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.

For non-Canadians, CIRA is the registration authority of Canada's TLD (.ca)

Oh dear... far nicer than this would have been stock photos which are noticeably in Canadian cities. Couple laughing outside Atwater&#x2F;Kensington market over a chocolatine&#x2F;timbits, person working on laptop with Capilano bridge in sight, something about a rodeo?<p>But yah... we can pretend &quot;holding an axe in a conference room&quot; is super relatable&#x2F;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 :)

There should be a picture of someone getting complex surgery without having to pay a single cent.

&gt; Seriously, these are free? Yup, like health care or love.<p>That&#x27;s just genius.

sure these are stereotypes but so many Canadian stereotypes are good ones - let&#x27;s lean in!

I guess you could say they’re discussing hockey-stick growth in those businesses meetings...

These are brilliant, I hope companies or other organizations from other countries follow suite.

I don&#x27;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.

i can see this becoming commonplace. Instead of paying for stock photos , being paid to use them , with product placement.

I would like to see him holding a BlackBerry, but I think we all understand the reality.

Only thing missing is a Mountie writing someone a traffic ticket.

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.
