LOL. BTW, third isn't first. As for the plane and the Doctor, did you see the helicopter we have from the Bin Ladin killing and how is the state of medicine up there today?

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!
Well, if they come in a clearish cellophane wrapper twisted on both ends and are light almost pastel in color then my girls eat the hell out of em and I can assure you they are indeed in the US. If instead they are some chocolate concoction then I would agree that I haven’t seen them.
Show me how the list is wrong. Do it point by point.
(not sold in the USA )
Coffee Crisp is well worth the effort. Track one down and see.
LOL. BTW, third isn't first. As for the plane and the Doctor, did you see the helicopter we have from the Bin Ladin killing and how is the state of medicine up there today?
Fidel Castro and Pierre Trudeau
Nope.
If instead they are some chocolate concoction then I would agree that I haven’t seen them.
Correct.
Perhaps this is what your girls are familiar with:
That's an American concoction.
As for Trudeau and Castro:
May all your blues be Labatt’s!
26. Our Country is the only one to have plastic money bills in 2011
24. US Money is coloured (It's green)
26. Plastic money woo!. Canada issues one polymer banknote two weeks ago. (If it's successful, they'll issue another one)
All Australian banknotes have been polymer since 1996. And yeah, We invented them.
Which is likely why your version isn’t in the states - trademark issues. sa la vie (or some such - my french spelling sucks since I don’t speak the lingo) :)
When you come in third behind the US and Britain (aside from Muzzie population) you're usually doing just fine, especially with NINETY PERCENT fewer people than the US.
Yeah, I’m sure Nestle ( a Swiss company) has never had to overcome international trademark issues. /sarc
You are correct.
Well - I’d imagine it was acquired by Nestle later and not introduced by them....
My aunt sent me a box of 36 for my birthday. They are fantastic.
Smarties are no longer manufactured in York; production has now moved to Germany, where a third of them were already made. Outside Europe, Nestlé's largest production facility for Smarties is in Canada, where Nestlé has been manufacturing products since 1918.
Indeed, and thank you!

Canada is America’s worst enemy. America fought six wars with Canada—more than we did with any other enemy. However, in four of the wars—the War of the Palatine Succession (1688-1697), the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714), the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Third Silesian War, aka the French and Indian War (1754-1763), Canada was French and we were English.
I love the Jets new logo. And Jennifer is...spectacular.
