I have the fortunate opportunity to travel on extensive trips
throughout Europe a few times and also around the world
once---backpacking mostly.  You can tell who the Canadians are because
almost without fail they have a Canadian pin on their lapel, and/or a
patch on their jacket or backpack.  In many ways I cannot blame them. 
If I were Canadian I would hate to be mistaken for American.  After a
while though, if I saw the pin or patch, but only after hearing them
speak English, I had some fun by asking them what part of the US they
were from.  You should have seen how fast they would point to their
pin or patch and say, "No!  I'm Canadian!".
