You Know You're Canadian When....
I found this great list about Canadians....
You Know You're Canadian When....
1) You're not offended by the term, "Homo Milk."
2) You understand the phrase, "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."
3) You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.
4) You drink pop, not soda.
5) You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean.
6) You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars.
7) You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
8) You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
9) You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
10) You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.
11) You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

13) You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!
14) You know what a touque is.
15) You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee".

17) You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan."
18) You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada."
19) You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.
20) "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?"
21) Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some.
22) There's German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food.
23) You call a "mouse" a "moose".
24) You like the Americans a little because they don't want Quebec either.
25) Contests run by anyone other than the government have "skill-testing questions" that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize.
26) Everything is labelled in English and French.
27) Milk comes in plastic bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.
28) Mountain Dew has no caffeine.
29)You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada.
To my fellow Canadians.... admit it.... that was pretty darn accurate.
To my non-Canadian readers.... c'mon, you have strange things that you say/do, too!

My mom lives in BC - she told me she has yet to see milk in a plastic bag. She doesn't want anything to do with Quebec either. Perhaps we should uproot the lot, taking the entire state of Louisiana while we are at it, and move them back to France where they belong
:o)
i've heard that montreal has some great strip clubs and is a fun town to party in...is this correct? great blog by the way!
Canadians are always dreaming up a lotta ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young! - Gus from "Canadian Bacon"
As a Bostonian/American I was able to enjoy a wonderful life at a Canadian University (St. F. X. U. ~ Antigonowhere, NS). Best education money could buy. Canadians are the best international friends the U.S. has oe has ever had. The largest undefended border in the world. You never hear about Canadian Armed Forces only Canidian Peace Keepers.
I honestly wish everyone would realize that CANADA is the future (especially if the US Government keeps messing around, period).
Hope all is well.
Keep writing, you've got international friends here!
Please...you've got to realize that all the idiots you see on television from the US are only put on television because they ARE idiots. We all get made to look bad. Hope to get up there in a few years when our kids get a little older.
Is it true that in Quebec there is a law that if there is English lettering on a sign, that the size of the letters can't be very large?
Dont know what makes you canadian, but, a nice list you prepared for them how to know themselves canadians when they are roaming in somewhere else to get to know.
That list rocked...I've been all over Canada...interesting people, more laid back, too...
what the hell is poutine? I saw it at Burger King in Toronto. Not even my pals from France ever heard of it...
