You know you're from Canada if...

*You understand the phrase, "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine on the chesterfield."
*You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.
*You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars.
*You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
*You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
*You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.
*You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
*You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians.
*You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!
*You know what a touque 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.
*Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some.
*There's German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food.
*You like the Americans a little because they don't want Quebec either.
*Contests run by anyone other than the government have "skill-testing questions" that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize.

Of course, I just copied this list from somewhere--not sure if it applies to all Canadians!
