Canada You know you're Canadian if...

Lets see...

You know you're Canadian if:

1. When it's -30 outside you only wear a light sweater

Anyone want to carry on the list?

 

Actually, that more accuratly describes northerners and flatlanders.

Like your sig. Thought mine was original. lol

 

Ya, I love that quote (hope you don't mind me using it).

Okay I found this on the net yesterday.
You're Canadian if you can understand this sentence:

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

 

Does this mean I'm not a CDN? I'm having difficulty with that sentance.

Please pass a napkin, because you dropped your fries and gravy on the couch?

 

That would be the correct translation, although fries with cheese curd and gravy is more exact.

A-B-C-D-E-F-G
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Q-R-S T-U-V
W-X-Y and Zed
Now I know my alphabet
When it's sung and when it's said!

*Derisa

 

It's Zed?

Darn. I use Zee. I'll try to remember to convert.

That is so true. Usually in Winnipeg it snows on Halloween but everyone is running around with their jackets undone because it gets so hot when your wearing a costume on top of winter gear. Ahh memories

 

Snow on halloween is a common thing in Quebec. I remember one Halloween, I was about 5 and my costume was Superman's. I was the only kid with "real" muscles hehe, no fair, I had my winter coat under my cape

 

I've never experienced snow on Halloween, as far as I can remember.

 

Snow is like a tradition on Halloween. All the little kids run around soaking wet and I come home with my Jedi robe totally drenched (except I have a really bad robe so I don't care...need to figure out how to make a real one, or buy one)

 

Beeing an house of horror designer I hate snow at halloween, but I can always deal with it.

 

YJN's post was taken from the Niagara board (well, he might have gotten the email), but I sent the email to Launch and she posted it! lol

Tis a funny email.

Does anybody like "Spirit of the West"?

 

"You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best, I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left. These so-called vacations will soon be my death..."

 

If you know what beer is!!
that's right you know that because your beer tastes good and it has as high alcool percentage.

sorry for those of us who are not yet 18..

Oh yeah in Canada you can drink at 18

 

19 in BC.

BC is way too conservative with legal ages. I mean, age of majority = 19? What's up with that!?

 

That's a good list JediYoungNiagra. lol

 

"I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest. TAKE ME HOME!!!"

Speaking of bands, "You know you're Canadian if..." you remember Nickelback when they were "one of those local bands who really deserved a break".





Oh, right!
*pulls out accordian, joins in again*

Euston Station the train journey north/
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth/
Past odd crooked dykes/
Through Yorkshire's green fields/
We were flung into dance/
As the train jigged and reeled...
