Canada Day is July 1

This is for my friends in the south. Actually, most of my blog is for my southern friends. The following is from another site. I just copied and paste. I did have to look up "deke" and attached link because I didn't know what "deke" meant or "bunnyhugs" for that matter. I know "double double" because I work a Tim Hortons!

Canadian-speak, eh?
Around the world Canadians are known for adding “eh” to the ends of our sentences. But that’s not the only vocabulary we’re known for. Did you know that we’re also famous for ordering our coffee “double double”? And for coming up with the term “Hoser”, not to mention the “Two-Four” when referring to a case of beer? And in case you ever try to do this in another country, only Canadians know how to “deke” each other out.
We wear toques on our heads, use serviettes when we eat, and if you’re in Saskatchewan, wear “bunnyhugs” instead of hooded sweatshirts.
