Well the Canadian quarter has, of course, a caribou on it, ( remember the song from Sesame St. with the beaver? " A quarter has a caribou on it, on it" ??) So to drop a caribou means to drop a quarter or make a call, and tell on you could mean talk to you...
What do you think?

Close, actually. In the US, it's common (television cop) terminology when someone squeals on someone else to say that they "dropped a dime on you". So, your caribou analogy was pretty darn close. Good call (so to speak).
