    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. 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, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and hammered all the time. 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.

    14. Our civil war was a bar fight that 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. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.

    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.

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

    23. A Canadian invented Superman.

    BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
    24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.

    OOOoohhhhh Canada!!

    Oh yeah... and

    25. our elections only take one day.

    Kismet - I AM CANADIAN!!!

    Honk Kong is Canadian ( Vancouver I mean...lol )

    The Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien, interviewed about the Queen Mothers funeral, described it as a nice 'simple affair'.

    As it was one of the largest and most complicated funerals in the past hundred years I suspect he was actually describing his thought processes.

    Only people with a huge inferiority complex post stuff like that. I think it is incredibly stupid to stick your tongue to frozen metal.

    Hillary:

    I gotta say I agree with you. He is an embarrassment to Canada.

    Bea:

    Most of us figured out after the 3rd or 4th attempt that it just isn't smart!! lol

    Princess:

    Sorry if this offended you but we (Canadians) are just learning how to be outwardly patriotic...

    theres something strangely comforting about having the country run by a guy who everyone knows has no idea whats going on around him.

    Lol @ #12. But, I'm sure they TRIED really hard....

    From SatireWire.com:

    THE AXIS PANDEMIC

    International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.

    Kismet, I'm not offended! I have always thought Canadians were a patiotic bunch. I disagree with a lot of your claims and if you are proud of freezing your tongue to metal, well, we all have to be proud of something.

    Nothing wrong with that. Next step is to learn to express it without negative implications toward another country. ;-)
