    Happy Canada Day to all AMHD Canadians!
    From Cambridge, Ontario


    So, What Do Canadians Have To Be Proud Of ?

    1. Smarties

    2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp

    3. The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger balls.

    4. Baseball is Canadian - First game June 4, 1838 - Ingersoll , ON

    5. Lacrosse is Canadian

    6. Hockey is Canadian

    7. Basketball is Canadian

    8. Apple pie is Canadian

    9. Mr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers

    10. Tim Hortons beats Dunkin' Donuts

    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 . 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. EVER.

    14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and it 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. A Canadian invented Standard Time.

    17. The Hudsons 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.

    24. We have coloured money.

    25. Our beer advertisements kick

    BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

    24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands
    With mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!

    25. And we don't bomb our allies. Oh yeah... And our elections only
    Take one day.


    26. Some of the best comedians are Canadian...



    I AM CANADIAN!! HAPPY CANADA DAY

    Have a Great One.

    Not that I personally have ever noticed, of course, but I understand that those Mounties in their tight pants are something to see.

    Oh, Mama!

    WOW! I didn't know Smarties was a Canadian thing.I used to love the original we had when I was little.Now there are so many variations similar to smarties that I can't seem to find that same taste.

    Happy Canada Day! Joyeuse Fête Du Canada!

    Well, as much as I enjoyed the horses' butts I was thinking more along the lines of photos of the Mounties' butts -

    Perhaps I'll save the horse butt photo - on occasion it would have been an apt avatar for me.
