What do Beer, Hockey, and Social Media Have in common?
Was the title too much of a giveaway? I like to have a little mystery in my titles rather than put lay out all the cards on the table but some stereotypes just can’t be dodged. If you were playing a word association game and someone said Canada, the first two words out of your mouth would be Beer and Hockey. Ok ok, you’re right, maybe a few would say Maple Syrup, too. If you’re not Canadian, you might wonder why I’m starting out the post this way…. “Uhhh, won’t they be mad at you?” Nope, don’t worry, they’re probably laughing with me and nodding their heads in agreement. I’ve spent the last couple weeks reaching out to some of my friends from the North and one thing I’ve noticed is that they have thick skin. I’m sure they need it around this time of year!! But before we get into the Social Media aspect and how I believe Canadians excel at it, I’d like to share a quote from Jackie Bigford (who you’ll hear more from later) about what goes into being Canadian. Her description is much more eloquent than anything I could dream up. In fact, I should probably just give her a co-authoring credit!
