Subject: Oh Canada on the lighter side.
So what do Canadians have to be proud of?
- Smarties
- Crispy Crunch
- Coffee Crisp
- The size of footballs, fields and one less down
- Lacrosse is Canadian
- Hockey is Canadian
- Basketball is Canadian
- In the war of 1812, Canadians pushed the Americans so
far back pasted their 'White House', 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.
- Our civil war was a big bar fight that lasted a little
over an hour.
- 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.
- We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
- The Hudson 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
- We still know what to do with all the parts of the
Buffalo
- We don't marry our kin-folk
- We invented ski-doos, jet-skies, velcro, zippers,
zambonis, the long distance and short wave radios that save
countless lives each year.
- We ALL have frozen our
tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
- Oh ya... and the handles on our
beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.
...........OOOOOOoooooohhhhhh Canada!!

My Cross-Country Checkup
by Walter Stewart
Walter Stewart explores rural Canada’s backroads, sideroads and highways. Join him and his wife as they set off on a funny and historic journey in a coffee-stained, donut-filled minivan. My Cross-Country Checkup leads readers from Come By Chance to Pineapple Head, from Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump to Inuvik, describing local legends and inviting us into the course of a national dream. Discover affectionately detailed local festivals, casinos, roadside diners and pit stops as you hear the voices of Canada’s people from truck drivers to hemp farmers to amethyst miners, fishermen and dreamers.
