What Do Canadians Have To Be Proud Of???

I got this as an email and it made me laugh!! We are such a simple country...but we sure know how to have a great time!!


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 MaKenzie King 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. 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. 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.

24. We have coloured money.

25. Our beer advertisments kick ass.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!


26. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.

OOOoohhhhh Canada!!

FACT: Canadians are more likely to than any other nationality to eat roadkill. In fact, Canadians refer to dead raccoons found on the highway as "Toronto Bologna."

(Source: McMillan's Culture Guide 1999-2000)


FACT: Almost half of the planes in the Canadian Air Force are made completely of paper.

(Source: Jane's Information Group)


FACT: Canadians frequently give tourists and vistors bad directions on purpose. Many of them hope that the tourists will drive into an open mine shaft and die.

(Source: Northern Neighbor Network Online)


FACT: Canadians don't tell their children about the myth of Santa Claus. When December rolls around, they entertain their kids with stories of Saint Oh, a skinny man with a pencil thin mustache who likes to stab people with an ice pick.

(Source: Winter Holidays Worldwide - p.80)





This is Clearly Canadian's grape-flavored water
It's GRAPE flavored and the bottle isn't even PURPLE! It's GREEN.
Clearly Canadian? Clearly retarded!
