You know you're from Canada when ...

You only know three spices: salt, pepper and ketchup.

You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at Christmas.

You've taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.

You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.

The local paper covers national and international headlines on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.

You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

You find -40C a little chilly.

The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freeze.

You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelery and your Sorels.

You understand the Labatts Blue commercials.

You perk up when you hear the theme from "Hockey Night in Canada".

When you are so happy that it will be 0 degrees C. today.
spring is here because it is Rrroll up the rim to win time

How about.....

You know you're Canadian when you have to teach your children to keep their tongues off all outdoor metal surfaces during the winter months!

Whoo Hoo! Now I'm obssessed AND inspiring!!

Thought of another one - We understand why people have plugs hanging out of the front of their cars!

 

[adamsloco]

How about "You can go to the store and buy a bag of milk."

 

[Torontogal]

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.

You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians.

You know what a touque is.

You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee".

You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan."

You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada."

You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

"Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?"

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada.

 

[CanadianPaco]

... when you know what a "double-double" is!

 

[jersey shark]

....how about "you speak with an accent that's two thirds American, one sixth English and one sixth Irish....with a few unique twists of its own (oot and aboot, anyone?)....yet usually deny you HAVE that accent!!"

 

[Thumper_ehhhhh]

Aboot time this topic came up ehhhhh

 

[Kurby]

You know you're Canadian when you know the difference between a napkin and a serviette

Your words have extra letters. coloUr, favoUrite, neighboUr,

You know more about American history then Americans.

You know that while visiting southern States and the weather comes on in July that just because north of the boarder is shaded white that doesn't mean a blizzard has hit Canada.

....how about "you speak with an accent that's two thirds American, one sixth English and one sixth Irish....with a few unique twists of its own (oot and aboot, anyone?)....yet usually deny you HAVE that accent!!"

We actually sound quite different right across the country - much like you Americans.

 

[adamsloco]

How about you can 'get' the following joke:

This just in to CBC News. The world will end at exactly 11pm tonight. Half hour later in Newfoundland.

Good one!

 

[F4disneyfan]

You know you are Canadian because you know James Neighsmith was from Canada and invented basketball.

 

[ont/ohana]

When you and your kids are swimming in WDW when it's 60F!

When your shorts come out of hidding in April even if it is only 10c!

 

[drag n' fly]

We actually sound quite different right across the country - much like you Americans.

Would you believe on our trip a family pegged us not only from Canada but could tell by our accent we were from Calgary!

WOW! That's impressive! No one ever pegs me from Toronto - I always get "Ottawa Valley"...

 

[DutchsMommy]

....how about "you speak with an accent that's two thirds American, one sixth English and one sixth Irish....with a few unique twists of its own (oot and aboot, anyone?)....yet usually deny you HAVE that accent!!"

I don't understand that oot and aboot thing - I swear we really don't sound like that! But take someone from Chicago or NJ, now there is an accent!

I know I am CDN when I can't wait until Friday 'case Harold HUssein says it's gonna be plus 2 degrees WOOOOOHOOOOO (OK, minus 4 with windchill but who cares!!!)

 

[mackeyapp]

You know you are from Eastern Canada when the DW lifeguard is walking around in a winter jacket, hat and gloves and we are swimming around in the pool.
