Things we have in Canada

I was recently told by an American that you can't buy Cheezies in the USA. How can this be??? Is it true?
What else do we have in Canada that the US doesn't?

You guys got the metric system; something the US looked at back in the mid 70's but unfortunately decided not to implement. Don't you guys also have boxing day, something we don't have? Also, last I heard Canada sells toilets with a 3.5 gallon flush; here the law says it can't be over 1.6 gallons. I've heard stories about locals here going to Canada just to buy one.

Smarties as in the candy? Got them here, if so.

Canada has Mounties. We have mounted police, but they aren't as cool.

You guys are doing great

Homo milk is short for Homogenized

Yes, Ontario has 1 litre bags of milk.

Boxing Day ..correct

Snow ? take a trip to New York State,Michigan,Ohio, N.Dakota, Montana,Idaho, Washingting State to name a few.

One big one > Money > We have own money (Nobody else wants it)

Gee, I collect Canadian coins. Mostly older ones, when I get them in change. I have to save them because no one here will take them!

My sister says you all have the Canucks, which was her fave hockey team when Pavel Bure played for them. He's her favorite export.

Pavel Bure is Russian. Actually, he's American. When he moved here, he married an American girl to get his green card. Then they got divorced.
