Happy Canada Day

[Goose]

Canada's top 5 contributions to the world:

1. Ice hockey players
2. Comedians
3. Lumber
4. People that can't count to five.

(Not necessarily in that order.)

Want to know if someone is a Canadian? Step on their toe as you walk past. If the person says "sorry" to you, it's a dead give away - he's a Canadian.

How did Canada get it's name? The founders threw all the letters of the alphabet in a bag and then proceeded to blindly pull out one letter at a time. It went something like this, "It's a 'C', eh... it's a 'N', eh... it's a 'D', eh..."

Happy Canada day to all my fellow Canadians and the rest of the world that wishes they were Canadian

4. A refuge for people who need to escape from the land of the free. The United Empire Loyalists, the slaves, victims of McCarthyism, Viet Nam draft dodgers ...
5. Telephony and Blackberrys

The top questions and concerns on every Canadian's mind:

1. Seriously, a beaver? Nope, that's not embarrassing in the slightest.
2. Canada better win Gold in Men's hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Cuz if they don't, I probably won't be able to afford the therapy.
3. Will America forget that we didn't support them in Iraq if we ever get invaded? Fingers crossed.
4. It's an outrage that hockey is not officially our national sport. C'mon, who even plays lacrosse?
5. Maybe if Quebec finally separates I won't have to press 1 for English and 2 for French anymore.
6. Yeah I know, but it would be so much cooler to have a President than a Prime Minister.
7. Honestly, I thought we ditched the Queen in the seventies or something.
8. What DOES Moose taste like?
9. When I travel abroad why can't they tell I'm not American? I mean seriously, when I travel I never wear running shoes, white socks, or a ball cap. And I always say "please" and "thank you." The Canadian flag on bag didn't seem to help either.
10. Should I go for the assorted Timbits or just all chocolate glazed with my large double-double?
11. What do you mean we have to pay more tax to keep free medical and Canada Pension? That just doesn't make any sense.
12. Global warming? It's about time. These 30 below winters are killing me.

Oopsie, I missed this. (belated) Happy Canada Day. I'm a lot of miles and years away but one day I might just find my way back (when the UK finally decides I've outstayed my welcome and kicks me out).
