@trminatr - when you left out Ogopgo, the Internet and Big Foot, it was obvious that you were
joking about Canadian inventions.

BTW - when did out Navy get another rowboat?

2. You "may" have started Lacrosse, Basketball, and Hockey (Basketball and Hockey are debatable) but teams from countless other countries, most namely the USA, will kick your friggin' ass at all of these sports. Hands Down!


Aaaah, excuse me, but didn't we just kick your ass in Olympic hockey - both the men's and women's teams?

I AM Canadian! :D

Good one annyjay; however, hockey is not really fair example IMIHO
Think I read somewhere that -
the nationality percentages in the NHL in one particular recent season : 56% Canadian, 19% USA born and 25%European. :D

Why thank you richardc for pointing out the NHL statistics; however each and every member on both of those teams was indeed a Canadian, including Vancouver's own Joe Sakic, Paul Kariya and Danielle Dube.

For information on the team members see:

So yes richardc we really did kick butt at the Olympics! :D

I tend to agree with that one ---

Canadians also love Moose and igloos :D

And The best things to come out of canada where Shania Twain and Mario Lemeux ... And Star Trek Rox !!! "Resistance Is Futile, You will Be Assimilated" :D

All Seriousness though - I have visited Canada on a couple of occasions and have to say it is a beautiful country, not to mention clean !! I have never been in a place where you can eat off the sidewalks .. My last trip I took was to Niagara falls, it was the only place I have seen where they had people with brooms sweeping the sidewalks and streets !!
