Yup, when we hear canadian bacon. It usually gets met with a huh? and a semi-retarded stare cuz we haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

Canadian bacon here would be bacon from a canadian pig, rather than imported US bacon from an American pig. But even that wouldn't be called American bacon, it would just be called expensive. Hehehe!

Same with canadian whiskey. To us it's just called whiskey or rye, and there is nothing else. That corn squeezins stuff you get down there is not fit for human consumption.....(just kidding, LOL!)

And we know what toques are too. And toboggans. Years ago I was down in Texas on a motorcycle trip, and one of the Texans I was riding with said he was gonna stop and put his toboggan on his head. I like to cracked up, thinking of him riding a Harley wearing a toboggan on his head. Turns out he was talking about a toque!

Diesel was 1.499 here the other day. $156 bucks and I still had 1/4 tank left.

Yup, and ice hockey is just known as hockey, and tuna fish is known as tuna. We already know its fish!

Diesel here is 139.9. For a brief time, it was the same price as gas at 135.9, but that lasted a day or so, and diesel went up and gas went down.
