The best things to come out of Canada include insulin, peanut butter \u2013 and Ryan Reynolds, according to a poll. Research of 2,000 adults found many are unaware of the innovations and famous faces that have emanated from America’s northern neighbour.<\/p>\n
The pacemaker, alkaline batteries, and maple syrup are among the top inventions from Canada, along with the Walkie-Talkie and the snowmobile.<\/p>\n
And the country’s favourite celebrity exports include Keanu Reeves, Bryan Adams, and Celine Dion.<\/p>\n
However, nearly half (48 percent) wrongly believe Canadian-born Jim Carrey is from America, and a similar percentage think the same about Pamela Anderson.<\/p>\n
And the confusion doesn\u2019t stop at famous faces, as more than a fifth (22 percent) thought Toronto was the capital of Canada \u2013 when it is, in fact, Ottawa.<\/p>\n
The study was commissioned by Canadian airline, Air Transat, which in response to the findings, created an American or Canadian quiz testing people’s knowledge when it comes to famous faces.<\/p>\n
Sonia Kurek, the brand\u2019s UK commercial director, said: \u201cSo many great things have been born out of Canada \u2013 people included \u2013 that it\u2019s too difficult to decide what tops the list.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we\u2019ve loved seeing what the nation considers \u201cthe best of\u201d \u2013 and it\u2019s been especially interesting to see the celebs and inventions we assume are American.\u201d<\/p>\n
It also emerged its natural beauty (62 percent) was voted the best thing Canada had to offer, as 76 percent agree its scenery is \u201cworld-leading\u201d.<\/p>\n
Wildlife (42 percent), the friendly people (23 percent), and the variety of outdoor activities on offer (26 percent) also featured high on the list.<\/p>\n
However, 46 percent think everything the country has to offer is overshadowed \u2013 by being situated next door to the USA.<\/p>\n
And while more than three-quarters (77 percent) knew that Niagara Falls was an iconic Canadian spot, just 29 percent could name Alberta\u2019s Banff National Park, and only 12 percent knew of the Cabot Trail.<\/p>\n
Of those who haven\u2019t yet visited the country, 26 percent confirm it is on their future travel bucket list.<\/p>\n
And 48 percent claim there is no real reason for not going yet, other than just \u201cnot getting round to it\u201d, according to the OnePoll study.<\/p>\n
When thinking of holidaying there, an outdoor-type break is what springs to mind for a third of all those polled, while 26 percent envision a road-trip style holiday.<\/p>\n
And four in ten who haven\u2019t yet been believe a Canadian holiday would give them some of the best content for their social media.<\/p>\n
Sonia added: \u201cCanada is the ideal place to try new things \u2013 from whale-watching to sledding, the list of activities is endless.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is something for everyone, no matter what your holiday goals are \u2013 and for those who simply haven\u2019t got round to it yet, booking a ticket to the Great White North couldn’t be easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
