Default You might be a Canadian if......

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

You think -10 C is mild weather.

You have twins named Wayne and Gretzky (alternately Gordie and Howe).

You substitute beer for water when cooking.

You carry empty beer cans from your camping trips home with you in your backpack so you can recycle them when you reach civilization.

You die a little inside if you can't get your Tim's double-double every morning.

Someone accidently stepped on your foot. You apologize.

You find it difficult to explain "milk in a bag" to non-Canadians, and even more difficult to describe the "snippy-thing" used on bag corners.

Your Saturday nights in the Atlantic provinces include eating beans and brown bread as you watch Hockey Night in Canada.

You understand the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

You drink Pop, not Soda.

You know that a Mickey and 24's mean, "party at the camp, eh!!!"

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

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

You owe more money on your snowmobile than on your car.

Never been to little america but growing up in the northwest I imagine that milk in a bag is the milk cartons. [sm=americanasmiley.gif]

[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif] now, the thing dropped on the couch - fries smothered in gravy and cheese (personally I've never had it - but a lot of people really love it)

I use beer every now and then when cooking (not too often though, cause I'd rather drink it!!!) Its really good in pizza dough and Kraft Dinner (but we substituted the milk with beer - it tasted good at the time, but I had a few too many beer prior to that!)

We can buy our milk in plastic bags here - I noticed that they don't have that in Alabama.

And if you had a double-double from Tim's you'd be hooked!!! Tim's is Tim Horton's which in my humble opinion has the best coffee you can buy! And yes, I can't stand not having my Tim's double - double every morning!

Almost forgot - we are redneck's up here! Did the girl you used to date tell you about Newfie's!

Canadian Tire money is freakin awesome!!! Whenever you buy something at that place, they give you some CT money (its really just like monopoly money!). But they treat it just like regular money - so you kind of get stuff for free, eh!

C'mon now - I really want to explain how we measure our temperature!!!
