Subject: PROUD CANADIAN

So, What Does a Canadian Have to be Proud of?

1. Smarties

2. Crispy Crunch

3. Coffee Crisp

4. The size of our footballs, fields and one less Down

5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball is Canadian

8. The biggest flags ever seen/flown at any Olympics were
Canadian....twice!

9. The second one was smuggled in because they made a rule against it because of the first time!

10. Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ***

11. Much Music kicks MTV's ***

12. Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths *** (...don't know about Aunt Jemima though).

13. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin Donuts ***

14. Waaaay better beer commercials/contests and beer company give aways. Hence the Molson Canadian House Party...where you get to keep the house. Trashed or not.

15. In the war of 1812, we pushed the Americans so far back...passed their 'White House', 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.

16. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany

17. The largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war

18. Our civil war was a big bar fight that lasted a little over an hour

19. 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

20. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on

21. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earths surface and is still around as the world's oldest surviving company

22. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes

23. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo

24. We don't marry our kin-folk

25. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, zambonis, the long distance and short wave radios that save countless lives each year. Oh ya...and the handles on beer cases big enough to fit your hands with mitts on

26. We can hum the tune to 'Definition'

27. We all know that a scale that measures boiling water at 212
degrees and freezes at 32 is asinine

28. We've ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it

29. We wear socks (black is optional) with our sandals

30. We can out drink Americans in a heart beat!!

OOOOoohhhhh Canada

You might want to sit down before you read this. OK, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but, Mr. Dressup is dead. He won't be kicking anyone's butt anymore.

I will retract the Toronto thing, Montreal is the one that has to go!
I could have sworn the Dallas Stars just won the Stanley cup only a couple of years ago

This thread is a real hoot, eh?

All this beer talk made me thirsty - I had to go get some watered down Labatt's...

tomp - you mean the ex Minnesota North Stars?
We built you a good team, didn't we?
And now we're fighting to hold onto the Twins...two-time World Series champs...

Hey maybe we should let Canada annex the USA, change our name to Canada and fool the terrorist into thinking we the US are Canadians. Their dumb anyhow! Just might work.

Hey, don't blame me. It's a Texan who doesn't want any more hockey. I just said that I was happy to oblige him. BTW, I'd be a lot happier if the Minnesota North Stars had won the cup, rather than the Dallas Stars. There should be a new rule, no snow, no hockey.

Then you wouldn't have team's struggling when they play Dallas on their home ice (often referred to as slush when compared to other rinks).

Nothing personal Oz, but I have to beat the snot out of you if I ever catch you watering down Labatt's. Not that I want to, it's just a cultural thing. Hope you understand.

Ya, too bad. I had a hard time adjusting to Minnesota losing their hockey team to Dallas. But think about the poor Quebec Nordique fans. They lost their team and it won the cup the first season after the move! Hope you hold onto the Twins. Toronto had a good rivalry going there with the Twins before the realignment. The Expos gotta go though, they should definitely be the first to go. I mean, they've been getting like 2,000 fans out to games. Pretty sad.

Hey, good idea Skull! It kinda worked before in a small way, when we smuggled some of the American Embassy staff out of Iran, pretending they were Canadians. How about we call the entire continental U.S. Canada, except for North Dakota. Then you can station the entire U.S. Army there and wait for the b*stards to show their faces, then blast them to h*ll (where they belong).

Hey deadkenny...

Here in the U.S. they already do it for us...
We have some neighbors that moved down from Canada and they can't even drink it...it's a shame what they did to your good beer.
