Having a great Canadian time!

The weekend is supposed to be warm and sunny, though! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

You Know You're Canadian When:


You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.

The local paper covers national and international headlines on two pages, but requires six pages for hockey.

The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars, and drink pop, not soda.

You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing u's from labor, honor, and color.

You know how to say free, prize and no sugar added in French thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.

You know what a toque is.

You've plugged a car in overnight.

You've defended your property from trespassers with a lacrosse stick because you don't own a gun.

'candy bars' is a rediculous name. there made out of, generally, chocalate, caramel, and nuts. sometimes, there may be wafer's of some sort inside. but there definitly not candy.

The guns per capita here are about 25% vs 75% in the US. It's about 20% vs 50% for typically firearms and, here is where there is a really big difference, about 5% in Canada have handguns and 20% have handguns in the US. Overall, US owns about 3x the guns per person as we do here.
