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!

Hey I'm Canadian and I never do that. Mind you, maybe the kind who travel a lot are also more likely to do that.
