For My Canadian Friends......

Benggolf · 10-12-2009, 02:32 AM

You know you're from Canada when...

You only know three spices: salt, pepper and ketchup.
You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at Christmas.
You've taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.
You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.
The local paper covers national and international headlines on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.
You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
You find -40c a little chilly.
The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freeze.
You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry and your Sorels.
You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.
You perk up when you hear the theme from "Hockey Night in Canada".

Works for Alaska too...loved going out to a play or show in the middle of winter and seeing the interesting outfits...everything from coveralls to tuxes!

Happy Thanksgiving, Tideland Prius and all you other Canucks!

I can't believe the OP is admitting that he has Canadian friends.

Some of us south of 49N have them too.

Though I must admit, half of my use of them has been north of that line.

I've had boots very similar to Sorels before... and that was back when i was in Ohio!

What about

- You're proud about your cross-country highway even though it only has 1 lane each way at certain parts of the country?

Oh and I got this off another forum

Which is the real cross-Canada highway -- Highway 1, or I-90?
