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.

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.
