We also have the Royal Canadian Air Farce, which is a comedian show/troupe.

Oh, and we have the Snowbirds, you guys have the California Blue Angels.

We have the loonie ($1 coin that have a loon on it), you guys have the $1 coin with Sacajawea on it, that hardly any Americans like to use (as told to me by my friend who is a Princess Cruises ship-board employee.

and we have a $2 coin (the two-nee or toonie) with a polar bear on it. Apparently there is such a thing as a $2 bill in the USA, but they are few and far between.

And then there is lieutenant: is it LOO-tenant or LEF-tant? I think the LEF-tenant is the Canadian pronunciation, but to me, that's just dumb. There is no "F" in lieutenant.
