You know you're Canadian if you go to a restaurant and order two eggs and a pair of toast, side-by-each.

Personal observation:
Only in America do they have handicapped shower stalls in the locker room at the ice rink.

Some of Canada must've leaked down here in Portland, because I call it pop, not soda. And a lot of people give me crap for that... go figure. Plus I live in the micro-brew capital of the world, and I too dismiss all weak beer, including all the union made "domestic" piss in a bottle. Nothing like my local brew pubs here. Ever in Portland.. must try the Laurelwood Brewery... the Boss IPA is the best in the world.

12. Only in America.....do people put mobile home parks in line with tornado alley...
13. Only in America.....do people build a large city next to and below a large body of water and then complain when it gets flooded and destroyed...
14. Only in America.....do people build houses at the base of an active volcano, and then consider themselves victims when it erupts...

One of my hockey teammates was from Canada and absolutely hated beavers (the animal kind). He would actually get angry when talking about the furry little critters.
