Signs you may be a Canadian
May 23, 2008, 03:20:03 PM
As the resident Canadian, I feel obligated to tell you these:

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

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

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

    4. You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars.

    5. You drink pop, not soda.

    6. You know what it means to be on 'pogey'.

    7. You know that "a mickey" and "2-4's" mean "Party at the cabin eh!!"

    8. You don't hold your hand on your breast when you sing the national anthem.

    9. You can drink legally while still a 'teen'.

    10. You know that francophones, anglophones and allophones are not electronic devices.

    11. You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike.

    12. You don't know or care about the fuss with Cuba, it's just a cheap place to travel to and has good cigars.

    13. When there is a social problem, you turn to your government to fix it instead of telling them to stay out of it.

    14. You're not sure if the leader of our nation has EVER had sex and don't want to know if he has!

    15. You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

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

    17. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

    18. You sit on a couch not a chesterfield - because Chesterfield is a small town in Quebec.

    19. You know what a Robertson screwdriver is.

    20. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

    21. You know that Thrills are something to chew and "taste like soap".

    22. You know that Mounties "don't always look like that."

    23 You know that Canada is the only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground.

    24. You voted for a political leader who admitted to smoking pot.

    25. You understand that having an extension cord on your car does not mean that it's electric.

    26. You read rather than scanned this list.

I like Canada, it is one of the few places, perhaps Oz being another, that I think I could live in and love.

I might be 90% Canadian going by that list

Allthough we have Autoctones and Alloctones
The autoctones are Walloon or Flemish or German reacquired after the second worldwar

Where I am going I ain't certain
Where I am going I don't know
All I know is that I'am on my way
