You know Your Canadian if.....

leafed in Fun

    You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars.
    You drink pop, not soda.
    You had a Prime Minister who wasn't fluent in either of the official languages (English & French).
    You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike.
    You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

    Pike is a type of fish, not some part of a highway.
    You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
    You know what a Robertson screwdriver is.
    You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
    You know that Mounties "don't always look like that."

    You know that the Friendly Giant isn't a vegetable product line.
    You know that Casey and Finnegan are not a Celtic musical group.
    You drive with your headlights on during the day (since 1989, all new cars have been fitted with "daytime running lights").
    You wonder why there isn't a 5 dollar coin yet.
    You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing 'u's from labor, honor, color. etc.

    You know the French equivalents of "free", "prize", and "no sugar added", thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.
    You know what a touque is and you own one and often wear it.
    You have heard of ... and have some cherished momento of Bob and Doug McKenzie.
    You know Toronto is NOT a province.
    You never miss "Coach's Corner" during Hockey Night in Canada.

    Back bacon and Kraft Dinner are two of your favourite food groups.
    If you live in some of the colder Canadian provinces, your car has a cord and plug sticking out of the grill ... it's a block heater for those sub-zero (in Celsius) days.
    You only know three spices: salt, pepper and ketchup.
    The mosquitoes have landing lights.

    You have more kilometres on your snow blower than your car.
    Canadian Tire Store on any Saturday is busier than most toy stores at Christmas.
    Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with frozen snow and slush.
    The local paper covers national and international headlines on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.
    You find -40C a little chilly.

    The trunk of your car doubles as a portable deep freeze.
    You can play road hockey on skates.
    The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.
    You pronounce the last letter of the alphabet "zed" instead of "zee."and ...
    You end some sentences with "eh," ... eh?

I saw this on  forum I belong too, I thought it fit me to a T! If it needs credit, please let me know. thanks

This is kind of like living in the south. You drink "coke" no matter what kind of soft drink it is!
