Canadian Icons

[McG]

What icons/institutions/things do you think most identify Canada? Is it the Timmie‘s coffee mug (like the comercial suggests)? Is it our hockey teams? Canadian beer? The traditional RCMP uniform?

Which are you proudest to identify with?

Flying across the Georgia Straight and seeing the Island, after having been abroad for a long time. This is my home and arriving back is the best feeling in the world.

Watching Rick Mercer mess w/ Yanks is fun also
