Is there anything distinctive about Easter in Canada similar to that distinctive way we call our Thanksgiving "Canadian Thanksgiving".
Yes, there are at least two Canadian Easter jokes that express what makes Canadian Easter Canadian. They are below.
There is the new Pixar animation film, Turning Red, set in Toronto. It is about a 13-year-old girl who transforms into a giant red panda when she gets too excited. There are "easter eggs" throughout the movie/trailer.
“There are a couple of great Canadian Easter eggs in this trailer and we can't wait for Canadian audiences to see more when the film hits theatres next year,” Mason said Tuesday in a release.
HERE's the trailer. When you find them, let me know. I don't see anything, but find the trailer very cute. I wish they were just easter eggs and not some special message.
There is one obvious difference between Easter in the US and Canada. We do not have mass congregations for Easter. In the US, the President and First Lady host the White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition dating back to 1878. Approximately 30,000 people will take part this year. The last time that anywhere near that many people congregated in Ottawa was in February with the Convoy Protest and we weren't at all pleased.
