Eh??

Yes, that's one way.

Since today is Canada Day here in the Great White North
Here I sit trying to think of all the ways
People can TELL you are a Canuck

The staple "eh?" at the end of almost every sentence
Although I try my very best to limit it's use
Sometimes it truly just slips out

The other is APPARENTLY we say "aboot"
Instead of 'about'
Although I don't hear that come oot at all...

You can definitely tell us apart in Florida
In the middle of March
With our glow-in-the-dark legs
I guess that can be said for a lot of people

But, we say 'ketchup', not 'catsup'
And 'pop', not 'soda'
When we order 'tea'
We ALWAYS mean HOT tea
(If we want iced tea
We ASK for ICED tea)
We ask for directions to the washroom
Which is the same as bathroom, toilet and can
When the mercury rises about 55 farenheit
We will usually be in a pair of shorts

We're friendly and talkative
Kind and patient
We have no problem making fun of ourselves
As we are a confident bunch
We love our beer and we love our hockey
We love that we have 4 very different seasons
And we welcome the changes each one brings

Oh yes...and this just in
You can marry whomever you want up here..
Love is the only pre-requisite

Happy Canada Day
To All my Canuckie stranger-friends

Have a good day oot and aboot, eh?
