Default OT-Canadians

SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?

1. Smarties
2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp
3. The size of our footballs fields and one less down


4. Baseball is Canadian


Don't think so.

5. Lacrosse is Canadian


Actually a version of Lacrosse was played by native Americans before we arrived
here some indians reside in Canadian territory so this statement could be
partially true.

6. Hockey is Canadian


7. Basketball is Canadian


Don't think so.

8. Apple pie is Canadian
9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass
10. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass


11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans


Don't think so. My history book stated that it was the commandeering of
American ships and the impressing of our sailors into the British navy so they
could help in the fight against the French and the British refusal to stop that
practice that led to the war of 1812.

12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to
Germany.


Definitely true.

13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or
withdrew during any war to anyone. anywhere. EVER.


There were no Canadian troops at Dunkirk??

14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and it lasted a little over an hour.
15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American
mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing... but showed up just in
time to get caught.
16. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and
is still around as the worlds oldest company.
18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in
under 3 minutes.
19. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
20. We don't marry our kin-folk.


You don't have West Virginia and Kentucky so that is true.

21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin,
zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives

each
year.


Most of the above but not the telephone if my memory is correct.

22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell
about it.
23. A Canadian invented Superman.


24. We have colured money.


So do we now with our new money. Looks nice.


25. Our beer advertisments kick ass
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with
mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!!


25. And we don't bomb our allies.

oh yeah... and our elections only take one day.


Interesting to say the least.
