I want to make a list of Canadian things…
A real list.
So, no, ice fishing, saying "Eh", or being a lumberjack wearing plaid do NOT count.
Let me give some examples…
Tim Hortons
Timbits
Montreal smoked meat
Nanaimo bars
Hockey
Maple syrup
Toques
Free health care
Writing a cheque, not check
Showing some colour, not color
Saying Z-ee, not Z-ed
Lonnies
Toonies
Lucky-Loonies
Insulin
CBC
CTV
The Rock (Newfoundland)
Beavers
Terry Fox
CN Tower
Stanley Cup
Government of Canada logo
Calgary Stampede
Trans-Canada Highway

You keep adding on now!
Coke, you’re like an American troll
Tim hortons… doesn’t matter, it’s still Canadian
Timbits… is it’s own food, it’s like saying "you can’t put Montreal smoked meat, because you listed Montreal"
Hockey… Invented by Canada
Maple syrup… first made in Canada by natives, over %80 of world stock made in Canada, largely know as Canadian. (Apple pie is considered American, yet is was not even invented there)
Toques… Pretty much everyone owns one, and Canadians in winter really give the definition of the word "Toque"
Free health care… isn’t free, it’s socialized, paid by taxes, put a layman’s term of saying it, is "free"
Lucky-Loonies… A loonie placed under an ice rink, that team Canada won on when playing with the loonie under them. Created a fad of a lucky-loonie, soon mass produced and released as a loonie with Olympic rings on it.
Insulin… discovered by Canadians. Radio waves existed forever, and everywhere, yet only recently did people discover them and use them.
The Rock
