Things Only Canadians Do...

Uh, oh...we're getting out Wikipedia! Article kinda makes my point tho--at least for us Canucks.
OK, this from Reader's Digest:
Cold as Mars
If you’ve ever had to chisel your car out of a block of ice on your way to work or wear a thermal nose-warmer, you know Canada can get pretty cold in the winter. The average low for the month of January in Ottawa, Ont. is -14.4 C (6.1 F). That’s pretty cold. However, a temperature recorded in 1947 in Snag, Yukon makes the rest of Canada’s winter weather seem like a beach vacation. A temperature of -63 C (-81.4 F) was recorded in the small village of Snag on Feb. 3, 1947. That’s roughly the same temperature as the surface of Mars.

Geez. that's pretty good...how'd a Texan manage to nail a Newfie accent??
If you go far enough south, it's called "coke", as in: "You want a coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Root beer."
I have a harder time getting back in the US than getting into... Well, anywhere really.
