1. Smarties

2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp

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

4. Baseball is Canadian

5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball 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 America, 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 surrendered or withdrew during any war to 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.

So Fuck you Winnow and all the other Canada Bashers.

I'd just like to state that I heard a report on the radio this morning by the Prime Minister stating, and I quote, 'Canada, in no way, shape, or form, is responsible nor wants anything to do with that dickwad Atokal.'

Seriously tho, if you weren't feeling like you'd been getting enough negative attention lately, you could have just asked us instead of posting some list.

I'm a Canadian and I love this country but i wan't to know why people keep voting for the Liberals! They have been caught in scam after scam and it's becoming quiet annoying. I am an underaged Canadian so I can't vote. But if I could it would be for the conservatives and here are the reasons why.

Liberals: Waste too much money, made retarted gun registration.
Bloc: Says that we don't care about Quebec, in fact that's all he says.
Conservatives: Want to increase our military.

I think that we need air-craft carriers and better jets and newer everything. I am so sick and tired of turning on the televisions and hearing about us promising to help America in their wars and Paul Martin said he would send 100 troops but he apologized and said that we can't afford it, it's not in our military budget. Finally this: Canada votes 2004 english debate. Stephen Harper " Mr. Martin I want to build 2 aircraft carriers and upgrade all of our aircraft, because i find it personally embarassing when we send soliders to Irag or Afghanistan and we have to hitch a ride with Americans because we can't afford it." Martin " Ummmhhmmh"-> He turned red and made up some lame excuse about what Canadians want. Well excuse me but I hate everything the Liberals stand for.

Thank you I am a 15 year old Canadian residing in Alberta.

Lower the voting age in Canada to 15!

No it was Natives from what is now the States.

Lacrosse Origin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse

The sport has Native American origins. Its native name was dehuntshigwa'es in Onondaga ("men hit a rounded object")da-nah-wah'uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee ("little war"), Tewaarathon in Mohawk language ("little brother of war"), and baggataway' First Nations language "The Creator's game". It was usually played over the range of 3-10 miles. Since there was only one ball, players would concentrate on injuring their opponent with the sticks. Sometimes the game would last for days.

Cherokee Tribal areas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee

The Cherokee are a people native to North America who at time of European contact in the 16th century inhabited what is now the eastern and southeastern United States before most were forcefully moved to the Ozark Plateau. They were one of the tribes referred to by Native Americans as the Five Civilized Tribes.

Mohawk Tribal Areas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohawk_Indians

The Kanienkehaka, or Mohawk tribe of Native American people live around Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in what is now Canada and the United States. Their traditional homeland is further south, in New York State, around present day Albany, New York. They belong to the Iroquois confederation. After the pre-historic formation of the Iroquois confederation (Hodenosaunee), the Mohawks became keepers of the Eastern Door, guarding the members against invasions from that direction.

(emphasis added for clarity)

The First Nations then picked it up in Canada, so it started in the modern US and worked its way north. Kind of like trends

BTW why is there only one type of bookstore in Canada? I could find only one in all of downtown toronto, and it was a Borders clone.

So many cultures played a sport similar to modern soccer that no one can really say with any certainty when or where soccer began but it is known that the earlier varieties of what later became soccer were played almost 3000 years ago.

One of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball on a small field has been traced as far back as 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from China and Japan. The Chinese kicked a leather ball (filled) with hair) and it is known for sure that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the ancient Japanese capital Kyoto.

The Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern soccer. The early Olympic games in Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game.

While historians kept records of events such as wars and religious movements they had very little interest in preserving the various origins of soccer or many other sports, so no one can say how soccer seems to have spread from Asia to Europe.

The most popular game on earth.

The King of Sports? Not according to King Edward.

In King Edward's reign of England (1307-1327), laws were passed that threatened imprisonment to anyone caught playing soccer. King Edward's proclamation said:" For as much as there is a great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls, from which many evils may arise, which God forbid, we command and forbid on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city future."

Evidently judged to be vulgar and indecent, soccer was at times suppressed by the English sheriffs who followed royal orders describing the game as a useless practice. King Henry IV and Henry VIII passed laws against the sport, and Queen Elizabeth I "had soccer players jailed for a week, with follow-up church penance"

Clearly if they had persisted in the enforcement of these laws they would have saved the rest of the world a lot of trouble from the football hooligans!
