you know you're a canadian when...
1. You're not offended by the term "HOMO MILK".
2. You understand the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."
3. You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.
4. You drink Pop, not Soda.
5. You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean
6. You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars and no Americans.
7. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
8. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
9. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
10. You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.
11. You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
12. You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion & many more, are Canadians.
13. You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!
14. You know what a touque is.
15. You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
16. You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee"
17. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages,but requires 6 pages for hockey.
18. You know that the four seasons mean: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road work.
19. You know that when it's 25 degrees outside, it's a warm day.
20. You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.
21. You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan". (Sas-Kat-chew-wan)
22. You perk up when you hear the theme song from 'Hockey Night in Canada'.
23. You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.
24. "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more polite than,"Huh?"
25. You actually understand these jokes!
ok so some (most) of you won't get these.. but i found them hilarious! :\

I always thought they pronounced it 'Zee' so it would rhyme with the alphabet song!

26. Your basic diet is some crappy pasta with a weak, cheese-flavoured sauce that to anyone with more than three tastebuds, is about as appetising as having your food served with a side salad of ****roaches.

if the yanks are going to speak our language you'd have thought that they would have the common courtesy to actually speak it correctly instead of changing it around to suit themselves. i suppose that's what you get for 'independance'

3.
(6 - But wasn't planning on holidaying there, haven't heard anything about it.)
7.
(8 - I don't drive.)
16.
19.
(21 - Can pronounce it, even though I don't recognize the word from anywhere. Spelt with a c instead of k.)
(24 - Would probably be spelt more like Ãh.)
Are all conditions capable of Canadialization, or only if all conditions have to be met? Or a certain percentage? Would I retain my original citizenship(s)?
