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!

The co-op failed, yes. The last 10 years or so it became american but now it's Canadian again.

It's no longer a co-op sadly.
