Great White North
Land of maple
Great White North is a nickname for Canada, referring to its northern latitude and snowy winters.
The phrase is affectionate and often humorous, evoking images of vast frozen landscapes: Our neighbors from the Great White North.
It gained wider recognition through the comic sketches of Bob and Doug McKenzie in the 1980s.
