I think many of these also apply to Americans, at least those of us who live along the border anyway. The one about speeding on the highway is most definitely true, however. An American driving on the QEW is taking his life in his hands.

I do know one thing for certain – if you ask for directions in Canada and the tell you to "go straight past the Tim Hortons ‘bout a kilometer, eh? Then turn left at the Tim Hortons, eh? Keep going past two more Tim Hortons and then turn right at the Tim Hortons, eh?" You’ll find the place down the road aways, across the street from the Tim Hortons, eh?" Well, let me just say, you are most definitely in Canada.

You forgot:
If you look through your old High School year books to see how many filled in "Hockey" for what they aspire to be
