Canadian Signatures
Introduction
Earlier this day, I went to a sugar shack with my dad. I took this opportunity to document Canadian signatures. Although Canada generally exhibits the "generic modern day place" signature, the elements listed below make the country stand out a bit more. I also decided to include French names this time as it is my primary language and I am not 100% certain that all English names are correct as Canadian signatures typically don't get mentioned in media.
Signature List
Without further ado, here's the list of Canadian signatures:
