Things to thank Canadians for:
=95ice hockey and =95curling (I find it interesting)
=95oka cheese
=95Toronto
=95Montreal
=95Labrador
=95Any of the Atlantic provinces
=95polar bears (lol)
=95Carling (Black label)'s daughter, a very cute blonde tennis cutie
before Anna Kournakova, she also never lived up to her (court)
potential)
=95 a closer than Ireland or Israel example of racial strife between the
frogs and the white guys, even more we can see how absurd those things
are
=95All those comedians with which we might never have had SCTV or SNL
(and also a lot of bad movies by Woopie Goldberg and Robin Williams, but
how would we know the good ones without the dross?)
=95Benedict Arnold's treason
Remind me sometime to tell of two local historical conflicts, the over
20 year border dispute that at times got violence, had "terrorism",
between Bushwick and Newtown (Brooklyn and Queens) and the even more
obscure one between Connecticut colony and New York,,,once the eastern
part of Long Island was part of Connecticut, the element in New England
was always more rural, there was a compromise, LI went to NY and
Connecticut got their SE peninsula, New York got their lower eastern
border with Connecticut, that side is on the western side of a mountain
ridge...
Both of these were originally Dutch v English disputes that carried over
I realize I am avoiding the Canada good stuff list, maybe because I
monetarily can't think of anything else...
=95The CN, Canadian National, the first (maybe second but CP, Canadian
pacific was the other one) transcontinental RR, and actually the first
public;y run and very successful RR in North America
=95Annie Lennox
=95a refuge for draft dodgers in the 80s
=95Canadian bacon which probably originated in Minnesota or Vermont or
the Idaho peninsula, but they have the credit now
=95Canadian Club (some might say Canadian whiskey, but it gives me a
headache)
=9554-40 and fight, making our border straighter and safer for security
checks, except that little peninsula butting into Canada
[This is a peninsula heavy message]
[Alaska has a peninsula into the Yukon; Ontario has a peninsula, at its
apex is Hamilton, Detroit's Oakland (unless it is the other way around)]
=95Robert Goulet
=95Canadian football (which actually is American football field and
rules pre-1911, though the rouge goes back much earlier)
=95a country about 150 years old but the national song is only about 40
=95Quebec uses accent marks I think it may even be Qu=E9b=E8c though in
this boring plain text, the second accent mark looks like a box
=95Qu=E9b=E8c
