When I was in Canada several years ago, I met a couple from near Toronto.
We were discussing travel and one of them mentioned that they'd heard it
was a good idea to wear things with "Canadian markings" while traveling in
Europe.

I guess that explains it.  If I ever travel to Europe, I might also
identify as Canadian.  :D
