Is this the most Canadian picture ever?
Toronto Sun ^ | March 20, 2015 | QMI AGENCY

When you think of iconic Canadian symbols, there are a few things that may come to mind - a Mountie's red coat, the snow-covered peaks of Whistler or our national winter passtime, hockey.

On Thursday afternoon, the B.C. Royal Canadian Mounted Police tweeted out a photo that could be the most Canadian image ever.

The picture shows a Mountie in full uniform playing hockey on a mountain-side rink with the caption, “We may be Mounties, but we are all still kids at heart with @NHL dreams”.

As of 2 p.m. on Friday, the image had already been retweeted more than 800 times.

The longer I look at that picture, the more I start to see a leaning tower of Pisa.

Bazongas?

Isn’t that what they call balloons in Canada?

I’d have just paddled over to the American side before they could fine me :)

I agree.

NOTHING can lay claim to being “The most Canadian [fill in the blank] ever” without a lot of moose.

That picture needs more moose.

I think they qualify as a floatation device.

Throw in a couple French-speaking 17 year-old hookers, some gay lumberjacks, Ricky, Julian, Bubbles... and a Samsquanch... and you nail it!
