HAPPY 
CANADA 
DAY!!!!


I received this via email, and haven't checked the facts, but I thought it was fun for today:
So what do we Canadians have to be proud of? 
1. Smarties (not in the USA)
2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp (not in the USA) 
3. The size of our football fields, on 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 Horton's 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!
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 a little scary)
19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo. 
(I don't) 
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 elections only take one day.
26. Our beer advertisements kick ass (incidentally, so does our beer)
But most important ... the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands in with your mitts on!!!!! 

OOOOOhhhhhhhh Canada!
