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.

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."

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?
