This cute. As a Canadian, I disagree with some of the generalizations, but the author admits that they are only based on personal experience and submissions. A lot of the examples are about differences in the use of language.

As a Canadian who frequently travels in the US, I bring my own Coffee Crisp and Cadbury Fruit and Nut Dark chocolate bars. Used to bring clamato juice as well for the bloody Caesars, but this is now available in the US.

I suspect that the only Hubskiers who are amused by Canadian-American differences are Canadians, so I will apologize in advance.

humanodon:

Some of these differences in vocabulary are found in some northern states. In New England for example, eaves are the same as gutters, but usually on older houses.

Some things they've left out: All-dressed and other Canadian only flavors of chips.

A Canadian joke popular among the TEFL crowd:

Q: How can you tell if someone is Canadian?

A: They'll tell you.
