You know you're a Canadian...

Post by Kelly Antilles »

You Know You're Canadian When:

You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

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

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

The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars, and drink pop, not soda.

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

You know how to say free, prize and no sugar added in French thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.

You know what a toque is.

You've plugged a car in overnight.

You've defended your property from trespassers with a lacrosse stick because you don't own a gun.

I was the KING of cardboard box outfits...warm...and fun! I went out for three years as differing fictional boxes of cereal (I'm NOT kidding, it was a box with arm and leg flaps and the bottom cut out, painted creatively).
You've defended your property from trespassers with a lacrosse stick because you don't own a gun.
This will surprise the HELL out of you, but I know a LOT more Canadians with guns than Americans with guns. Two of my neighbours, my father in law, my uncles, my father, and a couple of friends, etc., all own or owned rifles (hunting/target shooting) at some point. Never pistols or bizarre machine guns or collectables, though. Then again, my father grew up on a farm in Newcastle, Ontario.

What else would you call it? :P

Go to the west coast and they don't know about a thing about car plugs either.

You like to taunt the horny Americans with tales of your "exploits."

Or maybe that's just those Toronto loonies.

If it was cold, I just froze. Winter clothing wasn't "cool" in high school, so unless your head would literally turn into a block of ice, we'd all stand around freezing with nothing but a jacket on.

Well ya, a town big enough for a bus is going to need the Zamboni to keep up with hockey needs. My town has a Zamboni but no bus :)

I just like changing specter to spectre because the later looks cooler.

HAHAHAHAHA! So true. Some of those apply for me, and I can tell you the Detroit area has fucking SWISS CHEESE for roads and when a heavy snow comes, there's nothing quite like the smoooooth ride.

Note to Americans: This is largely responsible for the creation of Jim Carrey. Many Canadians did not, in fact, freeze their brains for the sake of looking cool, and went on to have real jobs.

Tell me about it. Bags...who the fuck puts milk in a bag? If cows knew what was going on, they'd go down to your house and trample you 'til you went out and bought some real milk.

I don't know about the east coast, but actually, west of Ontario, no one uses bags for milk.

They do that in Russia, too. I don't see a problem there, though.

Have a very nice day.

Here in Calgary, in winter (and sometimes in summer) the snow sometimes gets so high, that even after it's compacted it's at the same level as the curb. You don't know where the road starts, or where it ends.

That would only work in Toronto. If you try that in Calgary, it starts raining.

And now the mandatory drooling that happens everytime after jmac says something like that. Image
