Some Canadian Distinctives

  • "Eh" is our word
  • Our flag is prettier
  • We're famous for our blueberries
  • At least we know what a moose looks like
  • Maple syrup from Canada is the best
  • Cold is our specialty
  • Ontario mosquitoes are known for their bird-like size
  • Only in Calgary can you wear a t-shirt in the morning but need a parka in the afternoon
  • Who else can call themselves such a cool slang word as "canuck"?
  • Beware : we know your history better than you do
  • Guess how many little tiny states we can fit in one province ;)
  • Don't make fun of our military size, it is to demonstrate what a peace-loving nation we are
  • Multicultural? Visit Vancouver or Toronto

edited to add:

  • When we throw a fishing line over the side of the boat we actually catch a fish here.
  • We're nice - we visit our neighbors to the south
  • Newfoundland has very own version of the Queen's english
  • In Quebec, French comes first on any sign

1. Why would we want to say "eh" when Jed Clampett gave us "Well, doggies!"

2. A maple leaf prettier than the many colored American flag? Eh, come again?

3. Never heard of Canadian blueberries!

4. I know what a moose looks like too!

5. Send me some Canadian maple syrup and we'll see!

6. Mosquitoes are not exactly something to be bragging about!

7. Only in Calgary? Did Calgary get transferred into Arkansas by chance?

8. Who wants "Canuck" when one can themselves a "redneck." Has anyone made it big with a saying "You Might Be A Canuck?" Nuff said!

9. You know our history better? If, and it's a big if, you do it's only because you know we're going to be annexing y'all. Or is it that you can't find a Canuck guy that'll put up with ya, so you're going to try to impress an American guy with your knowledge? I'm gonna laugh the day you become an American citizen!

10. You call them states, we call the counties!

11. What military?

12. Multicultural? Just come on down to the South, Hannah, dear!

....this american could use more education about Canada.

Yes, he could and he will attempt to learn it. I tease Hannah about being Canadian, but I know she's just as proud of her heritage as I am of mine!
