SO, 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

8. Apple pie is Canadian

9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass

10. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass


11. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.

12. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.

13. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.

14. 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.

15. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.

16. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company.

17. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.

19. We don't marry our kin-folk.

20. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives each year.

21. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.

22. A Canadian invented Superman.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

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

He who sacrifices freedom for security is neither free nor secure" - Ben Franklin

“I believe that freedom of speech should not be so abused by some that it is not exercised by others because of fear of smear. I believe we must not become a nation of mental mutes blindly following demagogues. I believe that we should never become mental mutes with our voices silenced because of fear of criticism of what we might say.” -— U.S. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, R-Maine, 1950, Declaration of Conscience Speech

Maaan. I was hopelessly hoping no one was going to point that out. But I couldn't help staring at it myself.

Canuck, how could you. Least of all there. A most unfortunate time to get a case of fat fingers.

I think I was at that one. Medicine Hat 1986. We were on leave from a BATUS exercise. Maybe I'm mistaken.
