Try to order a 'Caesar' stateside. Or find a decent cup of coffee in the southwest.
Wait Kinders are illegal in the states? I just...feel so sad for them. No wonder they have such a large military, if they had Kinder they'd be...kinder. Awwwww yea.
Nanaimo bars are hands down the best sweet on earth. I don't like sweets much but put a box of those in front of me I'll eat em till I get sick, get sick, and eat the rest Roman style.

...whenever you hear The Dream Warriors' "My Definition," you know exactly where the chorus music is from and thought that dinner for two was a pretty crappy game show prize even back then.
...You know both the theme to Bob & Doug McKenzie's "Great White North" and Rush's song about it.
...You know, and assuming you are over the age of 30, all of the characters on SCTV.
...You know that Smarties are candy-coated chocolate and Rockets are sweet candy discs usually given out at Halloween.
...You know that Mr. Rogers' pre-neighbourhood debut was in Canada on CBC.
...You're proud of almost all of the Canadian-born actors and artists that made it big in the US. Well, except for Nickelback. Fark Nickelback.
...You haven't even seen a paper dollar in two decades.
...Paying for a checkup at your doctor's is an alien concept.
...You find it strange that other countries don't have milk in bags.
...You know what getting a Timmy's means without any other context.
And...
You might be a Torontonian if you refuse to ever, ever call it anything other than Skydome.

Nanaimo bars are super-great, and I've got a recipe for a variation that uses a peanut butter base layer, which is pretty darn awesome as well.

Congrates on the 1 month!
You may also be a Torontonian if:
- You have ever stood anywhere in public and howled in a mournful way "AARRRRRRRGGOOOOOOOOSSSSS!!!!!!" Particularly on a subway platform.
- Apologized to anyone about the mayor calling in the military to clear snow.
- Believed and any point that the Leafs could go all the way
- Corrected anyone by saying that it IS “The Leafs and not the Leaves”
Hey don't forget The Tragically Hip, lol
Duly noted! Awesome.
It'll be the Skydome ( or just "The Dome") till I die.
Also, if you refuse to call the tower anything but "The CN Tower" in it's original context. HA!
I did miss the barometer lights that were on a building downtown when they were shut off. I could see them easily from a couple of buildings I worked at in the late 90's early 00's. I had no clue what they were until my boss told me. If the lights were going up, the air pressure was rising. If they were going down, it was dropping. When I got back to the upper Jarvis area ~ 05, they were gone.

Sorry if it's been mentioned already...but what abooot...The Barenekkid Ladies....sorry, no avatar.
It's a "child friendly" site!
OK I guess I'm not that Canadian, cause I have no idea what you're talking about.
you must be canadian if....you are not weirded out by someone telling you they just ate a beaver tail
OK I guess I'm not that Canadian, cause I have no idea what you're talking about.
Fiddleheads are a wild vegetable that grow along river banks that have flooded. They can only be harvested in the early spring, before they grow into ferns (much like asparagus is picked when young).
They are boiled or steamed and served with salt and butter or (of course) vinegar.
Saint John, NB has a statue of them.
Plaster Rock, NB has a giant sized wood carving of them.
Tobique First Nation has a school shaped like a Fiddlehead (when viewed from above)!
You really must get out more!
The promise of a hot chocolate and beavertail is the only thing that can make me skate the length of the Rideau Canal.
