    Only Americans would get into a Wikipedia peeing contest. An insecure lot them Yankees.

    In Canada we don't care if we are wrong or right. We're too busy having fun.

    Time for another smoke and mirrors beer before I run off to buy my lotto tickets.....hahaha all that matters to 80% of our population.

    Tax my income but don't tax my beer!

    There's no place I'd rather be.

    I was just responding to a statement, a statement that Canada wins more gold in hockey. We Americans aren't perfect but we do try to verify claims.

    I would love to to sit back and not give a f__k. But if we did that, who would the world call when a helpless country is invaded? Who will they call when a natural disaster hits? Where would people go for medical procedures that their socialized medical program won't authorize?



    "But if we did that, who would the world call when a helpless country is invaded?"

    Are you kidding me? LOL

    Who would the world call on when people need medical procedures socialized medicine won't pay for?

    You might want to re-think that statement. There is no place I'd rather be in a medical emergency than here.

    Everything else I don't care about. Too busy having fun. Hahaha

    Now throw some troop numbers behind those names.


    So let me get this right. The US had a bigger population and consequently could send more troops. Good comeback.

    So, What Do We 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, ON

    5. Lacrosse is Canadian

    6. Hockey is Canadian

    7. Basketball is Canadian

    8. Apple 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. Then, 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. (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.

    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 world's oldest company.

    18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
    (That's more information than I need!)

    19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.

    20. We invented the ski-doo, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, the paint roller, roller skates, duct tape, the jolly-jumper, air conditioned vehicles, the Zamboni, the barcode, the Blackberry and the telephone. Also short wave radios that save countless lives each year.

    21. The light bulb was actually invented by a Canadian (Henry Woodward patented it in 1874). The patent was bought by some obscure American named Edison who improved upon the design and took credit for inventing it.

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

    23. A Canadian invented Superman.

    24. We have colored money.

    25. Our beer advertisements kick *kitten* {Incidently...so does our beer}

    BUT MOST IMPORTANT !

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


    OOoohhhhh Canada !!

    You will both have to pass our very ambitious food challenge. Can you eat a large poutine, a fried beavertail and wash it all down with a large double double? If you were thinking of coming to Atlantic Canada, I'd make you eat a donair as well.

    Oh please, I'm Greek. I'll even wash it down with a Mooseheads beer!

    Now, now...no need to go THAT far. There is much better beer to be had around here!

    Now if she had Said " PIL " Then you know that she is one with Saskatchewan.
