You know your in Canada when you get the urge to go fishing and it takes six hours just to cut a hole in the ice big enough to get your boat in.
You know your in Canada when your teenager asks for a ski-doo instead of a car 'cause although you can't make out in the back seat of a ski-do at least you can get to the date with one.
You know your in Canada when each of your neighbors has an uncle who once went out to shovel the driveway and has never been seen again.
You know your from Canada when you take a vacation down to the US and you remark to your wife, "Look honey they have trees, and they come in GREEN!"
I knew I'd been in Canada too long when my brother commented, "If'n ya don'd mine me sa'yn, y'all talk funny nowadays."

You know your in Canada when your Neighbour has sent you a cheque instead of paying you in colourful cash. (American translation... your neighbor sent you a check instead of colorful cash)

Does it make me a bad Canadian in that I don't like Timmies coffee or donuts, nor do I drink beer?
Calgary Transit throws a huge "staff appreciation" party every April, and those who can't attend because they're out on the road get gift certificates from Tim Horton's. I still have mine from last year.

Not alone. Can't stand the coffee at Tim's. The other two are fine, though...
