Canadian Food for thought.....

[bluberry]

SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?

1. Smarties

2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp

3. The size of our footballs fields and one less down

4. Baseball is Canadian

5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball is Canadian

8. Apple pie is Canadian

9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass

10. Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass

11. In the war of 1812, started by the USA, Canadians pushed the Americans back ... past their 'White House'. Then 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..

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

13. We have the largest English population that never ever surendered or withdrew during any war with anyone, anywhere.

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

15. 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.

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

17. The Hudson's 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.

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

20. We don't marry our kin-folk.

21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives each year.

22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.

23. A Canadian invented Superman.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!!

Oh yeah ... and our elections only take one day.

I AM CANADIAN!!!

Yep basketball is from Ontario....but Baseball is still disputed. Origins are linked to English Rounders. There is a recent find where a game called "Base Ball" was outlawed in Pittsville Mass in 1700.

I think lacrosse is a native canadian game, originally.
It is becoming pretty popular up here...it's rough!
and Mr. Dressup really DOES kick the crap out of that cardigan wearing sissy Mr. Rogers.

A winter statistic

98% OF CANADIANS SAY "OH SHIT" BEFORE GOING IN THE DITCH ON A SLIPPERY ROAD.

THE OTHER 2% ARE FROM Nova Scotia AND THEY SAY, "HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS."
