You Know You're Canadian When:

You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.

The local paper covers national and international headlines on two pages, but requires six pages for hockey.

The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars, and drink pop, not soda.

You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing u's from labor, honor, and color.

You know how to say free, prize and no sugar added in French thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.

You know what a toque is.

You've plugged a car in overnight.

You've defended your property from trespassers with a lacrosse stick because you don't own a gun.

Sorry for the double posting... no idea what happened. Seriously. I suppose Canadians (well, almost Canadians...) are also not the smartest people on earth .

A zamboni is the common name for the thing that you see driving round the ice during the breaks between periods. Zamboni is a trademark of Frank J. Zamboni & Co. Inc., the company founded by the man who invented the Zamboni in 1942 (afaik). The actual name for the machine is an ice resurfacer.
