WHY CANADA ROCKS!
---------------------------
1) We're BIGGER...if we don't count Russia!
2) United Nations ranks Canada as the 6th best place to live in the world.
3) We're healthier, free health care, baby! With thanks to Mr. Tommy Douglas of course
4) Six feet of snow doesnt slow us down any. Two inches of snow and New York is closed for a week.
5) Tim Hortons > Dunkin Donuts > Starbucks
6) Our flag is original
7) We don't have to buy our drinking water from other countries.
8) Acceptance. Canada was the third country in the world to allow homosexuals to marry, the second to give female equality, and the first to have more than one national language.
9) We successfully stole LifeSavers from America, as it is now a Canadian company. It's all fair though, seeing that they have stolen a sh*t load of companies from us (Molson Canadian, Tim Hortons (Wendys), and many more...)
10) Mrs. Vickies is WAY better than Lays
11) The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as one of the world's older companys. Again...American's stole that from us too.
12) We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
13) Our currency is colourful and easy to sort.
14) We invented some of the worlds most well known sports! (Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse)
15) Famous inventions: Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone & the Insulin Process was invented by Frederick Banting. Too many more to list.
16) We have the best f*ckin' beer in the world!

AND SO MUCH MORE!

"Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader...
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!

Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America

I am Canadian!!!"

Goody.

Too bad there is no American version of this, but if there was it would be considered in "bad taste".

[xxxxmoogle]

*sings* oh canada...

[ham_let]

and the first to have more than one national language.

[iMumble]

Well it proves that Canada isn't the first country to approve more than one language.

- It's a good place to come from.
- It's a good passport to have.
- It's a nice place to visit, once every year or two.
- It's universities are all right.
- Montreal's cool.
- The variety of food is very good.
- Hockey rocks if you have time to follow it and can afford to go to the odd game.
- There's lots of salmon.

That's about all I can think of for now. Maybe I'll move back one day but it's nothing I have any interest in doing any time soon.

[YuBumsuk]

Oh, I forgot: - The drivers are fairly polite, though less so in Quebec.

[iMumble]

And you forgot the people are less racist.

[sweetbait]

You also forgot that our national leader doesn't have the IQ of a fish..unlike some countries *COUGH* US *COUGH*

Yea but he has the personality of a fish.

A dead fish. A dead fish born without pesonality.

I don't get George Bush though. Wasn't he captain of his debate team at YALE? Like what? Where did all that knowledge and wit go?

[iMumble]

Where did all that knowledge and wit go?

He was a cocaine addict in the mid 80's so it all dissapearred right there.

Lol I hope this is a lie. You can't say things like that in front of Americans. We'll all believe you because it's what we want to hear.

Which is funny, because the Conservatives in Canada tend to be Bush lovers. Otherwise, you'd be stuck with us in the Iraqi quagmire by now. And at least the Republicans have some originality in their foreign policy outlook. So much for higher IQ, EH?

Originality? I don't consider it a good thing to be 'original' when it comes to foreign policy. Kin Jong-Il and Hugo Chávez are also quite original. Don't forget Ahmadinejad.

I hate conservative Canadians. They're the only reason why we have a clone of George Bush in office. ugh. Since when did western Canada have so much say in whatever the fu-k goes on in this country? And why did so many Ontarians still vote for the PC? What the hell is wrong with these fools. PC should get ZERO seats in Ontario. They got FORTY in 2006. Oh my goodness.

[dfl]

And that is why i'll always side with the libs through thick and thin.

Though last election i was a little swayed, not anymore.

[kingofloss]

I would have voted Liberal if it's party members weren't all so unlikable.

In the last Ontario election, I voted Green. Speaking of which, in my riding, there was this candidate named Janet Monster. Seriously. If you don't believe me, go look it up. North York, Bayview/Sheppard area. What kind of fu-king surname is Monster? I really hope no one voted for a monster.
