#10) We got Canadian Tire! One of the few places in the world where you can get your skates sharpened while you wait for a tire rotation!
#9) You can get in your car anytime you want , and go almost anywhere you want, without a driver or a body guard, and with no fear of being carjacked!
#8) Women can walk around with their boobs hanging out any time they so desire. Personally I haven't seen much evidence of this but I think it's a good rule!
#7) We have spring, summer, fall, and winter. I would not trade this for all the tea in China!
#6) It is normal to eat with a fork, a spoon and a knife. While I make no judgement about other cultures this just seems to be so much more sensible than eating tofu with chopsticks, or rice with your hands!
#5) You can have as many children as you want and every one of them will receive decent health care, and a public education. While it ain't perfect I think it is still as good as any, and better than most systems in the world.
#4) You can vote for Stephen Harper without fear of being shot for it. Although if I voted for him I wouldn't tell Michael for fear of getting slapped!
#3) We have 2 official languages but only one alphabet. Before I seen a bit of the world I thought this was complicated
#2) We do not have any one named Michelle Bachman, Bill O'Reilly, or Anne Coulter. What's most important about this is the reason we don't have them. Their bigoted attitudes simply wouldn't thrive in Canada.
....and the number one way you can tell you live in Canada..
#1) You can walk down the street holding hands with anyone you damn well want to, man or woman, wearing whatever you want, and while you may get some verbal abuse for your personal choice, you will not get thrown in jail for it!
