   As long as you can shovel a path to the barbecue, it’s good.

   I have a next-door neighbour who is from Dublin. A few years ago we’d had a snowstorm and the next day I shoveled a path out to the barbecue. I got a bit warm doing it fast, so I threw my jacket back into the house and finished shovelling with just a sweater on. As I was lighting the barbecue, I heard this voice from next door calling out, “That’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen!”

    The full, proper title is only used in formal settings. Before he was King Charles III, Charles, Prince of Wales was regularly referred to as Prince Charles, even in the UK. Princess Diana was referred to that way as well.

    By the way, since we’re being pedantic, it’s “faux pas”. Also, “mothers-in-law” is the correct pluralization.
