Trẻ em là quốc gia

Male
Canada is often seen in a plaid button-up and either black pants or jeans. He wears a fur hat with a striped tail coming off the back of it, iconic of the fur-trade era early in his founding. His outfit reflects the lumberjack stereotype of Canadians (although, it is true that we wear a lot of plaids).

European countries usually consider Canada as one more country in Europe. Mainly, because Canada is the country that shares a culture, history, politics, economy, and society very similar to those of the European continent. Australia and New Zealand are also often seen in this way in Europe, especially in Eurovision, but not as much as Canada.

His body type is thin, and he's seen as very weak. Some portrayals make him chubby, but this is rare.

Female
Female Canada is often seen with a green jacket, a red plaid button-up, and jeans just like her male counterpart.

Although, this version of Canada can be quite rare to find.

Personality
Canada is pretty shy and timid. Even though he’s friends with almost everyone, he prefers to stick beside his brother. He doesn’t like talking much, and sometimes doesn’t talk to anyone but America for so long that the other countries forget he exists. But that’s the way he likes it. Even if the things he’s done barely compare to other things the countries around him have done, he’s still very ashamed and guilt-ridden. Canada just wants to live in his log cabin in the woods, without anyone bothering him. When he gets depressed or stressed, he’ll go to Jamaica’s house and spend time there, smoking weed. Although it started as just something to calm him down, it’s become an addiction.

But, there are some things about him that aren’t as innocent. Since Canada is so close to America he sees the worst in his brother, and even if Canada has a very little obvious ego, he still has a complex that he’s the best sibling. Sometimes it gets the best of him and he does a 180, suddenly wanting to be the center of attention (but this is rare). Then of course, despite feeling sorry about it, he mistreats the First Nations for practically fun. This more psychopathic side of him only comes out if he’s drunk/high or really emotionally stressed.

''Note: British Canada and Nouvelle-France (New France) are like alters for Canada. Depending on the situation, they manifest in him (flag changes). ''

Flag Meaning
Canada's flag is two red vertical lines with an 11-pointed (red) maple leaf in the middle. It comes from the national plant (maple tree), national identity, to separate Canada from being a colony. The two red bars is said to symbolize the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on either side of Canada. (Although this may not be correct.)

Likes

 * His brother (USA) protecting him.
 * Weed (addiction).
 * Ukraine (depends on the person).
 * Maple syrup.
 * Hokey.

Dislikes
Canada does not dislike very much things, as he is quite a happy and innocent person. However, these things are exceptions:
 * His enemies.
 * Bringing up his past

Before colonization
Before colonization, Canada was not Canada. He was a large group of First Nation/Native American tribes, not really a country. In 1000 BCE, Leif Erikson (a Swedish Viking explorer) landed in Newfoundland/Labrador, but for some unknown reason, he and the settlers abandoned their settlements (which are still around today!). The natives lived in relative peace, still having their squabbles and whatnot.

[Authors Note: there appears to be nothing in canon about whether or not the natives are considered separate from the countries, so this can be up for debate]

Nouvelle-France
In 1534, France discovered Canada. He was one of her few biological children (the rest of her colonies were adopted/kidnapped). France named her son "Nouvelle-France" (eng., New France), after herself. Nouvelle-France was a hub for the fur trade and made most of his money that way. Nouvelle-France had a good relation with most native tribes, except the Iroquois who—rightfully—despised the French and British for claiming their land.

Nouvelle-France and New England—which would soon be known as the USA/America—were very tense around each other, due to the rivalry of their parents, France and England. But when Nouvelle-France became British Canada, the two relaxed a bit (until 1812 that is).

In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht cut most of Nouvelle-France up and gave it to England. France was sour about this, how England could so horribly hurt her son. Little did she know what England had in mind next.

In 1754, there was a squabble between France and Britain for Ohio, which escalated into the Seven Years War. In the end, France lost. She lost both her honour and her closest son. England killed Nouvelle-France and replaced him with a puppet of his own making. British Canada. A son who would do his bidding and never ask questions, and was not French. This marked the end of Nouvelle-France.

Nouvelle-France lived from 1534 to 1763.

British Canada
With the aid of British industrialization, British Canada was more profitable from the fur trade than Nouvelle-France had been. But also more ruthless. He was meant to be a perfect colony, never question his father, and basically be a mini-England. Which, he was.

