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

5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball 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 back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was
insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so 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.

14. Our civil war was a bar fight that 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.

21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin,
penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and 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.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!!

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

I must point out a few things:

1. Baseball is American...not Canadian - see this link
http://www.new-phila.k12.oh.us/ashla...nal/origin.htm

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!

3. Krispy Kreme stomps all in the Donut rivalry.

4. Plaid isn't cool.

5. Davey Crocket could have killed the average dogsled team in less than three minutes with Bessie, his rifle.

5. You haven't been in any wars because you are too busy moving all of the snow off the runway.

6. Why make all the references to a "French" population when Canada is a salad bowl of "French" defectors who simply cannot find thier own culture in Canada.

I had to add these to the list...I think you forgot them.

We were in 2 World Wars for about 2 years before the Yanks decided to join in.

All things aside though our canadian friends are truly good folks. I had the good fortune of living there for 3 years as a child on vancouver island.

Well....

To my knowledge, Canada has NEVER back away from a conflict, you only think we are passive. Canadians don't cause the conflicts to happen, I think it is just that we always have an open ear for the other points of view, even when that point is NOT ours. President Bush has ordered, or something of that nature, a gathering of troops to pronounce a excistance of Americans over in Iraq.

Don't forget the Captain Kirk is also Jewish.

Hey I posted this as a JOKE! I just wanted us Canadians to feel better as our navy consists of 3 rowboats with 9.9 merc's on em

It was not meant as deflamatory towards our American brothers and sisters.

Merry Christmas everyone.
