What are some words used in Canada that are not used in the U.S.?

I'm a Canadian by the way. The only Canadian words I'm pretty sure Americans never use are tuque, and zed, and hydro for electricity. What are some other examples?

Here are few, off the top of my head.

Sled to refer to a snowmobile.

Pogey meaning to be receiving EI. benefits

A Concession road. Found in rural Ontario, it is a grid of country roads, that look like, on the map, like a chess board of squares.

a two four case of beer.

Remembrance Day.

Toboggan.

Muskeg.

Wind chill.

The Mounties.

A RIDE check point. Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere.

CBC.

The Sunshine Girl.

The Leafs, sigh.....

The Habs. 100 years of great hockey, this year.

Jim B. Toronto.

I've never heard an American call it a chocolate bar, it's always a candy bar. How about soda? You never hear a Canadian say they're going to the fridge for a can of soda unless they mean club soda particularly. We call it pop.

Rye (for whiskey). If you ask for a rye and coke they have no idea what you're talking about!


Goddess of Grammar
Chesterfield (yes I know my mom's the only person who actually says that) and pencil crayons.

Also in a lot of places in the US they aren't sure what "hockey" or even "skating" refers to. Or "shovelling" just by itself to mean digging the car out of the snow.

a quart bottle of beer - (is it a liter since we went metric??) but in fairness, most Canadians outside of Quebec don't know that one either.
