You're Canadian when...

[quotealex]

You understand the phrase, "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine."

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

You drink "soft drinks", not "soda".

You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars.

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You apologize to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians, but Americans forget to apologize for George Bush, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton.

You know that the C.E.O of American Airlines is a Canadian!

You know what a tuque is.

You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee".

You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.

You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan."

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

You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

"Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?"

Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some.

There's German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food.


Contests run by anyone other than the government have "skill-testing questions" that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize.

Everything is labeled in English and French.

Milk comes in plastic bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

Mountain Dew has no caffeine.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada.

Not always, there are certain exceptions. For one, I can't see it ever sounding right calling the band "Zed-Zed Top", it's definitely ZEE.

Fries, cheese and gravy - I could get into that!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine

Poutine Recipe

• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 1 (10.25 ounce) can beef gravy
• 5 medium potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 cups cheese curds

DIRECTIONS:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). While the oil is heating, you can begin to warm your gravy.
• Place the fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, about 5 minutes. Make the fries in batches if necessary to allow them room to move a little in the oil. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Place the fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle the cheese over them. Ladle gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.

my dearest rochard - New York Fries serves a pretty nice version of this - I hope they have it in the USA. its an awesome dish, and I travelled up to quebec many times just to have an original taste every now and then.

one thing is that I battle down here with the actual way of saying it.

canada - (poo - teen)
quebec - (poo - t - sin)

same as the province is actually named in sound - (k - beck) NOT (qw - beck)

remember sitting at a drive thru fighting with someone on that issue

[lulu]

Rob, you always manage to crack me up.

pout - sin. lol so true. as a resident of la belle province, thank you for clarifying that its kebec and not kwebec. its drives me nuts.

does the fact that my car hasn't started since tuesday 'cause of the deep freeze; is stuck behind a snow bank, on the wrong side of the street, which i have to move before the snow plows go by tonight constitute as being canadian? fuck ya!

what was that about being canadians being pussies?

Oh come on Cynd, it's Chille cheese fries... only different

[CCDoug]

Poutine is the absolute best! New york Fries comes nowhere close to getting it right.

In Montreal there used to be a small pizza place on du maisonneuve called 'Angelas' which had the hottest take out poutines..... I wonder if it's still there?

[Trouble Tonya]

That actually looks realllly good! I'd eat it. Bring on the poutine...hehehe, that kinda sounded like pun tang... BRING THAT ON TOO!!! ha hahaha

[glad2beme]

what the hell is Saskatchewan and Tuque?