In 1812, America—now independent—wanted to expand into his brother's territory. But, faced defeat as England protected his loyal son. (Many historians argue that neither side won, but in Canadian schools, it's taught that Canada won because we fended off the Americans from taking our land.)

[WARNING FOR NEXT PART: Genocide against natives, cultural genocide, racism, sexual abuse, and child abuse]

The First Nations were seen as savage. British Canada and England believed they needed to learn "proper etiquette."

One of the most infamous crimes British Canada ever committed was the Residential Schools. Taking native children and forcing them into schools run by priests and nuns. The native children were stripped of their culture and were forced to be "proper." They were not allowed to speak their native languages, worship their gods or observe their religions, wear their traditional clothes, or do anything but listen to the authorities at the school. They were stripped of their childhood and their culture.

The children were forced to do intensive manual labour and were allowed very little freedom if at all. Children were molested and raped in these schools by authorities. Many children died from starvation, illness, or were purposely killed. Others died trying to escape. Altogether, 6 000 native children died, of the 150 000 who were put into this system. The survivors have had to live on with horrible memories of abuse and the stripping of their culture. After going through this system, many of the survivors were abandoned on the streets or have died due to circumstances relating to living through this system.

The last residential school closed in 1996. 23 years ago.

But this is what British Canada thought was moral. I think that gives you a good idea of the kind of person he was. But of course, residential schools continued into Modern Canada's lifetime.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Present
Canada is less of a puppet to England but still listens to him. He's constantly trying to make up for things that happened in the past but still muddling it up.

Canada is very close to his brother America, and neither of them really hold grudges for the whole 1812 fiasco.

Canada is now a very peaceful, inclusive country, although he still struggles with native relations.

"The G8 summit is an annual meeting between leaders from eight of the most powerful countries in the world. The aim is to try to tackle global problems by discussing big issues and planning what action to take. The leaders of the countries meet every year in a different member country" (apparently Canada is powerful)

 NATO 

haha...NATO...

Government
"''Canada’s style of government is based on the British system, with the national government-run as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Canada also resembles the United States in that the country is divided into 13 provinces and territories, all of whom have their own separate governments with unique powers." ''

Canada has a technical constitutional monarchy, as the Queen of the United Kingdom is the head of state. The parliament of Canada is located in Ottawa, Ontario, which they split up into two chambers: the House of Commons and the Senate.

United Kingdom
Canada is the UK's oldest son and first child, and they have close relations.

France
Canada's mother. She loves Canada very much and regrets how she abandoned him early on (Nouvelle-France). The two of them are very close now though and love confusing the rest of the family by speaking only French. Although sometimes they confuse each other since their dialects are so different!

USA
Canada is extremely fond of his brother, often relying on him for protection despite the fact that Canada is the older brother, which gets on USA's nerves sometimes but he enjoys looking out for him nonetheless. In many people's headcanons, they are always using rude humour to make fun of one another and this sometimes causes arguments between them. But they probably have the closest sibling relationship compared to all other countries in this fandom.

Spain
Spain is Canada's aunt and stepmother, but Canada feels no hate for her at all for marrying his father after divorcing France. In fact, they have a close friendship between them and Spain enjoys her nephew's company.

Malaysia
Canada was the first to recognize Malaysia independence. Canada also regrets that he 'send' his plastic to Malaysia clay.

Australia
"Australia is..... something. He is a great person to be around when he is not being mean"

- Canada's thoughts about Australia Australia and Canada get along, that is of course when Australia does not steal his maple syrup, or prank him in to oblivion.

Ukraine
Ukraine is one of Canada's closest friends and there have been hints of some sort of romantic relationship between them. They are often shipped together.

Misc Notes

 * Very multicultural and open-minded
 * Believes all religions to be true

Trivia

 * To Canada, they usually call it "Hufflepuff" due to the similarity of heraldry and history with the house of students of Hogwarts. This also happens with Spain as "Gryffindor" and Greece as "Ravenclaw".
 * America and Canada does share a few similar things, but a few different too:
 * 1. They where both formally inhabited by Native Americans. (1000)
 * 2. Bought where former British colonies (even though they became independence in different years. America was on July 4th in the 1770s, Canada became independence 100 years after America, July 1st 1867)
 * 3. Different laws. Canada bans guns, America allows guns (as long as the owner of the gun updates their license and don't hurt a pet or human).
 * 4. Chocolate eggs. Canada have Kinder Surprise eggs, America have Kinder Joy. (Not to be confused with each other).
 * 5. Same allies. They do have some common enemies and allies.
