Well I'm going to start things off with "You know your Canadian when" but if some American, Brits or others can join in if they want.

1. You know you're Canadian when the terminus for all commuter train lines in your city stop at the Hockey Arena (Montreal/Lucien L'Allier/Bell Center)
2. You know you're Canadian when your small talk begins with the weather
3. You know you're Canadian when you get pissed that someone pronounces the letter "z" wrong (its Zed BTW not Zee)

You know your American when you watch a commercial completely in spainish and the first thing to come out of your mouth is "God Damn"

You know your American when you have a tendency to say "AMERICA F-YEA" when you see other countries in turmoil on the news.

You know your American when the most common weapon in the country just so happens to be the Colt M4A1 or one of its many variants.

All of these which I have witnessed or am guilty of.
