I don't like hockey. I don't drink beer. I don't even like butter tarts. And I can barely tolerate winter.

How can I call myself Canadian?

You end every sentence with 'eh'? *smile*

I like sunshine, foreigners, cheap beer, and baseball, yet I still think of myself as English...

That's okay, you can go with Moxy Fruvous, if you prefer. After all (wait for it, wait for it...) Canada's Really Big.
