You know you're in Canada when...

[Canuck]

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)

You know you're in Canada when your neighbour is "oot and aboot."

Back in May and June of 1995 I spent 29 days canoeing the boundary waters between Minnesota and Canada and I have to admit that I didn't know when I was in Canada and when I was back in Minnesota while portaging from lake to lake...does that make me dense?

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."

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything or it would have been on the monitor!

Kilted Knight, I spent three months back in '71 guiding groups of kids through the boundry waters canoe area. I too kept looking for the painted line that would tell me when we crossed into Canada.
So, no, your not dense, just lost.

You know you're in Canada when your neighbour is "oot and aboot."

Yes, and in the States you'd climb up on the 'Ruf' to see where he was.

You know you're Canadian when...

You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.

You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada.

Mountain Dew has no caffeine.

[SnakeEyes]

Mountain Dew has no caffeine.

It does roun' these parts, cowboy.

You're right about the hockey night in Canada song though... someone had that as their ringtone and I totally forgot what I was doing when their phone rang. I was like "Wha? Hockey? Where?"

[McMurdo]

Ok I stand corrected you know you're in Ontario when Mountain Dew has no caffeine, and it costs more cause of the GST/PST

Sorry but there had to be at least one "eh" reference here.
