The thing about Canadian stereotypes is that they’re all complimentary. Examples: Canadians are nice, they eat delicious foods such as poutine, and are a little weird (in a good way). They are also known to enjoy hockey and maple syrup. Frank Gehry is Canadian, as is Leonard Cohen. What’s not to love?
Fitting neatly into the overlapping categories of Awesome and Canadian is ecojot, a line of delightful paper goods made of recycled materials and biodegradable inks and glues. Like many Canadian exports, the products are slightly kooky in the best possible way. Our favorites, the notebooks, are sturdy and jumbo-sized––like kid’s sketchbooks–– and fronted with designs that look like nothing else in the art store. In the ecojot cosmos, dogs are hot dog-shaped and wear pinwheel caps, birds are peppermint-colored, and whales have freckles. It’s hard to know whether to use the books or cuddle with them. One point for Canada!
