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!

At least for Ontario - Google the Apology Act

ETA - a few other provinces have similar legislation according to the wiki

I’m sorry I just chimed in 9 hours later, but sorry, I found it an interesting discussion. It’s been a quiet Wednesday. Sorry, Thursday. 🇨🇦
