In the Canadian spirit of things, we should start out by saying we're sorry for making this gallery of the most Canadian news headlines ever written. These are news headlines that could only happen in Canada, and that's not a bad thing. Nobody's ever said &quot;never go full Canadian,&quot; because that usually means something extremely kind or wonderful is about to happen.Even if you're not from the Great White North, you can't help but enjoy these extremely funny Canadian news headlines.

True Crime

Canada - the United States&#39;&nbsp;friendly neighbor to the north.&nbsp;A&nbsp;nation with an affinity for hockey and saying &quot;sorry&quot; for ostensibly no reason. A country that&nbsp;has produced the equally non-threatening Drake and Jim Carrey.&nbsp;Who would possibly assume that there is a grim&nbsp;undercurrent of bloody gang violence in the frigid provinces above the US&nbsp;border?

In reality, Canada is not without its crime and gang activity. The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/01/25/bc-gang-war-charges_n_9074128.html" target="_blank">BC&nbsp;Drug War</a>&nbsp;has produced nearly a decade of savagery and bloodshed in one of North America&#39;s most scenic landscapes, and that&#39;s not to take anything away from Calgary or Toronto, which also boast criminal organizations that stack up with some of the most brutal around the world.&nbsp;

This list explores some of these gangs, whose levels of brutality are only matched by their range of diversity - from the neo-Nazi White Boy Posse, to a gang literally called the United Nations, Canada offers illicit samplings from a broad and violent spectrum.&nbsp;

For being covered in snow and stuck with freezing temperatures for most of the year,&nbsp;Canada somehow manages to be the most wholesome country in the world.&nbsp;I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s the poutine or the picturesque scenery, but&nbsp;the people of Canada always know how to say the right thing. Check out r/<a href="https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=subreddit%3Amademesmile%20title%3A%22canada%22&amp;sort=top" target="_blank">mademesmile</a> for more heartwarming posts.

Hip-Hop / Rap

This list of great Canadian rappers is longer than you might think. While initially, the pool of popular rappers from Canada may seem small, there are many talented Canadian hip hop artists. Some Canadian rappers, like Drake, are well known for their nationality, while some people on this list are more surprising. &nbsp;Unlike other scenes around the world, rap was slow to start in Canada and even slower to gain worldwide recognition. That is, until 1998. The single ”Northern Touch&quot; by Rascalz in collaboration with Checkmate, Kardinal Offishall, Thrust and Choclair was released to worldwide acclaim and Canadian hip hop was finally on the map.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Who is your favorite Canadian rapper? Check out the list below, vote and add anyone that you think should be considered one the best Canadian rappers.&nbsp;

Martin Brodeur

Martin Pierre Brodeur (French pronunciation: ​[maʁtɛ̃ bʁɔdœʁ]; born May 6, 1972) is a Canadian-American former professional ice hockey goaltender and current team executive. He played 22 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL), 21 of them for the New Jersey Devils, with whom he won three Stanley Cup championships and five Eastern Conference championships in 17 postseason campaigns. He also won two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada in the 2002 and 2010 Winter Olympic Games, as well as several other medals with Team Canada in other international competitions. Brodeur is widely regarded as one of the greatest goaltenders of all time and in 2017 was named by the league as one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players". He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2018.
Brodeur holds numerous NHL and franchise records among goaltenders; he ranks as the league's all-time regular season leader in wins (691), losses (397), shutouts (125), games played (1,266), goals scored (3), assists (45), and points earned (47). He won at least 30 games in twelve straight seasons between 1995–96 and 2007–08 and is the only goalie in NHL history with eight 40-win seasons. He is a four-time Vezina Trophy winner, a five-time William M. Jennings Trophy winner, a ten-time NHL All-Star, a Calder Memorial Trophy winner, and one of only 11 NHL goaltenders to score a goal in both the regular season and the playoffs.Brodeur used a hybrid style of goaltending by standing up more than typical butterfly style goalies, though he adapted to more modern techniques at the latter stage of his career. He was known for his puck handling, his positional play, and his reflexes, especially with his glove hand. Brodeur's prowess at puck handling was so well known that it led in part to the NHL changing its rules regarding where goalies were allowed to handle the puck outside of the goal crease like a sweeper-defenseman, adding what is known as "The Brodeur Rule". He announced his retirement in the middle of the 2014–15 season after a brief stint with the Blues, having played in seven games with the team. He is the current executive vice president of business development for the Devils.
