  • Invite a Canadian to a football match. Canada is 100% a hockey country! We've been here since childhood and everything is on the ice. Save football for a trip to Brazil! Don't make yourself or others look stupid. If you want to ask someone out on a date, ask them to a hockey game!
  • Going to watch hockey empty-handed, as the Petro-Canada Teddy Bear Toss has been a tradition in Canada for many years;
  • Drink coffee anywhere but at Tim Horton/Timmy. This is categorically frowned upon by Canadians. If you prefer Starbucks coffee + you don't know anything about Tim Horton - you won't be friends with Canadians!
  • Stay on shore during the Polar Bear Swim, which has been held annually in Vancouver for 97 years!
