Most people that are from Canada have already posted most of the things we are famous for. Though they have forgotten a couple of sports:
First one being Basketball. It was created by James A. Naismith, a Physical Education teacher in 1891.
Second we have Lacrosse. This was first played by the Natives, just east of the region that extends Hudson Bay. It is as well considered to be Canada's national sport, while Hockey is often thought of in the same respect.
Lastly we have Curling. Curling was first reported to be played in Canada in 1758 by the Fraser Highlanders in Louisbourg. It is said that they used to play with gun carriage hubs as stones on frozen ice.

Famous for Samba (which rarely gets properly portrayed by foreign media, if ever), the scenery, the skies, the stupendous women (I am born and raised here and still choke sometimes), racial diversity, hospitality, our cooking, our creativity.
And the violence. Finally, our violence is starting to get known out there.
