How to Tell You're in Canada...
Everything is labelled in English and French.
Everything is measured in metric. (No, the temperature does not drop fifty degrees when you cross the border, and the speed limit doesn't double.)
People give distances in times, not...

- Holy god does Edmonton have alot of Tim Horton's. There are literally two Tim Horton's on the same block right across the street from where I work.
Also as is always true with such lists, not everything on it applies to all Canadians. Also some information is outdated, I'm pretty sure Robins is completely dead in Alberta and probably all of western Canada.

- "Most Canadians will tell you that the last letter of the alphabet is pronounced "zed." Sharon, Lois, and Bram, popular children's entertainers, make it a point in their performances of "The Alphabet Song" to say "zed" instead of "zee."

- When you step on someone's foot, he apologizes. So true. We have a reputation for being polite, eh?

- From the page: "There is no mail delivered on Saturdays."
Or Sundays.
Some of these are spot on, some are the old stereotypes that I've yet to see in real life. It's good for a chuckle anyhow.

- From the page: "These banks are national and have branches all over the country. One sure sign you're in Canada: the federal government has blocked two big bank mergers (the TD wanted to merge with CIBC, and BMo wanted to merge with the Royal), ostensibly because reduced competition is bad for Canadians. Wow."
Isn't that the truth. Bigger banks=less competition=more chances of getting fucked over or getting shittier service.
THANK YOU CANADA

- The number of Tim Horton's most certainly does not diminish as you head west. Unless the east manages to have more than one TH on every block, but I doubt it.

- to Storyteller, as it's been over two years since your comment, I'm hoping you're already here, so yes we do. While obviously being over two years old the information is surprisingly accurate
