Default Signs That You May Be Canadian

JUST FOR YOU PICKUP

1.. You stand in "line-ups" at the movie, not lines.
2.. You're not offended by the term, "Homo Milk"
3.. You understand the phrase, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine"
4.. You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars.
5.. You drink pop, not soda.
6.. You know what it means to be "on pogey."
7.. You know that a mickey and 2-4's mean "Party at the camp, eh!!"
8.. You can drink legally while still a teen.
9.. You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike.
10..You don't care about the fuss with Cuba, it's a cheap place to travel with good cigars and no Americans.
11..You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.
12..Pike is a type of fish, not some part of a highway.
13..You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
14..You know what a Robertson screwdriver is.
15..You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
16..Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at Christmas.
17..You know that Thrills are something to chew and "taste like soap".
18..You know that Mounties "don't always look like that".
19..You know that the Friendly Giant isn't a vegetable product line.
20..You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
21..You can do all the hand actions to Sharon, Lois and Bram's "Skin-a-ma-rinky-dinky-doo"
22..You were mad when "The Beachcombers" were taken off the air.
23..You know what a toque is.
24..You admit Rich Little is Canadian and you're glad Jerry Lewis is not.
25..You know Toronto is not a province.
26..You never miss "Coach's Corner".
27..You know all the words to "If I Had a Million Dollars"
28..You know who Ernie Coombs is.
29..You have memorized the Heritage Foundation's Heritage Moments, including your favourites, "I smell burnt toast, Doctor",
30..You spend sleepless nights wondering if Peter Mansbridge and Wendy Mesley will ever find the blissful love they once knew. (This doesn't work because Peter Mansbridge is married to Cynthia Dale-the actress off that stupid Niagra Falls detective show)
31..You wonder why there isn't a 5-dollar coin yet, because you can really use more change (You are already wearing your pants halfway down your ass and the hair and three layers of skin is worn off the front of your thighs from carrying your pocket money around). The new coin should have a picture of a musk-ox on it and be the size of a hamburger patty and have fifteen different kinds of metals in it.
32..You know Ashley MacIssac isn't Celtic enough.
33..Your backpack has only one Canadian flag sew-on.
34..You have been on Speaker's Corner.
35..You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing 'u's from labor, honor, and color.
36..You remember "Jodie" from "Today's Special" and wonder why she reads news on CBC.
37..You know that a "Premier" isn't a baby born a few weeks early.
38..You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
39..You live in a house that has no front step, yet the door is one metre above the ground.
40..The local paper covers national news on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.
41..You know 4 seasons: Winter, Still Winter, almost Winter and Construction.
42..You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.
43..You perk up when you hear the theme from "Hockey Night in Canada"
44..You know who Tim Horton is.
45.."Zed" is the 26th letter of the alphebet

after reading that I fear I might be Canadian.

I have never lived there, but maybe have just visited too much.

Why is it that Toronto seems to have more donut shops per capita than any other city in the world?

Dont forget, you can easily identify Canadians from their beady eyes and bouncing heads

You forgot some.
You obsess over U.S. politics and want to discuss it with everybody from the states you may meet.
You have a superiority complex.
You're very polite and friendly but when it comes time to do some work you can't be found.
You're dying to use your health care.
