Why Does Europe And The United States Have More Of An Impact In Peoples Minds ? To Me It Seems Like People Outside Of Canada Don't Care At All About Canada.

Maybe its coz Canada has the admirable habit
of minding own business, and not alarming anyone
with crazy antucs. ( trudeau may change that)
It's small in population. Liechtenstein has even less influence.

Don't be so hard on the Canucks. ;0)
They're actually a pretty spectacular country harboring a lot of talented and intelligent people. I think the list is endless with prominent famous Canadians.
Plus there's curling!

That's just strange for such a large country to have a small population.
Most of it is frozen wasteland of rocky uninhabitable landscape.
Population less than half that of the UK, maybe that population/government does not care much for expansionism, wageing war, needing its name in headlines of every news organisation in the world. They are quite content to get on with their lives in a beautiful country.
I see no problem with that
Wonderful recreational sport, once you understand it. Our junior girls national team just managed to make it back to the world juniors after last year's disaster of being relegated.
Well, first off, welcome to Religious Forums!
As for your question, Canada is still one of the elite "G7" countries, so they probably do have an impact - just not as much as their southern neighbor. Both Canada and the U.S. have the same Mother Country, but Canada chose to become the "good son," while the U.S. chose to become the rebellious teenager (but we sort of matured later on). To paraphrase an old quote: "Well-behaved countries rarely make history."

I don't know, the Netherlands seem to think we're kinda cool:

Every year, the people of the Netherlands celebrate the 1945 liberation of their nation by Allied...
But then there's the list of wars involving Canada.
Toronto claims to be the most multicultural city in the world. If you're into long scenic drives and hikes, we can really do that too. There are still some very rural places. There are many contrasts between us and the gigantic neighbour looming to the south.

Once you get much above 50N Latitude... it gets pretty darn cold, with lots of snow. Most, if not all of its major cities are south of that.
I'm much more of a city person than I am a hiking person but if I ever went I'd like to see some of the rural locations too
I actually really like both, and am equally at home in either now, but it did take some time to adjust to urban life. I think childhood has a real bearing on that.
Isn't the Canadian countryside a bit dangerous though?
I mean, there are bears out there aren't there? And wolverines and things like that
lol ... Bears remain in the forests, where few people go. I did carry bear spray on our last few isolated waterfall hikes though. The key is to make noise as you walk. Very few people have ever seen a wolverine. Your chances of a car accident or being mugged in a city are far higher. But yes, urban raised people do feel a bit intimidated out there. Where I am there are no poisonous snakes or insects. It's incredibly safe.
I think of Canada as a large wildlife refuge with some high tech bubble cities dotted around with lots of ice and snow for much of the year. In my mind its a snow globe that makes a tune when you shake it. I think Canada would make a great screensaver.
Its politically very influential both here and abroad. Its also economically influential.

At 53N, we're at +6C today, but it's been an unusually warm dry winter so far.
