1. Man, I am SO Canadian ignorant

I didn't get ANYTHING x(

[Mr. Blonde]

2. Some of these are not limited to Canada

Obviously of course, but this one "You drink pop, not soda." is somewhat common here in Oklahoma Pretty far from Canada.

Of course when we see 6 point beer we get pretty pumped up. Damn Puritans and there 3 point.

[HEyHEY]

3. Yeah, there is a myth in Canada that only we say pop

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

4. OOh. I must be Canadian, eh?

I got a lot of those. ESPECIALLY SHARON LOIS AND BRAM. They were my favourites! :)

[yvr girl]

5. LMFAO

You understand the sentence, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine on the chesterfield ."

[mzmolly]

6. Minnesotans say "pop" also, I never knew it was a Canadian thing.

;)

Do you say "hotdish" instead of "caserole" too? ;)

How bout "you betcha" ?

[HEyHEY]

8. "You betcha" isn't universal?

We say it here

[mzmolly]

9. No, it's unique.

:hi:

In fact when I spoke to people all over the US in my line of work people would say "you must be from Minnesota" ? They didn't say "you must be from the Mid-West" they specifically knew I was a Minnesoootan.

;)

They said I had a Minnesota accent. :shrug:

7. How about this one for older Canadians

You know that the Cinnamon Bear is not candy.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. Cinnamon Bear

For some reason, it has become a tradition in Portland.

I used to volunteer for the radio station that first broadcast it in the late 1930s, and every year, starting about this time, people would start calling up and asking when The Cinnamon Bear was going to start.

I truly think that if the station had decided not to broadcast it, there would have been riots outside the station.

[eleny]

18. It's also available on the net for download

Or at least it was last xmas.

[DrWeird]

10. Dude. Casey and Finnegan.

I got about a third of the way through your list and started trying to think of my own, I came up with "you know Casey and Finnegan aren't some folk musicians."

That's downright spooky. Does this mean I have joint citizenship now?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. I'm not Canadian, but...

I can do all the hand actions to Sharon, Lois and Bram's "Skin-a-ma-rinky-dinky-doo" opus. I watched it on Nickelodeon as a child.

[HEyHEY]

13. I just heard a good Canadian joke on TV.....

How do you get 30 Canadians out of a pool on a hot July day?



Say: Could you please get out of the pool

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Cool! Wisconsin also says "pop". I have two questions for you:

What is "Canadian Tire money"

And what kind of passports do you get? Are they still passports from Britain (or the United Kingdom, or whatever they're calling it nowadays)?

[HEyHEY]

15. Canadian Tire is a store - kinda like...... Wal-mart

And every time you buy something there they give you Canadian Tire money. And you can save up and buy stuff in the store.

We get Canadian Passports

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Don't forget a most important one: Your IQ is higher than the rest of NA

AND you are better educated AND you know more United States history than any US citizen of your own age or up to 5 years younger than you or more. AND you can name the president/leader, as well as most of their staff, of more than one country and know how to pronounce their names properly and have a pretty good general idea of how their government functions and how they relate to Canada and the rest of the world.
