Subject: WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF
Here are just some of the things that CANADIANS have to be proud of:
1. Smarties
2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp
3. The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger balls.
4. Baseball is Canadian (First game June 4, 1838, in Ingersoll,Ont.)
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, 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. EVER.
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. 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 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.
24. We have coloured money.
25. Our beer advertisements kick ass BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
26. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands in with mitts on.
Ohhhhh Canada!!! :D
27. We don't bomb our allies.
28. Our elections only take one day.
I Am Canadian!!! :)
