Tanker, I believe the correct word they were going for with regard to insulin was "discovered", not invented. Hey, someone had to discover it, and develop it into something useful right? And I believe much of it comes from pigs rather than humans, that too had to be developed into a useable technique. All Canadians.


Other than that, your list is pretty much spot-on.

Then again, many US "inventors" actually came from Europe as well, so the same argument could be applied as well.



Give us the zamboni and we'll give you Graham Bell. Deal?

Dude, you smoking some strong Canadian cigs today or what?

"We burned down the White House during the War of 1812, and Americans couldn't even get close to Ottawa!" Check that date again? That's right. You haven't found anything else to shove in our faces in nearly TWO HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS. And let's get something straight. It wasn't EVEN the Canadians that burned the White House. It was the British. The Canadians fought alongside the British in the War of 1812, but it wasn't them who burned the White House. If you look anywhere online (other than an Anti-USA Canadian comebacks page) it ALWAYS says the British did it. And NO, being a British Colony doesn't make you British. As you're so fond of reminding the whole world every chance you get, "I am Canadian, Eh!" So, Canadian, no bragging rights for British accomplishments. That's like someone winning the Nobel Prize and having his CAT take credit for it. While you're digesting the fact that you can't take credit for burning down A particular building, consider the fact that WE BURNED THE WHOLE CITY OF TORONTO FIRST (York, the capital of Upper Canada at the time). The British burned Washington, including the White House in 1814. Also, you say that bit about us not being able to burn Ottawa as though it was even the capital of Canada during the War of 1812. Kingston was the capital of Canada at the time. Ottawa wasn't named the capital of Canada until 1857. I guess when you're uneducated enough to think Canada burned Washington D.C. you're uneducated enough to think Ottawa was always Canada's capital.

tanker.. no roll up the rim for you!

j/k :P

Grosse Ile, an island on the St-Lawrence river where they quarantined immigrants back in the early 1900's i believe.

Later used to develop anthrax during the 2nd world war.

Poutines the bomb!

Beeeeeeeeer !

Part 1
Canadians could?ve had French cuisine, British culture, and American technology. Instead, they chose French technology, British cuisine, and American culture. Just think about that.

Canadians blame Americans for negative influences in their culture. Okay, let?s think about this; this is a country that wants to legalize pot. Not to mention, it?s a country founded by convicts of European governments. And they say those of us south of the border are a problem?

Part 2
Because you all not only suffer an inferiority complex, you also suffer an identity crisis. The Japanese agree...Canadians copy every American image, only they look cheap doing it.

For it being your "national pastime" you losers can't keep a decent team within your borders. Two sucky teams that moved to the US (the Nordiques and Jets) improved upon their relocation. The teams remaining in Canada are no longer contenders. Furthermore in a desperate attempt to save the CFL by increasing revenue they expanded into the US, where the league promptly died. Sorry we don't enjoy second rate losers.

If Terrorists bombed Ottawa would the rest of the world care? Does anyone even know Ottawa is in Canada?

Bryan Adams and Celine Dion...enough said

Allegiance to the QUEEN!...you're aware she has no real power right? What kind of faggot shit is that?

While sucking at any sport that takes real athletic talent the curling team does quite well(if you call that a sport).

America has been keeping your economy afloat for the past 20 years. If we hadn't then we'd be calling you Northern Mexico.

Canadians! The bastard children of the French!
