Description lol Okay, so was thinking last night, if there was a "Canada" in Equestria (the setting of MLP: Friendship is magic), what would it be like and what would the ponies who live there be like?

I got to thinking then, what appeared very much like a southern province was visited in one episode, with Buffalo, and there is Zecura, a Zebra from some far away land, so if Canada had an equestrian counterpart, Reindeer seem a fitting inhabitant.

While the buffalo did not have cutie marks (they seem to be a whole separate species and not a branch of Ponies) and it's debatable if Zecura actually has one (might be a tattoo) I wanted to give my little reindeer one anyway.

As you might be able to tell from the 3rd sign down, I've also incorporated Russia proxy into the Equestrian North as well.

I've also reasoned that the skies in the north are very cold and there are only brief periods where Pegasus ponies can fly around to clear up the skies, resulting in short summers and long winters (the weather/environment in Equestria is very strange to me, as apparently season changes and weather have to be induced manually).

I hope you all enjoy the picture and the horse puns I threw into the city names. I know the pictures is a little flat, but I did this at work and was just using the pony template provided by ~AcidicSubstance

Edit: By the way, the "CT" on the signs is a pony distance of measurement I made up, Canter Trots, no idea what the real life equivalent/conversion would be. Also, little frosty is meant to be an Arctic fox and not a dog.

Edit 2: Also, based on some comments I've seen on some maps people have drawn up, I changed Stablegrad to Stalliongrad, makes more sense I guess.

Wow, okay, first off, I live in Winnipeg dude, I am well aware that we got some damn hot days in summer. I never said Canada is a eternal winter wonderland or anything, that's just the popular image of Canada so it made sense to use it for a point of reference for a wintery area of Equestria. I am sorry that I apparently offended you.

... your kidding right? I live in edmonton.. and sometimes we don't even get a white Christmas silly! Nice try, though.

Count-Urbonov In reply to Hevsicles [2011-10-09 16:14:12 +0000 UTC]

So, because Edmonton doesn't get a white christmas sometimes, I must be kidding if I reference Canada when discussing a wintery based area of Equestria?

Huh?

I live In Winnipg dude, so I guess I am basing it more on where I live, and less on places that don't get as much snow. And you "nice try" comment comes off as a bit condescending there, some might take offence, so careful. Internet people can be volatile.

I think Canadaland in Equestria could have some ponies too... they'd just have to be "winter" ponies, like those big horses with feathery hoofs (What's the name... the ones on the Budweiser adds!). The reindeer is cute too!

daughterofbastet [2011-09-03 13:29:51 +0000 UTC]

My only correction would be, she should have cloven hooves (like the buffalo). Other than that, lovely job!

I like this idea. I have a feeling that part of the year, Luna would too, as beyond a certain point it'd be night all day. X3

Of course, at that certain point, at a certain time of year, it'd be day all day, too...

Hmm, I had forgot to consider what part Luna would play in all this, interesting.

When I first saw this my first thought was "Isn't it a little early for Christmas?". It's not that it looks like Christmas, it's the fact that down here in Southern California, we rarely have snow during Christmas season. Although the reindeer is a little "Christmasy"

I think that's a good depiction of "Canada" in Equestria, and you can never go wrong with putting a reindeer in there.

lol it's got a reindeer, a candy-cane pole, snow, X-mas trees, I think it's fair to say it does look somewhat Christmas-y.

Remind me, your sig quote is so familiar...

It's okay, it's not one of the most famous quotes floating around, like "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel"
