Canada shook away it’s British roots quite a bit (wtf is cricket anyway) and tried to distance itself culturally from America due to proximity.
However Canadian humour and Aussie humour is very different, but appealing to each other.

Oh yeah they’re different types of humour but mutually intelligible 😂 my uncle is Canadian (partner to my aunt/dad’s sister) and it’s definitely evident, but still funny and on point!
And it isn’t weird at all, Aussie humour is its own thing but very very heavily influenced by Britain and the USA for sure!

Aussie sarcasm and shit talking for the fun of it, is second to none.
Brits do it in a condescending way, but Aussies do it more egalitarian. None one is safe, and everyone can be made fun off.
Canadian sarcasm is not far off just more polite.
American sarcasm is reserved for those who can think…so not enough.
