- When they tell you the roads are closed to squall activity and you take it as an opportunity to test out your new snow tires.

- When you go to clean the snow off your vehicle in only your boots, boxers, and winter coat.

- When you spend all day watching NHL trade deadline day on television.

- When you vehemently try to deny that Celine Dion is Canadian.

Ouch, yeah, that one's true.

Especially if you live in Toronto, everyone seems to have loyalty for another country {that ISN'T Canada} *LOL*

There was an awesome line in this one movie I watched recently {and I'm too damned lazy to look it up} the one with the guy from the 'Man Show' where he's a boxer {I think it's called 'the hammer' or something similar} where he's hanging around these guys from another country and they're like 'yay Nicaragua!' and he's like 'you guys certainly have a great deal of loyalty to a country you risked your life to get away from'.

I am very blessed to be Canadian. But, our American neighbours have a type of patriotism that I admire and that Canadians as a whole lack. I don't mind seeing people displaying foreign flags. As a matter of fact these two nations that make up North America are built on the hard work of immigrant families who came here to provide a better way of living for themselves and their families.

I notice when Americans display their home country flag they ALWAYS have an American flag beside it. That's the patriotism I'm talking about. Never forget the past and appreciate the present. I hope one day we as Canadians can be like that.
