A few thoughts from a northern neighbor. Courtesy of one from south of the 49th - Jeff Foxworthy!
And more than one is absolutely true (speaking from experience).

If you're shopping in a Home Depot store, and someone who doesn't work there offers you assistance, you may live in Canada.
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you probably live in Canada.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong-number, you could live in Canada.
If 'vacation' means going anywhere south of Detroit for the weekend, you may live in Canada.
If you measure distance in hours, you could very well live in Canada.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you definitely live in Canada.
If you've switched from 'HEAT' to 'AIR-CONDITIONING' and back again, in the same day, you undoubtedly live in Canada.
If you can drive 90 kilometres an hour through 2 feet of snow, during a raging blizzard, without flinching, you could certainly live in Canada.
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Canada.
If you carry jumper-cables in your car, and your wife knows how to use them, you probably live in Canada.
If you design your child's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Canada.
If the speed limit on the highway is 100 km/hour, and you're going at 120, and everyone's passing you, you definitely live in Canada.
If driving is better in the winter because all the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Canada.
If you know all four seasons as: Almost-winter, Winter, Still-winter, and Road Construction: you may live in Canada.
If you have more miles on your snow-blower than on your car you live in Canada.
If you think of minus-2-degrees as being 'a little chilly', you undoubtedly live in Canada.
If you actually understand these jokes you definitely ARE Canadian ... and proud to be.

Somewhat true in Maine. Definitely true in Alaska I think. I found Alaskans to be truly friendly.

Last week, my sons were discussing why Canadians are so generally nice. They concluded that Canada wasn't made up of a bunch of aggressive rebels who had to fight King George to be come a separate nation.
