Happy Canada Day! In honour of the country's holiday, I put together a case for dating Canadians — a topic near and dear to my heart as I'm actually married to one. That said, I'm making some generalities here that are specific to my Canucks-loving spouse and may not apply to all significant others hailing from the country. But incorporating personal experience with famous examples — thank you Ryan Gosling, Robin Scherbatsky, Scott Speedman, and the one and only William Shatner, to name a few — I've put together 25 reasons you should head north for love.

They really only care about one sport: hockey.
They look really cute in flannel.
You never have to be self-conscious about being pasty white year-round.
They don't obsess over appearances.
They’re quiet and mysterious.
They enjoy the outdoors.
They're always polite and friendly.
They're confident without being a d*ck about it.
They have adorable accents.
They're, like, really nice. Like, carrying puppies on an ice rink nice.
They're cool and collected under pressure.
They WORK that beard (playoff or otherwise).
They're healthy and take care of their bodies.
They’re interested in global issues.
Their musical taste is diverse because they'll listen to any and all Canadian singers.
They have an extensive sweater collection you can borrow from.
They support women's issues.
They're not as uptight or stressed as Americans.
They can make fun of themselves and their Canadian-ness.
They love Canada but appreciate America, too.
They're socially conscious.
You get to celebrate even more holidays with them.
They're more tolerant.
They appreciate a good doughnut.
And in conclusion: Ryan Gosling.
