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 … We got bored because they ran away. Then, we came home and partied… Go figure.
Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany
We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER. (We got clobbered in the odd battle but. prevailed in ALL the wars)
Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.
The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, he slept in and missed the whole thing. He showed up just in time to get caught.
A Canadian invented Standard Time.
The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth’s surface and is still around as the world’s oldest company.
The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
(That’s more information than I need!)
We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.
We don’t marry our kin-folk.
We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis and the telephone. Also short wave radios that save countless lives each year.
We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
A Canadian invented Superman.
We have coloured money.
Our beer advertisements kick ass {Incidently…so does our beer}
BUT MOST IMPORTANT !
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.
Pass this on if you are proud to be Canadian!!!
Can I pass it on if I just love Canadians.
The following Letter is not directed at anybody but the Fox News ignoramuses’…
I got this from my Dad, who is a Canadian Vet, it was passed along to him by a Canadian Vet, I am also ex Canadian military. I take great offence to this jack asses on Fox News. So I am posting it here, so that some here, who do not know of the Canadian Policy of Supporting the Americans, or that we are involved, will gain a better understanding.

Subject: Cathie Brock’s letter to fox news
Thank you, Cathie Brock! I am proud to ‘keep this one going’ as my friend has indicated below. I am ‘blind-copying’ as many as Rogers Internet System will accept.
I Don’t know who Cathie Brock is but received this from a friend whom I know will agree to it’s widest distribution possible, so go ahead and fire it on to everyone you know, Canadian or American ! Cathie sent off a very well written note to FOX News re: their recent debacle on
''Red Eye" re: the Canadian troops; turns out she’s now getting to go on the Adler show
[radio] …good for her…keep this one going !
Re: Fox - Red Eye Rant Against Canada
In responding to ignorance, one has to steadfastly guard against judging everyone for the very bad behaviour of just a few. But today, it will take a little more effort, because today, we receive home 4 young men – fallen soldiers whose families have listened to their country and their military being mocked by a bunch of misspeaking yahoos in and around the same time period as they receive back their dead. I do not believe the comedic-challenged satirist ‘wannabe’ ignoramus from Fox’s Red Eye (Greg Gutball, or something) represents the majority of Americans. My fear, however, is that because so many Americans know so little about Canada and Canadians, the outrageous comments made by Mr. Gutgarp, (or something) will be accepted as factual by an unenlightened audience.
Canada, known to Mr. What’s His Name as ‘that ridiculous Country’ received home four fallen heroes. They died in two separate incidents while serving in the American led war in Afghanistan. The mother of one of the soldier’s held her little baby as she watched her husband’s casket moved from the transport plane to a hearse and with great dignity and pride, she saluted her husband, her baby’s dad.
Sadly, the Fox comedic-challenged satirist wannabe ignoramus and his silly band of followers did not realize that Canada – you know that ridiculous country with no army – actually has a higher proportionate loss than the Americans. And while I suspect the following approximate statistics re military deaths in Afghanistan are not important to ‘the most powerful nation in the universe’, please indulge me:
U.S.A. 300,000,000 pop 667 military killed
Canada 30,000,000 pop 116 military killed
U.K. 60,000,000 pop 152 military killed
Mr. Gutfeld, I know we’re not Americans – a cross we all have to bear in this ‘ridiculous country’, but we also are not the enemy. We are the A L L I E S. Our loss is no less and no more significant than American families losing a solider to war. The same goes for our policemen, who are some of the best in the world. This summer, more Canadian RCMP will be travelling to Afghanistan as police mentors. But not to worry, they will leave their red jackets and horses at home.
You say you didn’t mean to show disrespect. I didn’t hear it that way. Your shtick wasn’t funny, your timing for a Canada bash was awful, and your lack of awareness of who is actually fighting this fight is quite unbelievable given that you are on a News station.
So, today our soldiers will not get pedicures or manicures or run along beaches in white capris (???); rather some will fight, some will salute their fallen comrades, some will pack to go overseas to serve in the American led war in Afghanistan.
In the meantime, I will go to a bridge and wave a flag and salute our fallen soldiers. We do that here in Canada. Every time a fallen soldier is repatriated, we stand on the bridges along the 401 Highway – now officially named Highway of Heroes. As the Hearses pass by on their way to the Coroner’s Office in Toronto, we cry and wave and salute and quietly thank our men and women for their ultimate service.
Here is a link - Highway of Heroes Tribute - YouTube. Or, you can Google Highway of Heroes.
I like a good laugh – but call me ‘ridiculous’ I just don’t think this or you was funny.
I do not have Fox TV at this time but if I did it would be cancelled
Just my opinion,
Cathie Brock

O and by the way if anyone knows this little weasel, "tell him that the little girls who serve the Tim Hortons coffee at the base in Kandlehar (Afghanistan) have bigger balls that he does! "
I would like to challenge # 9. All of Mr. Rogers’ sweaters were handmade by his mother. You just can t beat that :D.
Thought you Canooks would like this…
Where’s Canada? ‘Bathroom break’
I would like to thank the Canadians for always backing us up in every recent war we’ve been in. They’re a great people and produce great soldiers. If there were Canadians in Vietnam we probably would have won that one too.
To the best of my knowledge there were about 5000 plus Canadians involved in Vietnam. Some joined your military and some were sent as advisers and Observers.
In WWII some Americans, joined the Canadian and British Militarys to fight in the war, before the US did.
