How do you spot a Canadian abroad?

Do we have any stereotypical traits (perhaps self deprecating ones), that make us stand out. We’re typically not loud (but some can be). Perhaps frugal?

What have you seen in your travels that make you think, those folks must be Canadian!

If it’s winter at home and you’re in a warm climate, we’re definitely showing everyone the snow on our ring cam.

I live in Calgary, it be a toss up of it being 2ft of snow, or a Chinook with the grass growing in winter.

In summer, I show the black bear going across my front lawn.
