....you can get a good butter tart, piece of Nanaimo bar, smarties, coffee crisps, and a good 'ol Triple O's burger from White Spot! Yum, yum!!

....the beer is at least 5% alcohol!!!

....you pay 14% tax or more on almost everything.

....you ask for tea and it's actually real hot tea.

...carrying some $1s or $2s would slow you way down on the bike or run (gotta keep these posts tri-related).

Anyway, I think the smaller goalie pads are a good idea; and as already mentioned, the goalies should be fair game once they leave the crease. I also think the clutch and grab crap has become a real problem -- it slows the game down so much -- it's in the rules but it's just not enforced. There should also be a shootout if the game is still tied after the short overtime period -- get rid of all the tie games!!

....Go Canucks!!

I would have a lot of trouble getting anything from a White Spot - don't have them in t.o. area. It is a good burger though...

"seriously...who says oot and aboot?"

Uhh, we do. I didn't realise it until I moved to SC. It is 'eye-out and aby-out' down there, my friend. A simple Canadian 'out' sounds like 'oot' to them. The difference is more subtle but still present in the northern states.
