There is something amazing about stock photography that I always enjoy. Some of the situations the models are in are just absurd. I would love to know what the person responsible for coming up with the scenes is thinking. It seems CIRA really went above and beyond here.
Oh dear... far nicer than this would have been stock photos which are noticeably in Canadian cities. Couple laughing outside Atwater/Kensington market over a chocolatine/timbits, person working on laptop with Capilano bridge in sight, something about a rodeo?<p>But yah... we can pretend "holding an axe in a conference room" is super relatable/useful :P
Oh good! Being an expat, one pet peeve of mine is how people tend to freak out whenever I bring my axe to the office. With these, I can politely nudge them to rectify their cultural intolerance :)
I don't know about the moose...I encountered one up in Atikaki and, well, I wished I was anywhere but there (luckily he ignored me). Playing basketball with a moose is just foolish.
These pictures are funny because some of the stereotypes are true. For example, those lumberjack shirts from Marks Work Warehouse are total chick magnets here in Ontario.
As a Canadian i find these pictures weird.<p>It seems to imply that women outnumber men yet statistics canada indicates this is not the case?<p>Lumberjack guy and two women
Lone female hockey player
Women drinking beer<p>We dont need to take opportunity to push a political message, sometimes we just have stock photos without careful screening to meet some agenda.
