(Well, I think we can safely substitute Canada for Ontario here:-)-and I suspect we could also safely include the UP of Michigan, too! Enjoy!)

You Know You Live In Ontario . . .

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36" of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you live in Ontario.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Ontario.

If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Ontario.

If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Ontario.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE ONTARIAN IF:

1. "Vacation" means going south past London for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and then back again.
5. You can drive 110 kph through 2 feet of snow during a
raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
7. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
8. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
9. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer
next to your blue spruce.
10. Down south to you means Windsor.
11. Your 1st of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
12. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
13. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
14. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Ontario friends, you live in Ontario

That was great thanks for that and I will be forwarding that on haha .

no. 13 applied to me the other day when i was at the wal-mart (blech, yeah, i know - no choice) and was the only one in shorts and t-shirt. everyone else was in sweaters and jeans and i even spotted one toque! heck, it was almost 40f out

k

I spent my summers in Northwestern Ontario for 18 years....
Most of these apply to me

LMAO -- Good one, thanks for the pick me up

yep i can relate to all that , though going south from winnipeg means population decreases by half and they all go to arizona to get rid of frost bite.

so cold here every baby born gets a free snow shovel from hospital. lol

Actually, I was amazed to find that the one Dairy Queen that normally does close in September was still open. I missed Treatzza Pizzas

Being from Kingston, I can totally relate. lol.

LOL, Loved it!

Hey, I grew up in Kingston too! My Dad still lives there. I LOVE Kingston!

You know you're an Albertan when:

1. A "weekend trip" could be anything in the province north of the US border
2. You propagandise about switching parka to sweater within 8 hours (but fail to mention the tail-end effect of sweater to parka)
3. you can wear shorts in any weather above 14 F
4. Your repertoire of sports generally spans rodeo and ice-hockey (and you're really passionate on the latter, even booing the province's "other" team at all costs)
