Things Canadians have to be proud of:[/siz]

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 is Canadian

10. Tim Hortons is Canadian

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.

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

23. A Canadian invented Superman.

26. Canada is officially the best place in the world to live.

Personally, I like "designed in England, Made in Japan."

Or, was that the other way around? ?(

No matter, you guys drive on the wrong side of the road. :D Hell, you even hooked batteries in cars up backwards for years. :D :D

Agreed. Don't know about Captain Kirk though. Not my cup of tea, never watched. However I feel I must explain Mr. Dressup (Ernie Coombs), who to Canadians is a dear man. He had a children's tv show on CBC for decades similar to Sherri Lewis and Lambchop or Sesame Street (man and puppets), I don't know anyone who didn't watch him at some point, he died recently :( and it seems he had a great influence on me as I actually cried when I heard that. Noone but a Canadian would know Mr. Dressup though.
