Happy Canada Day
Most people who read this know I love anything that says "Canada" - I'm proud of where I was born and raised and where I live. I take every opportunity to tell people about Canada. The people in Puerto Vallarta love Canadians - we are much more polite than the Americans they say. We used to live in the country and we wouldn't dream of passing another vehicle and not waving - it didn't matter if you knew them or not - you just did it. You're Probably A Canadian If:
You only know three spices - salt, pepper and ketchup.
You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
You have more miles on your snowblower than your car.
You have 10 favourite recipes for moose meat.
You live in a house that has no front step, yet the door is one meter above the ground.
You've taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard.
You think driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.
You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.
You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car.
Your local paper covers national and international headlines on 1/4 page, but requires 6 pages for sports.
Your most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun.
Your snowblower gets stuck on the roof.
You think the start of moose season is a national holiday.
You head south to go to your cottage.
You frequently clean grease off your barbeque so the bears won't prowl on your deck.
You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
You find -40C a little chilly.
The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.
You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry and your Sorels.
You can play road hockey on skates.
You know 4 seasons - Winter, Still Winter, almost Winter and Construction.
Your municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.
You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your Northern friends.
Bragging Rights
We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone, short-wave radios, and Superman.
The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the world's oldest company.
We have the largest English-speaking population that never, ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.
HAVE AN AWESOME CANADA DAY AND BE PROUD TO LIVE HERE! I KNOW I AM!
