And They Say Canadians Don't Brag.....
So, what do we Canadians
have to be Proud of?
1. Smarties (not sold in the USA )
2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp
(not sold in the USA )
3. The size of our footballs fields, one less
down, and bigger balls.
4. Baseball is Canadian - 1st game
June 4, 1838 - Ingersoll , ON
5. Lacrosse is Canadian
6. Hockey is Canadian
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 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 who
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 human in under 3 minutes.
(More information than we 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 and the telephone.
And short wave radios which save countless
lives each year.
22. We have ALL 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 ass
... as does our beer.
26. Our Country is the only one to have plastic money bills in 2011
AND MOST IMPORTANT ....
The handles on our beer cases are big enough for hands with mitts on.
Oh..... Canada !
Oh yeah... and our elections only take one day!
Pass this on if you're proud to be Canadian!
Not quite Dunkin's but far better than the joke known as Krispy Creme.
french canadians? so rude and stinky not even the germans wanted them.
Yet still preferable to Mexicans.
Probably true...lots of frigates, corvettes and destroyers, although I believe there were two small flattops.
Come on, give 'em credit, they are the only country that ever taught Frenchmen how to skate.
The Mrs. and I visited a restaurant in the middle part of our great commonwealth, where upon the following dialog occured between the Pretty Young Waitress and LiM, Mrs. LiM looking on bemused:
PYW: May I recommend our French Canadian meat pie?
LiM: Is it made with real French Canadians?
PYW: Yup!
LiM: Are they fresh?
PYW: Fresh trapped the night before
So, of course, I was cornered. After a hearty repast of FCMP, the PYW returned for round II.
PYW: How was your French Canadian Meat Pie?
LiM: I distinctly tasted Anglophone!
PYW: Huh?
Game, set match, to LiM.
No disagreement, but if we ever actually implement ObamaCare, Health Canada will seem like paradise by comparison.
How much of Canada is us companies?
auto parts?
assembly?
pharmaceuticals?
Often it is “canada a wholey owned subsidiary of USA, Inc.”
illegal or legal?
legal entrants are an entirely different entity.
(agreed about dunkin vs krispy cream)
Sorry, but you did not burn our White House--that was done by a British force that sailed in from Bermuda. Meanwhile, in the summer of 1814, we were beating you guys at the Chippewa River and Fort Erie.
12. Shouldnt brag about having ANY French population.
Beats Mexicans any day of the week.
Except Monday, May 5th, 1862. :)
LOLOLOLOL!! That was excellent!
Illegal, of course.
LOL! Everyone knows that all of our hookers and hockey players come from Sudbury!
If I saw that on the streets here, I’d slap it upside the head, for being completely off the map. Canada is like #38 in the world, US is much higher, and they are going around bragging we have health care? What a bunch of indoctrinated idiots (meaning the girls in the photo).
Thanks for the ping, buccaneer81.
Google “Avro Arrow.”
Oh please. Better yet, google “Avro Arrow myths.”
Then you will learn it was a so-so plane that never was tested fully because there was no market for it. It had a 600 mile range. The US had scores of planes that died in the test phase, for cost overruns, or being behind on technology, or design problems. They were soon forgotten about and life went on. Canada had this one hanger queen and has built an industry praising it’s hoped-for performance.
Listen to this Canadian professor:

Count a large number of our elected idiots, er, elected officials in that group.
I have to ask,just what is Coffee Crisp? If, as the title suggests, it is made with coffee, then I am game!
Mexicans actually like to work.
