You know you're in Canada when...

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)

But Americans don't have colo(u)rful cash, do they?

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.

Are you sure you're not really a space alien?!?

Very possible. I don't like hockey (or most any sport, for that matter), either.

Maybe I should hand in my citizenship.

I know I've said it before...but I just can't say it enough...

PLEASE tell them to open a Tim Horton's here in Chicago.

We have a Del Taco now...and it's relatively near my house. Need a Tin Horton's....I understand that Wendy's and Tim Horton's are now owned by the same company...howsaboutit?

Best

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