Whenever I travel down to the US, I sometimes get “caught” using the
quintessential Canadian expression “Eh?” The expression is so linked
with the stereotypical Canadian image — lumberjack shirt, toque (and
according to South Park, beady little eyes and flapping heads) — that Wendy couldn’t stop laughing when she heard some goths on Queen Street use the word.

Besides, one of my favourite shirts has the stars and stripes occupying the entire back. It's a big hit in New York...
Well, y'know, as long as I can eat the little chocolate flags, I'm happy.
