You might be a Canadian if....

  • You stand in "line-ups" at the movie, not lines.
  • You know Toronto is not a province.
  • You understand the phrase, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine. "
  • You drink pop, not soda.
  • You know what it means to be on pogey.
  • You know that a mickey and 2-4's mean "Party at the camp, eh!!"
  • 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.
  • You know that Thrills are something to chew and "taste like soap".
  • You know that Mounties "don't always look like that"
  • You know that Casey and Finnegan are not a Celtic musical group.
  • Unlike any international assassin/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 are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

LOL I Know they always make me chuckle too. Reminds me of home. *sigh*. "Pogey" is an Unemployment Insurance CHEQUE (hehe) and "Thrills" is a gum that is packaged and looks like chicklets, only they are purple and taste exactly like soap. Canadian kids love em :)

I thought this might help clear up any other misunderstands between American and Canadian cultures.
