What Do Canadians Have To Be Proud Of ? <\/em><\/p>\n

Well, look at this list to start…<\/em><\/p>\n

Smarties!
\nCrispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp, Mars Bars
\nThe size of our football fields, and a game played with one less down and bigger balls
\nBaseball is Canadian – First game June 4, 1838 – Ingersoll , ON
\nLacrosse is Canadian
\nHockey is Canadian
\nBasketball is Canadian
\nApple pie is Canadian
\nMr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers (and Rusty beats Casey anyday)
\nTim Hortons beats Dunkin’ Donuts
\nIn the war of 1812, started by Americans, Canadians pushed the Americans back, past their ‘White House’. Then we burned it and most of Washington.
\nCanada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.
\nWe have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER.
\nOur civil war was fought in a bar and it lasted a little over an hour.
\nThe 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.
\nA Canadian invented Standard Time.
\nThe Hudson Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth’s surface and is still around as the world’s oldest company.
\nThe average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
\nWe still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
\nWe don’t marry our kin-folk.
\nWe invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, and telephones. And, short wave radios that save countless lives each year.
\nWe ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
\nA Canadian invented Superman.
\nWe have coloured money.
\nThe handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
