Sometimes the truth hurts...

SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?

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 Horton's 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 somewhere in Kapakasing.

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 Hudson's 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.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

24. The handles on our 24 beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Caaanadaaa!!

Oh yeah... And our elections only take one day.

Pass this on if you are proud to be Canadian!!!

Coffee Crisp DOES rule, though ... and what's the other one? Aero bars? I can't imagine WHY we can't get them in the US.

Dead guy's coffee and Dunkin Donuts are a tie, though ... I'm happy with either, though the donuts up there are GOOD STUFF.

What are canadian mints? Oh, and you can't get good poutine in the states, either ... go figure!

Tulip, I think those are the little colored round candies, kinda like sweet tarts only smaller.

And don't forget Rush, April Wine, Triumph, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Prism, The Guess Who, BTO, Loverboy and Steppenwolf, to name a few. Yep, I'm a music nut, too, gbay. You probably had no idea we have something in common.
