O' Canada

Today is Canada Day!  EH?


You Might Be Canadian If

  • Your municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus. 
  • You bring a portable TV on a camping trip so that you don't miss Hockey Night. 
  • You can repeat the entire Molson's Canadian 'The Rant'. 
  • You dismiss all beers under 6% as "for children and the elderly." 
  • You can sing "O' Canada" in French and actually know what the words mean.  
  • You know more than 3 guys named Gordon. 
  • You have twins named Wayne and Gretzky (alternately Gordie and Howe). 
  • You substitute beer for water when cooking. 
  • You know what "Canuba" is.   
  • You pity people who haven't tasted a "beavertail". 
  • You brag to Americans: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion & more, are Canadians. 
  • You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed".
  • You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan". 
  • You have worn shorts and a parka at the same time .
  • You are in grade 12, not the 12th grade. 
  • You owe more money on your snowmobile than on your car. 
  • At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles a meat processing plant. 
  • You think the start of deer season is a national holiday. 
  • You know which leaves make for good toilet paper. 
  • The trunk of your car doubles as a freezer. 
  • You can play road hockey on skates. 
  • If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May.
  • If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number.
  • If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
  • You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
  • "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more polite
  • than, "Huh?"

  17. Hmmm...WE call the last letter of the alphabet "zed" too AND WE also call the 12th grade, grade 12! Does that mean we're part Canadian?????

  20. The Canadians I have known don't pronounce the letter H or the Hhhh sound. Like 'honey' would start off with the 'Hhhh' sound but when they say the word sounds like oney. I worked with a women from Canada an she married a Henry Higgins but she said Enry Iggins. But we here in Naty say things differently also.
