Oh, and if you have to hold 1/2 an hour for the Prime Minister to finish riding a quad up and down the only gravel runway, and you explain that to your passengers, and the only question they have is: "What kind of quad?", then rest assured you are up north.

The Yukon, NWT or Nunavut are considered North,

Not Thunder Bay or Fort Simson or Prince George. Its where the Sun shines 24 hrs a day in the summer and not at all in the winter. My life long friends were made in the North so if you get a chance to live there do it.

what is a blueberry blonde?

It is North if your logbook page has 3 or more place names ending in Ik, Ak, Ik, At, Harbour, Lake, or Fort. If the signs at the terminal are in one 'Official' language, plus Syllabics, it's North. If you can't remember what something costs in a store, but you know what it weighs, it's North. If your passengers understand: Sked, split charter, and Medevac, it's North. If you know you have the Premier on board, and nobody is whispering "hey, look who's on the plane"... Yeah you guessed it!
Public holidays in places up North will include Freeze-up, and Break-up.
If you get in a fight with your Boss because they want you to hold call tonight, and you have a ticket for the Fireman's Ball... It's up North.
If you are aware of the existence of KFC Express (And you know it isn't a regional airline) or Klik Lite, then yeah, you're up North.
