Gee whiz, they filed a patent for something. Further on in that very same Wikipedia entry for Woodward:

"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."

Go figure.

12. Canada has the largest French population
That never surrendered to Germany .

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.

Slept in and missed the whole thing.
He showed up just in time to get caught.

Something metal and lived to tell about it.

23. A Canadian invented Superman.

Oh, it's a great arrangement we have.

We sell off our natural resources and get back cheap products "Made in China" that break down within 72 hours.

You know it's sad when we yearn for a return to the days of "Made in Taiwan".

What we need is more of this.

Canadian arts and entertainment suck so much balls you have to force it upon your own people.

That's just like beef and lumber.

If you simple minded cunts were not forced to consume it you would be standing in front of your idiot boxes and ecstatically engorging yourself entirely on the tit of American arts and entertainment.

I pray every day that society collapses... so that when it does I can make my way across the former US / Canadian border and begin the wholesale slaughter of your "people". You gunless snow mongoloids will only be able to stand there, powerless. You slackjawed mouth breathers only survive by the grace and glory of The United States.

Why is it all gun loving rednecks keep going on about the collapse of society? While that might be a possibility it in the shithole you live in, or even an inevitability, it's not something that we concern ourselves with.

Another thing you ignorant egomanics believe is that the US is the whole world, here's a newsflash for you, it's not. Just because your society might collapse it doesn't mean it will for Canada. So if your society does coming crashing down, and if you muster up the strength to leave that bunker you live in to make your way to Canada you will be greated be the nice men and woman of the RCMP in their funky boots who will ask you kindly to mosey on back to were you came from.

There is a reason most of your population live within 100 miles of the American border. More closer to the glory, more closer to the source, more better for the Canadian parasite. The citizens of Detroit would spill onto the streets of Windsor and to believe that anything but the complete and utter destruction of the Windsor garbage would result, delusion. Pure, unadulterated, Canadian delusion.
