Someone asked the other day, what Canada is famous for...Here is a list:
Just a little bragging from Canada... 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, & 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, & most of Washington. We got bored because they ran away. Then, we came home & 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! (We got clobbered in the odd battle but prevailed in ALL the wars).
14. Our civil war was fought in a bar & lasted a little over an hour.
15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, he slept in & 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 & is still
around as the world's oldest company.
18. The average dog sled team can kill & devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes. (That's more information than I need!)
19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.
20. We don't marry our kin-folk...ever.
21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin & the telephone. Also short wave radios which save countless lives each year.
22. We have ALL frozen our tongues to
something metal & lived to tell about it.
23. A Canadian invented Superman.
24. We have coloured money.
25. Our beer advertisements kick ass
(Incidentally...so does our beer).
BUT MOST IMPORTANT !!!
The handles on our beer cases are big enough
to fit your hands in with mitts on.
OOOoohhhhh...Canada!!!
Oh yeah...And our elections only take one day!
Pass this on if you're proud to be Canadian!!!
