    Why the world is jealous of Canada!

    What do we Canadians
    Have to be Proud of?

    1. Smarties (not sold in the USA )

    2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp
    (not sold in the USA )

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

    4. Baseball is Canadian - 1st 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 Eversurrendered 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 don't marry our kin-folk...

    21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro,
    Zippers, insulin, penicillin and the telephone.
    Also short wave radios which save countless
    Lives each year.

    22. We have ALL 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
    (Incidently... So does our beer)

    BUT MOST IMPORTANT !

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

    OOOoohhhhh..... Canada !!
    Oh yeah... And our elections only take one day!

                All Canadian achievements through all history can be summed up in only one thread?
                Are you sure? Are you not missing somethings? That`s all?

                The dutch VOC was actually here before The Hudsons Bay Company. At the time The Hudsons Bay Company was set up there was no such thing as Canada or Canadians. At that time in Canada you had European conolization and aborigonals whistling their didgeridoos... or was that Australia

                          1. Smarties (not sold in the USA )
                          Do you mean like smarties, the candy? Which is manufactured in the U.S. and is available all over the place?

                          http://www.smarties.com/

                          Smarties Candy Company is owned and operated by three generations of the Dee family. On January 10, 1949, Edward "Eddie" Dee brought his family from England to New Jersey. Equipped with only two machines in a rented facility, he succeeded in founding Ce De Candy, Inc., makers of Smarties®, America's favorite candy wafer roll.

                          Eddie opened his first factory in Bloomfield, New Jersey in August, 1949. He proceeded to move the company to Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1959 and finally to Union, New Jersey in 1967. On January 1, 2011, the company changed its name from Ce De Candy, Inc. to Smarties Candy Company.

                          Eddie also created Ce De Candy, Ltd. in Canada, opening a factory on Queen Street in Toronto in 1963. Later, he moved the operation to a new Canadian facility built in Newmarket, Ontario in 1988 to make more Smarties® and "Rockets®," as they are called in Canada. (Canadian Rockets® candy fans can visit the Rockets Facebook Page and follow Rockets on Twitter. Website coming soon…)

                          Smarties® are made 24 hours a day in two candy factories located in Union, New Jersey and Newmarket, Ontario. The company produces billions of Smarties® rolls each year.

                              The top two things are snacks... And not because they're good, but just because the USA doesn't sell them, they're the best things?

                              Canadians have really lost their identity.

                                  Not to forget a Canadian invented the original incandescent lightbulb - the patent for which was subsequently sold to Thomas Edison.

                                          At least 90% of your list is about Britain, not Canada.

                                          Including Smarties and the lightbulb:

                                          Edit: and Alexander Graham Bell.

                                          WTF. Is this a joke thread?

                                                That policy was implemented so radio stations would be forced to play Celine Dion and Corey Hart music.

                                                Needless to say it was not a popular policy amongst Canadians.

                                                We voluntarily listen to Rush, Triumph, April Wine, B.T.O., Chilliwack, Kim Mitchell (Max Webster), Burton Cummings (& Guess Who), Tom Cochrane, Saga, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Trooper, Pat Travers, Ian Thomas, Honeymoon Suite, Aldo Nova, Loverboy, Helix, Spoons, Doung & the Slugs, Platinum Blonde, Headpins, David Wilcox, Tragically Hip, Jeff Healey (RIP), Shania Twain, Barenaked Ladies, Three Days Grace, Amanda Marshall...to name a few.

                                                        That's more about preserving our own cultural identity than forcing. Living nextdoor to the massively egotistical media giant that has 10x our population we had to do something.

                                                        Most Canadians I know agree with the content rule. If not for it the CFL would be the NFL North.

                                                                                        But his was an irrelevant point anyway. I cited the CFL as but one example of where Canadian Content rules were applied to preserve our identity. Otherwise every team would be loaded with 100% US players who didn't quite make the NFL cut. Nowhere did I say it was the greatest league since sliced bread, which is the way Mutt took it of course.

                                                                                        As for Labret, he of course doesn't seem to realize (or chooses to conveniently ignore) that the USA itself imposes "buy American" policies on it's people. Pharmaceuticals, lumber and beef are a few things that come to mind in recent times. USA first! But if anyone else does it it's worthy of scoff and scorn, right Bubba?

                                                                                            "Several earlier inventors working on the light bulb had progressed as far in their work as Woodward and Evans: J. B. A. M. Jobard in 1838, C. de Changy in 1856, John Wellington Starr in 1845 and Joseph Swan in 1860. Each contributed to the development of the incandescent lamp, but it was [Joseph] Swan who assembled the necessary components to make the first practical electric light bulb."
