Go figure.

12. Canada has the largest French population
That never surrendered to Germany .

13. We have the largest English population
That never Eversurrendered 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, he
Slept in and missed the whole thing.
He showed up just in time to get caught.

Over 10% of the earth's surface and is still
Around as the world's oldest company.

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.
Also 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
(Incidently... 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!

What do we Canadians have to be Proud of?

1. Smarties (not sold in the USA )
Rowntrees of York, England, have been making "Chocolate Beans" since at least 1882. The product was renamed "Smarties Chocolate Beans" in 1937

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
Consensus once held that today's baseball is a North American development from the older game rounders, popular in Great Britain and Ireland. Baseball Before We Knew It: A Search for the Roots of the Game (2005), by David Block, suggests that the game originated in England; recently uncovered historical evidence supports this position


5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball is Canadian
December 1891, Canadian American Dr. James Naismith,[SUP][2][/SUP] a physical education professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School[SUP]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball#cite_note-2[/SUP] (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts,

8. Apple pie is Canadian
English apple pie recipes go back to the time of Chaucer. The 1381 recipe (see illustration at right) lists the ingredients as good apples, good spices, figs, raisins and pears.

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 ....
In recent decades the view of the majority of historians has been that the war ended in stalemate, with the Treaty of Ghent closing a war that had become militarily inconclusive.

12. Canada has the largest French population That never surrendered to Germany .
But they did surrender to the English

13. We have the largest English population that never Eversurrendered or withdrew
During any war to anyone,anywhere.EVER!
(We got clobbered in the odd battle but
Prevailed in ALL the wars)


17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the world's oldest company.
In July 16, 2008, the company was sold to NRDC Equity Partners, a private equity firm of Purchase, New York


21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, Zippers, insulin, penicillin and the telephone. Also short wave radios which save countless lives each year.
Velcro: The hook-and-loop fastener was conceived in 1941 by Swiss engineer, Georges de Mestral who lived in Commugny, Switzerland.

22. We have ALL frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
(Nothing to be proud of!)

Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics
24. We have coloured money.

25. Our beer advertisements kick ass (Incidently... So does our beer)
American beer ads are WAY better than Canadian ads - hence why everyone gets pissed off about the substitution during the Super Bowl

[Silver Slugger]

Isn't Maple syrup big in Canada?.

 

[BEER]

Jesus, American beers ads can be way better but don't insult me or Canadian beer drinkers. American beer sucks the big one.

Can I see the I am Canadian video again so Jesus can have his popcorn while he watches it.

 

[Jesus Quintana]

American beers are basically water and urine.
However they do have great ads.

 

[Prick]

Jesus, you need to get laid.

 

[Jesus Quintana]

Jesus, you need to get laid.

Not gonna deny that.

 

[tboy]

I always chuckled a bit when I saw the show "cops" and they pulled someone over for waivering all over the road....the cops would ask "have you been drinking"?

Only a couple of beers is typically the answer....

I thought, a couple? a couple DOZEN maybe to get that drunk.....I remember going over to the US and being able to easily put down 24 american beers and still walk home without drifting into the bushes.....(home as in wherever I was staying down there, not home here in canada lol)
