You Know You're Canadian When…

[TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689]

You stand in "line-ups" at the movie, not lines.

You understand the sentence, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine."

You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars.

You drink pop, not soda. If an American says, "soda," We’ll say, “you mean pop?” And then we'll creepily stare at you until you call it ‘pop’.

You can drink legally while still a teen.

You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike.

You don't know or care about the fuss with Cuba, it's just a cheap place to travel with good cigars and no Americans.

When there is a social problem, you turn to your government to fix it instead of telling them to stay out of it.

You're not sure if the leader of your nation has EVER had sex and you really don't want to know if he has!

You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You know that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) don't always look like that.

You dismiss all beers under 6% as "for children and the elderly."

You know that the Friendly Giant isn't a vegetable product line.

You have an Inuit carving by your bedside with the rationale, "What's good enough protection for the Prime Minister is good enough for me."

You wonder why there isn't a 5 dollar coin yet.

Unlike any international assasin/terrorist/spy in the world, you don't possess a Canadian passport.

You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing 'u's from labor, honor, and color.

You know the French equivalents of "free", "prize", and "no sugar added", thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.

You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You make a mental note to talk about it at work the next day.

You can eat more than one maple sugar candy without feeling nauseous.

You were mad when "The Beachcombers" were taken off the air.

You know what a tuque is.

You know Toronto is not a province.

Back bacon and Kraft Dinner are two of your favorites food groups.

You automatically read 'Z' as 'Zed' and don't give a damn that it doesn't rhyme with "now I know my abcs".

You bring a portable TV on a camping trip so that you don't miss Hockey Night.

You can repeat the entire Molson's Canadian 'The Rant'.

You know all the words to "If I had a million dollars" by The Barenaked Ladies, including the inter-stanza banter between Steven and Ed.

You can sing "O' Canada" in French and actually know what the words mean.

Your backpack has more than one Canadian flag iron-on (and you always have room for more).

You actually watch The Gemini Awards, The Genie Awards, and The Juno Awards.

You think -10 C is mild weather.

You know the ingredients for poutine.

You die a little inside if you can't get your Tim Hortons' 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! That's *so* not snow!" when watching 'Winter' scenes.

Someone accidently stepped on your foot. You apologize.

You stepped on someone's foot. You apologize, then apologize for making them apologize.

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

You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!

You know that the four seasons means: almost winter, winter, post winter, and road work/construction.

You know that when it's 25 degrees outside, it's a warm day.

You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan."

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

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

You've ever had your tongue frozen to something.

You find -40C a little chilly.

You spit angrily when Americans say "ruff" instead of the correct "roof".

When abroad, you have a cold fear that somebody might mistake you for an American. You make a point of deliberately being kind to locals just to make it clear you are a Canadian.

You read rather than scanned this list.

 

This brings back memories…

[baylaust 2,531]

Toronto isn't a province?

 

My whole life has been a lie.

[FireRubies1 1,325]

Owo.

What's a candy bar?

[King Riku 2,063]

You read rather than scanned this list.

 

I actually did read that list.

Of course, I AM bored, sooooo...

Don't every single one of these points describe you perfectly and because of that, you are now scared for your life?

[teh lazy prince Xylek 1,559]

well that summed me up pretty good

Mmm...nope, I guess I'm not Canadian. That solves that mystery. ouo

I live in Maine. (Close enough.)

[TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689]

 

 

It's almost as if you knew what I was thinking.

 

The quota isn't feeling very patriotic today. Tsk, tsk.

[FireRubies1 1,325]

Everything having to do with climate is me

Have you ever heard of Italian poutine?

It's not actually Italian.... just evil

[Noobles 301]

haha. Ironically I looked at the last one on the list.

Dang, I'm not Canadian

YOU'VE NEVER HAD POUTINE!? A TRAVESTY!

[FireRubies1 1,325]

YOU'VE NEVER HAD POUTINE!? A TRAVESTY!

 

uwu never

[TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689]

uwu never

 

I will cry for you. It's really good stuff. I hope you have some one day.

[Oishii 3,987]

You know the ingredients for poutine.

I've seen poutine in America, but they called them gravy fries. I think it's just a Southern thing, but, eh, great minds think alike I've also seen sweet potato fries with maple syrup on them. That had to have some Canadian inspiration in there.

 

When abroad, you have a cold fear that somebody might mistake you for an American. You make a point of deliberately being kind to locals just to make it clear you are a Canadian.

 

I've read a survey done of hotel and resort workers around the world rating the politeness of different nationalities, and America was among the top along with Australians and Japanese (Canada may have been there too. It was a while since I've read it).

[VisitJoan 2,713]

The seasons thing also applies to Chicago.

[Think Pink 1,967]

some of this actually applies to Americans too, Gennyboo

 

ho shit I'm like 1/12 canadian //suicide

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME AND I WAS YOUR FIRST HUSBANDO //goesintoacornertocry

[DragonMaster 1,166]

You spit angrily when Americans say "ruff" instead of the correct "roof".

 

Coming from an American, this annoys the living heck outta me. I flinch whenever someone pronounces it that way. Even worse is when someone says "rut" instead of "root".
