You substitute beer for water when cooking.
You refuse to consume chocolate that doesn't come in either Smarties, Coffee Crisp, or Laura Secord format.
You die a little inside if you can't get your Tim's double-double every morning.
You know the difference between real snow and "television" snow -- the white stuff that passes for snow on tv and in films. You scream, "For Christsake! That should be sticking to their pants!" and "Lookit, it's not melting!
Someone accidently stepped on your foot. You apologize.
You stepped on someone's foot. You apologize, then apologize for making them apologize.
You know Casey and Finnegan are NOT a Celtic rock band or imported beer.

This is funny...it's a quote from "politicians"
Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain.
Pierre Trudeau
LOL the Acid rain made me laugh..and the cold fronts...Americans are always blaming us for their cold weather.

Speaking of snowsuits and trick or treating - does anyone remember those terrible Halloween masks which were plastic and had 2 holes for the eyes? The back had an elastic which was stapled to either end. The elastic would always break!
