As children's shows characters go, Caillou was always an easy one to make fun of. The bald Canadian named Caillou was pretty much asking for it. This weekend, the internet was presented with a reason to think twice before mocking the cartoon lad. Twitter user @NatalieZiesmer was going down a google hole when she discovered that the veritable toddler is allegedy 5'11". That's taller than most of the dudes on Tinder. News of Caillou's hulking height quickly went viral, despite it becoming very clear that this info is definitely from a user-edited wiki. Unfortunately, that knowledge won't be able to expel the towering toddler from our nightmares.

Toronto, the capital of Ontario, is the most statistically multicultural city in the world. While there are probably millions of heartwarming success stories, the tale of Nav Bhatia, who immigrated to the city from India in the 80's, is especially touching. After almost 25 years of never missing a game, he's been given the official title of Toronto Raptors Superfan and community ambassador. His presence at their basketball games, and court-side seats, have been well-documented, but until now, his amazing story has been pretty much under wraps. That changed when correspondent Mohammad Lila shared Bhatia's saga in a touching Twitter thread that we're going to be remembering for years to come.
Oh, Canada. The land of bagged milk and hockey fanatics. Of politeness and free healthcare. Of maple syrup and saying "sorry" way too much. At least, those are the stereotypes that we Americans know and love about our friends to the north. Are any of these things actually accurate? We don't know, but we kind of hope so!
Okay, we have to admit that we're a little Degrassi-obsessed over here, but we can't help it - the show brings back countless memories, including the infamous scene in which our man Jimmy gets shot, or us shipping Emma and Sean forever (suck it, Spinner). Such an iconic TV show of course deserves a plethora of memes!
O Canada, all of the stereotypes about you are true, eh?
Drake has got to be one of the most meme-able celebrities right now. Between his lollipop reactions, "Hotline Bling" dance, secret child drama and more, the Degrassi star is just too damn meme-able for his own good. Go ahead and take a look below...they'll be the best you ever had.
Celine Dion's had a rough two years. Her husband passed away back in 2016, but judging by yesterday's Instagram post, our favorite Canadian diva is very much back. The very badass photo, featuring a fiercely yellow-clad Dion staring out of a Bangkok skyscraper, caught the attention of Twitter user Matthew A. Cherry, who immediately likened the photo to the cover of a flaming hot mixtape. He asked his followers what the mixtape would be called, and the hilarity continued from there. The pun-tastic Twitter thread is so epic that it's even caught the attention of director Ava DuVernay. We've included most of the gems here, but you should definitely visit the thread if you're as into these puns as we are.
