Canadians - What have they ever given us?

OK, we had Americans and Brits so why not. Australians, you are next.

So what the hell have Canadians ever done for us?

ummmm...
thinking...
ummm..

I GOT ONE!!! Nope, sorry thats not Canadian.

still thinking...

ok, I can't think of anything other than showem and roots (few days early that could have been my website)

Alanis Morisette

Pamela Anderson

Eh?

Burned down the Whitehouse!

basketball
kerosene
Wayne Gretsky
more great actors than I have time to write

I was going to start the same poll about Aussies and Kiwis, Roots, you'll have to get onto them.

as silly as these threads are i have to post

Neil Young

Given Americans a reason to complain!

Joni Mitchell

Due South
I love that programme
both for the mounty and the dog, Diefenbecker (?)

and maple syrup, though afaik that's Quebecois, not Canadian

Alanis Morrisette
Avril Lavigne

and believe it or not, Pamela Anderson

- Given 56,500 of their sons in WWI
- Given 42,000 of their sons in WWII

BTO
The Guess Who
Rush

Oh yeah, the important one:

TRIVIAL PURSUIT

Everyone on this board's favourite past time.

... not

Don Cherry

Clothes with maple leaves on (and the market for said items)
The best cheesecake in Munich sold at Muffins and More in Neuhausen baked by the Canadian woman who runs it
Instant mashed potatoes
Canada Dry Ginger Ale

ok, I will add

Jim Carrey
Brian Adams
Alex Trebek
Peter Jennings

And here comes jml's fav.

[size=7]Celine Dion

Gilles Villeneuve

James Naismith! He then became the 1st coach of the University of Kansas (where he invented the game).

Hey as an American we need to blame somebody and that is where Canada comes in.
(J/K).. I like Canada and have several good friends from there. Besides I can get all the things that are banned from Cuba (stupid embargo!) there.

Wayne Gretzky

Big fuck off trees

Terence and Phillip

Leonard Cohen
Glenn Gould
Margaret Atwood

I guess I might as well mention it too to make a trio of Wayne Gretzkys

Lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, lakes, mountains, forests, zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ.

They're wonderful the first two days of the train ride from Toronto to Vancouver.

who is he anyway?

hockey star

nr 99

And of course his son Jaques Villeneuve

DrivinWest, he was still Canadian.

Oh, another one: practical extraction of insulin

Political asylum to Americans who didn't want to fight in Vietnam.

Any of those three alone are reason to bomb all ten million square kilometers of Soviet Canuckistan into a nuclear wasteland. And Celine Dion makes me drool at the thought of the next even-more-evil methods of mass destruction to be unleashed on the Great White North.

woof.

Cockroaches, spiders and Celine Dion will probably be the only higher life forms (loose use of the term) to survive a nuclear strike.

mounted police (arrr!)

eh sorry Willy...your not high up on the list. people to make fun of is more like eh. seriously we wonder at your identity confusion but complain? not really

lets see

-strange brew, one of the best dumbest films ever
-too many comedians to name
-something to annex...just kidding...somewhere to draft dodge/immigrate to is more like it
-creole/cajuns. SUPPOSEDLY some French peeps were chased out of Canada and landed down in Baton Rouge. The mix with the natives and Afrikaans created the culture. If thats true my taste buds thank each and every Canadian. If its not true, my bad I heard it somewhere.

Damn I would kill for some dirty rice, gumbo and shrimp brochette right about now.

so who's going to start the kiwi/aussie thread?

please note, despite path of other kiwi/aussie thread no digs will be made about thread starters nationality

But not a patch on his old man. Gilles was just dynamite.

Java program language

Muskol (a product made by Canadians, FOR Canadians!)

Canadarm

Laser sailboat

Superman

William Shatner.

Oh BadDoggie, if you don't like Celine Dion, how do you feel about your own Barbara Streisand?

Degrassi and its infinite incarnations. Loved those shows.
And of coarse the Edison Twins.

Fapster gets the prize!!!

/I heart William Shatner

i believe Canadians also invented: IMAX, the pacemaker, the zipper, acrylic, and the garbage bag.

boo ya

Kids in the Hall

Wyder's Cider

Almost forgot, BC bud!
