CANADIAN.... Eh !
So, What Do We Canadians Have To Be Proud Of ?

7. Basketball is Canadian
8. Apple pie is Canadian
9. Mr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers
10. Tim Hortons beats Dunkin' Donuts
11. In the war of 1812, started by America , Canadians pushed the Americans
back past their White House'. Then we burned it, and most of Washington ..
We got bored because they ran away. Then, we came home and partied........
Go figure.
12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to
Germany
13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or
withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER. (We got clobbered in the
odd battle but. prevailed in ALL the wars)
14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.
15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American
mercenary, he slept in and missed the whole thing. He showed up just in time
to get caught.
16. A Canadian invented Standard Time.
17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and
is still around as the world's oldest company.
18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in
under 3 minutes.
(That's more information than I need!)
19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.
20. We don't marry our kin-folk.
21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin,
zambonis and the telephone. Also short wave radios that save countless lives
each year.
22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell
about it.
23. A Canadian invented Superman.
24. We have coloured money.
25. Our beer advertisements kick Butt {...so does our beer}
BUT MOST IMPORTANT !

on.
