$chris moved to LA from Canada around the same time I did, we're both thought of as being the "Canadians" around deviantART HQ. I've always thought hands down $chris was more Canadian than I am. I mean... he was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and his "abouts" sound way more like "aboot" than mine. Hardcore, right?

The other day in the course of regular everyday conversation it came to light that $chris hasn't even slept outdoors in the winter before. He hasn't even tried curling.

Suddenly it occurred to me that I may in fact be more Canadian than $chris, even though I was born in England and grew up in what is arguably the least Canadian part of Canada (Montreal, Quebec).

So who is more Canadian?

We checked the Internet for a questionnaire to help us answer this question, but the ones I found listed points like "In a restaurant, you've apologized for not being ready to order at the waiter's convenience."

Nonsense!

So we decided to develop an index of our own questions to determine for sure.

So here it is. The $chris and $trowlandson developed Canadian ranking system. It has no basis in science or logic but we feel it's the most accurate test of its kind ever developed. Feel free to try it yourself, wherever you're from.
