I thought for ages that all the Canada references in Norwegian Duolingo were tied to my location, that someone from England would see "Storbritannia" in its place, and so on. But from the discussion, I'm gathering not.
Drømmene mine er beskjedne fordi jeg kommer fra Brasil og som Canada, vi har ikke universitet gratis.
det er sant. men i usa er det mye mer dyrt enn både canada og brasil. eller... canada i hvert fall

En annen kommentar fra noen fra Brasil. Det finnes flere offentlige universitet i Brasil. Selvfølgelig er det ikke nok for alle, så mange studerer i private universiteter. Men ihvertfall finnes det gratis universitet.
It's a cultural comment/joke. Canadians are stereotypically very modest and polite.
I just want to add that this stereotype is not as common in Norway, as Norway has few relations with Canada.
Maybe Norwegians don't recognize it because they too are very modest and polite.
I think that it's mostly a thing in the US and possibly the UK too, but it's not for most Europeans. The only reason I know about this stereotype is because of the Simpsons.
