So, here are 13 things that I have had to explain to the locals...
1. The saying, "they couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery".
Meaning, the person/group are horrible at organizing; as a 'piss up' (getting drunk) would be incredibly easy in a brewery.
2. Universal Health Care
...and how you don't die waiting to be seen!
3. That not all Canadians say, 'eh'!
I have never said it in my whole entire life!
4. What a 2-4 is.
A case of beer, 24 in all.
This is actually only a 6-pack but I just love this picture!5. The word bathroom or washroom.
Down here it is a restroom. I'm still trying to figuring out what 'resting' is done in there!
6. "bugger"
used either as 'little bugger' or 'bugger off'
7. Where Nova Scotia is
...northeast of Maine...Maine, is on the east coast kind of above NewYork...google it, and google Maine while you're at it!
8. That we drive on the right hand side of the road.
9. Christmas is celebrated on December 25th
10. The Queen does not make our decisions for us.
11. Not everyone is gay or a lesbian,
although there is not a problem with being either, or both. ;)
and NO, IT IS NOT 'CATCHING'!
12. We say 'zed' instead of 'zee' and I say bum instead of booty.
13. We are not ruled by the United States!
No joke, someone seriously thought that the United States "owned us".

Welcome to the T13 thing!!
Welcome to Thursday Thirteen. I always get, how can you live with all that snow, like it snows all year around lol Happy T13 from Ontario.
Out here on the West coast of CANADA, they don't know what a 2-4 is. Mostly because beer is so astronomically expensive in BC (as is any liquor or wine) that people don't buy it in flats of 24. They'd go broke.
Great TT - thanks for sharing.
funny! I would add that we don't all say "a-boot" instead of "about". I would hear these US comedians making fun of us Canadians saying "a-boot" and I would wonder who on earth were they talking about...
