SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?

2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp
3. The size of our footballs fields and one less down

9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass
10. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass
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, under the command of William Lyon MaKenzie King 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 surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone. anywhere. EVER.
14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and it 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 Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds 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.
24. We have colured money.
25. Our beer advertisments kick ass
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!!
25. And we don't bomb our allies.

@ Atilla...it was a canadian to invent basketball

http://www.stanford.edu/~klynn/keltonob.html > answer to the question is James Naismith
James Naismith was a presbyterian minister of Scottish descent and Canadian upbringings. He invented basketball, or a very different look-a-like game, to entertain a majority of rugby and football players during the winter season.

I live in Montreal in the burrow of Beaconsfield and Baie-d-urfe but my family used to live in Mississauga before Iwas born.
 
Baseball

Origin: The orgination of baseball had many differences than the sport of today. After being originated at the start of the Civil War in 1861 it could only continue to grow as a sport.

Since when did Canada have a Civil War?

====================================

The first recorded baseball contest took place in 1846. Cartwright's Knickerbockers lost to the New York Baseball Club in a game at the Elysian Fields, in Hoboken, New Jersey.
 
We never pushed the Americans back to Washington in the war of 1812, that was a sneak attack on Washington that lasted a day. Otherwise, good post!

No he was scottish :D . If he was a scott, even if he was raised by canadians and in america he was still scottish.;)
 
But he was born in canada. We canadians may call ourselves canadian but we never forget about where we came from. That's why a white person here isn't just white, he's german or british, french, etc
 
psh.....a canadian might have invented basketball but an AMERICAN team is still the best....that team being the lakers



:lol:
