You Know You're Canadian When...

By epicurean

Not to be outdone by the Brits...

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

You're not offended by the term "Homo Milk".

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

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 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!

Pike is a type of fish, not some part of a highway.

You know what a Robertson screwdriver is.

Actually, deepb, it's quite the opposite. Everyone thinks we're American until they realize that we are actually quite polite!
