I think the only Canadian stereotypes I can think of off the top of my head is being overly nice/polite...that and not being able to drive 
but in all fairness, I live in Michigan and we all act like aggressive jerks here and drive like that as well. I'm not sure what it is with the driving...I think it's how people in Canada pass cars on the highway and how people in my state do. It's different in a way that annoys people from Michigan. Not that we're right... it just does.
As for eh... Yeah, I thought that was a given truth about Canadians. People in my state will say 'eh' as well, but it's a lot more common in the U.P. than the lower peninsula. Still, a lot of us do say eh here as well.

I think I just saw the place I'd love to move to if I can retire early (Kelowna, BC):

This is completely consistent with its usage in Chinese.

Kamloops is pretty mundane. If it weren't to visit a close family friend once in a while, none of us would ever go there. It's just.. meh. Hope is never a destination for me, more like just a place to stop for gas & maybe a meal at the Home Restaurant where they serve massive portions of really good quality comfort food. I have seen from a high school acquaintance on FB that there are a bunch of old train tunnels known as the "Othello Tunnels," that look like a neat little hike - might have to stop and check them out someday.. but for now, Hope is mainly just the last pit stop on the highway to fuel up to get back home.
Kelowna is one of the premium spots in the BC Interior for sure.. biggest city in the area, has an international airport, is on Okanagan Lake etc. Nice little city. Super expensive now that so many retirees from the Vancouver area and oil money from Alberta have moved in there. It's also a hot spot for drug/human trafficking crime - all the major gangs have a foothold there.. international airport, small city/big town with a pretty weak police presence = perfect opportunity for criming. It's still overall really nice, though.

Only East of the Rockies. BC is full of long haired weed smoking yoga pants wearing hippie types. We're the Californians of Canadians.
