eh?

You know you are from Ontario when:

-When trying to tell people where you are from, you just say hey I am this far away from Toronto, and suddenly everyone gets it.

-You know Ontario is the centre of the universe

-You can't remember the last time you heard French.

-Despite 9+ years of French, you know more Punjabi, Bengali, Hindi or Chinese.

-You don't see a white cab driver.

- Any city with less than a few hundred thousand is considered hick.

- You know that the Leafs suck, but you refuse to let anyone else know. Besides, they may just win the Cup this year, its only been 39 years.

-Or you hate the Leafs entirely, and cheer on the Senators. An apparently much better team.

- What the hell is this football stuff?

- You haven't been to any of the other provinces, except for Quebec (drinking age), because well whats the point? You might as well go to the States.

-We know 401 isn't a tax form

-We know there is a difference between QEW, Gardiner and 403. Though technically are the same road

- You think people from Alberta are whiny rednecks, who don't know how to share (Unless you are Maggie's boyfriend).

- You know you're from Ontario when people think that Toronto is the nations capital and you can correct them because you live here and know better.

- Or you know you're from Ontario when everyone else is Canada hates you just because...they have no better reason.

- If you are not from Toronto, you try your hardest to "prove" that you are better than them. But try as you may, you are one of them.

"Vacation" means going to Barrie for the weekend.

You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

You use a down comforter in the summer.

You think of the major food groups as deer meat, fish, and berries.

There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the Canadian Tire store at any given time.

Your provincial capital calls in the army to help clean up after a snow storm.

Your $400,000 Toronto home is actually a dump

You're in the only province with hard-core American-style crime

MuchMusic's Speaker's Corner - rant and rave on national TV for a dollar

Baseball fans park on your front lawn and pee on the side of your house

You know there's no such thing as an Ontario Seperatist

Your grandparents sold booze to the States during Prohibition

Lots of tourists come to Toronto because they mistakenly believe it's a cool city

Have a new/better hint if someone is from this province? Send it in at the bottom of this page.

You have enough French vocabulary to get by some of the day in Ottawa without them thinking that you're a completly incapable American.

You find -40C a little chilly.

You voted Liberal in the last election.

You understand the Labatt's Blue commercials.

You know you are from ontario when a 45 minute drive can mean the diference between an inch and a metre of snow (i.e. toronto to barrie)
