You know you're a true Canadian when.........
you drive and drive in the USA and can't figure out where the nearest "Canadian tire" store is and you can't get a cup of coffee because you can't find a Tim Horton's.

You drink Pop, not Soda.
Last year we went on a bandtrip to new hampshire. Whenever we went to a fast food restaurant, we'd ask for "pop" and somone would either says "pardon?" or give a really wierd look. After the first few days tho, we got used to saying soda, except eveyone would crack up laughing whenever they said it. "id like a soda please" haha.-missy

Hey Dottie: good to see you again, I was in stitches reading some of these, because I knew you were transplanted south of the border: cheap entertainment for the locals eh?
My favourite line:
10. You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group. (Yes and I miss them dearly )
I damn near pissed myself when I read that. I think most of us Canuck kids grew up with Casey & Finnegan.
I MISS MR. DRESSUP, who passed away in mid September 2001.
Oh, just some added info. Mr. Rogers (was a great man) and he was instrumental in getting us Mr. Dressup here in Canada. Mr. Rogers and (Ernie Coombs) worked together in Pennsylvania back in the 1950s (Television), and an opportunity arose, which sent Mr. Coombs to Canada, thus we got:
MR. DRESSUP
Same with the "Friendly Giant" whom originated from Wisconsin (Mr. Twomey), another excellent transplanted American. We loved and embraced them.
Shows we are pretty loving, and when we get ourselves a transplanted American: we adopt them, and well.....no wonder they stay.
Dottie, I saw a funny show years ago about Mr. Dressup. It was stuff about Judith Lawrence (puppeteer for Mr. Dressup) and when Ernie had a rough night (had a few ) - Casey would tease Mr. Dressup off camera, about "Hey Mr. Dressup, you had a few too many last night?".
Finnegan, never barked. When I was a little kid, I thought his name was: Vinegar.
Great one Dottie.
Gotta get Will up here, and cover his boots in duct tape, and glue him to the floor with the cheese they use for making *poutine*.
