we also invented the blackberry, the television, the television camera, the game show, the candy bar, the telephone was invented in Canada, baseball, hockey, basketball, canadarm, five pin bowling, walky-talky, snow blower, snowmobile, paint roller, the zipper, the washing machine, imax movie system, newsprint, sonar, roller skate, Colbat-60 bomb, electric wheelchair, colour film, lawn sprinkler, instant replay, and the football goalpost. You can thank Canadians, for all this.

@juralkable Then it'd be the 100 things I love about Canada, not 50. I'm sure there are actually 1000s.

[radewi1]

I wish i was born in canada and i wish i lived in canada. it seems so butifal and less, (and excuse my language but...), assholes there.

[monicavm]

@radewi1 We have those too, just not so many.

I still don´t understand why it came to be that Canada and the USA are different, separate countries (think about it), I mean, they were founded by basically the same European settlers, right? However, at some point, an line was drawn and some said "we are Canadians" and the others "we are Americans". Whatever the reason, I thank God for Canada! (I´m Mexican).

[monicavm]

@Tebanovich There was a war. We were fairly separate for quite a while before that however. There were colonies that wanted to be separate from Britain and some that wanted to be loyal to Britain. That's the division.

[MagiicDingo888]

Canada has the best fuckin military!!!

[canada4e]

[MasterBeebop99]

@yaoisyucky

Listen dude, Americans play baseball like it's a religion, do you see us complaining? And if you are refering to the NHL than the majority of players on the American teams are Canadian or Europian. Have you taken a look at the value of the Canadian dollar lately?

[smackbunny]

You, you smart woman, I think you should be our next Prime Minster.

Run for office, don't be afraid. We need someone like you.

[yaoisyucky]

@PaigerBunny feel free to babble on about what canada has invented, but that's all trash. You guys think your the best! you guys play hockey like religion, and you invented it, and still can't beat an american team. You guys invneted baseball, and all your baseball teams suck. In fact, they had to move a team out of canada because it was so bad. Call me ignorant, but canada does nothing. The only thing canada is good for is hot women, and the 18 year drinking age. O CANADAAA!

[bluehartz13]

Are things more expensive in Canada?

[PaigerBunny]

@yaoisyucky Was that really necessary? It's people like you that make people from the United States seem ignorant and full of themselves. I really do feel sorry for you. 

[PaigerBunny]

Aww I loved Mr Dressup!! I was very sad when Ernie Coombs passed away. Lovely video. Canada is amazing. I couldn't be prouder to have been born and raised in such a wonderful country.

[yaoisyucky]
