I'm surprised no one has mentioned the best Canadian thing ever: HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. There's something about this that is so Canadian, maybe partly because its so candid and unassuming. When I watch the big US sports networks it always seems so rehearsed and stiff. Hockey Night in Canada is truly Canadian. You've got the awesome dynamic between Ron and Don Cherry. You've got the quirky announcers giving the play-by-play. Not only that, but (aside from Don Cherry) the real hockey guys KNOW hockey; they're not putting on a show. Kelly Hrudey and Mike Duffy legitimately get upset and emotional about it, its fantastic. So candid. So real.

I like it when Don goes off, which is fairly often. That guy is pure entertainment.

I have Ron's autograph somewhere... it was cool when I got to meet him as a kid.

What is one thing that is uniquely Canadian to you?

10 hours Sitting on the middle of a frozen lake in the dead of winter wearing hunting overalls, a T-shirt, and a ballcap drinkin coffee and bringing up a nice big Northern Pike out of that 8-inch hole you cut in the ice.

Wholewheat bread!... I didn't notice our obsession for this until my American friends pointed it out. And they didn't believe me when I told them you can get a Big Mac on wholewheat if you ask for it

New Kids on the Block are American. Kids in the Hall are Canadian, so I'm guessing that's what you meant.

Rick Mercer...Mott's Clamato...HOCKEY!!! And I mean "ice" hockey. In Canada we just say "Hockey", cause in Canada there is no other kind of Hockey.

Canada = Tim Hortons, Hockey, toques, snow sports, freedom, love, respect, prosperous blessed nation to live!

I live in an area where we dont just call 911 for someone looking like they are going to jump off a bridge. we run to them and talk to them and try to offer hope & a hug. There are exceptions to this of course, there are jerks everywhere.

I think many Canadians need a little global perspective to appreciate our blessed nation cause they only seem to dwell on the problems.
