I like Canada! Sometimes, though, I get the feeling that Canada and Canadians are kinda like a little brother to the US.

Not quite as big or smart or strong or good looking but always saying "Look at me! Look at me!!" Always trying to get the attention of the big brother and always hoping to grow up and be just like the big brother but knowing deep down inside that it will never happen.....

Just kidding! I really do like Canada and certianly respect the fact that it is UNLIKE the USA in many ways.

 

James Naismith invented basketball in Springfield Ma. but he was a Canadian

 

Ya right! It was invented in a school gym before you guys had gym's.
You guys converted American football and got the downs wrong.
You also converted to the metric system.

Name one of those movie star's or singer's that ever made it big w/o the USA, heck even the Beatles didn't make it big until the came here.

 

Man.... you guys are going crazy over this stuff....!
Well... at least Canada was settled first (1605 Port Royal, Nova Scotia), we are bigger, older, and a lot friendlier country.... Canada's more like a step-father, then a little brother

I could go on and fight, and argue, but I'm Canadian, I'll shut up, and let you American's think you're right,,,, just to save an argument.
Now .....how about some real beer for my canuck friends ?

 

You guys got the good beer that is for sure. Niether or us have anything on ireland when it comes to beer though.

 

Well, way back in the day my best friends cousin came down from Canada to spend the summer with him. His female cousin, two years older than myself. I, being fourteen and naive had no idea what to expect. Suffice it to say, by the time she left I was a lot less naive and had a great admiration for anything Canadian. Drink a Labatts for me, eh?

 

We're bigger and we're on top........if this was prison you'd be our

 

hmmm I've been censored
