Things Only Canadians Do...

I don't know about elsewhere in Canada but where I live they banned lawn weed killers like 'Weed 'n Feed' and such.
Now our lawn looks like crap no matter what we do to it.
Quite a few people in our area are just ripping up their lawns and putting in gravel etc for the same reason.

I think you meant to post this in the American thread, as a perfect example of a thing only an American would do.
Because you are either one, or just displaying our typical self-effacing sense of humour.
Yes!!! Lmao
Can't remember to conversation, but I said something to my American gf about a bag of milk, and she says "bag of milk? You mean an udder?" Lol
I remember being in Chicago once with a friend, seeing some of his family friends. We ended up showing them our money, and I explained to them about the historical significance of the five dollar bill - how it has children playing hockey on a lake is a tribute to the summertime hockey camps that were mandatory for all children until the patriation of our constitution in 1982. Every summer all people under 18 years of age had to attend hockey camps every summer to train for the olympic and NHL teams, which were the best jobs in Canada at the time, all others paid about as well as working at a Timmy's, which is like Canadian McDonald's.
This practice was abolished in 1982, as it was deemed unconstitutional.

Aside from the US national anthem, O Canada is the only national anthem that I know all of the words to.
I am particularly moved by the part that goes ...With da da hearts, we da da dah, the true north strong and free, da da da da dah, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee...
Edit: Dammit, I lied. I know God Save the Queen. Oh well. O Canada is more fun to sing. God Save the Queen almost never starts a hockey game.

My wife and I like to feel very civilized by drinking a small glass of Goslings rum and eating high percentage chocolate. No need for mixers, ice, or sugar. Goslings makes every other rum taste like rot gut now that I have got used to it.Called a "Dark and Stormy" in Bermuda.....Gosling's dark rum with ginger beer.....My tipple of choice!
Alas, we are not Canadian. I'm American and she's a naturalized American from London. Two people separated by a common language.
Lol, I feel the same about my American girlfriend.
Man, now I've got to try that Goslings.
I love good Rum but can't stand Gosling. To me it seems to have a hint of banana. Oh well, more for you guys!
Zacapa or a higher end Flor de Cana for me. But I digress.
Canadians wear toques!

Says a guy from Albany...No TRUE Canadian would write that
Any way--who else measures distance in time.
"How far is it?"
"About 30 minutes."
