    Proud Canadians ...

    Here are just some of the things that CANADIANS have to be proud of



    1. Smarties

    2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp


    3. The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger

    balls.


    4. Baseball is Canadian

    First game June 4, 1838, Ingersoll, Ontario


    5. Lacrosse is Canadian


    6. Hockey is Canadian - Birthplace, EYE believe, Dartmouth, N.S.


    7. Basketball is Canadian


    8. ***** 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...and most of Washington. 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. EVER.


    14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and it 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. A Canadian invented Standard Time.


    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.


    24. We have coloured money.


    25. Our beer advertisements kick ass BUT MOST
    IMPORTANT!....


    The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your

    hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!!



    Oh yeah... and our elections

    only take one day.

                  ......hmmm

                  It was the zipper, but the inventor only immigrated to Canada, from Sweden I think.

                  Bell set up a laboratory in Baddeck NS, he spent many summers there and did much of his research there, but not Canadian, Chris is right with Scotland, then moved to Mass. I believe.

                  It was Marconi who set up the first radio transmission in Glace Bay, NS, but he was Italian.

                  Fessenden who was born in Canada, made the first successful two-way transatlantic transmission.

                  .......and Banting who discovered insulin, born in Ontario, Canada.

                  Veni, Vidi, Vici, etc., etc., etc.,
