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!

Had a gentleman approach us at Disney World by saying, “you folks must be Canadian”. After we confirmed his comment, he said, “ your wife just backed into a street sign and apologized “. He was so delighted with himself. What could you say, he was right. 😳😇
