If the owner keeps it at his hoooouuuuuuse?

If it has Zeds in it's model number instead of zeros?

Before you flame me, I like Canada and Canadians. And if they want to make fun of my redneck cracker lower Alabama a$$ that's fine; if it's funny I'll laugh along with them.

It smells like maple syrup, likes hockey, and criticizes everything that America does.

If it automatically plays an "A" at the end of each phrase.

And every phrase goes up in intonation toward the end.

Sorry, that's Ontario only, eh!
To the rest of us it sounds like 1980s 'valley speak'.
Wait, oh yeah, Ontario IS Canada, I forgot...

A real Canadian would be too polite to ever flame you. He'd express his disapproval by muttering a little "tsk tsk". Then he'd pop open another Molsons...

It's strap bolts can also be used to open beer, and the BC basses have built in bongs.
