Observations on Canadian couples

It is hysterical how people like to let you know they're in a relationship here. Ever so subtly, one solo person will slip in a "we." As in, "we loved that movie" or "yes, we have been to New Brunswick." With zero prior knowledge as to what or whom they could be referring. No no no, this is not the Royal "we," but rather, the Canadian way of letting you know they have pair bonded. These are the same people who will later refer to their "partner." They say it proudly. It is their job to shame you into oddity, least they tempt themselves with the world of options. No, they are a "we." They have successfully merged into one. Like a red dot on their Canadian foreheads, that "we" is a warning both to you and themselves.
