Topic: Things Canadians are proud of...

[TraumaTech]

Here are reasons why it's so great to be Canadian!

Things Canadians are proud of...

Smarties.

Crispy Crunch.

Coffee Crisp.

The footballs and fields are bigger, and we have one less Down.

Lacrosse is Canadian.

Hockey is Canadian.

Basketball is Canadian.

The biggest flags ever seen/flown at any Olympics were Canadian... The second time it was smuggled in because they made a rule against it cause of the first time.

Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass.

Much Music kicks MTV's ass.

Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths ass (...don't know about Aunt Jemima though).

Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin Donuts ass.

Waaaay better beer commercials/contests and beer company give a ways. Example: the Molson Canadian House Party...where you get to keep the house. Trashed or not.

In the war of 1812, we pushed the Americans so far back... passed their 'White House', burned it...and most of Washington. We got bored because they ran away so we came home and partied. Go figure.

Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.

The largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war.

The Canadian Civil War was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.

We don't marry our kin-folk.

We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, the long distance and short wave radios that save countless lives each year.

Oh yeah...and the handles on beer cases big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.

We've ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.

We can out drink Americans in a heart beat!!

Our elections take only one day.

Here are reasons why it's so great to be Canadian!

Things Canadians are proud of...

*well, you asked for it, eh*

Re-electing the Liberal Party over and over again so that rampant corruption and kickbacks can take place with Ad firms in Quebec.  J'inn would be so proud.

*don't think everyone in the US don't know about the most corrupt gov't. in Canadian history that Canadians are eager to re-elect over and over again*

Have a good day in Canada where the Liberal party considers your tax money to be their money, eh?!

For sure, eh?!

source: http://www.ctv.ca/generic/WebSpecials/sponsorship_scandal/

Just follow stinking smell.

In his testimony, ad executive Jean Brault took the sponsorship inquiry on a dark journey of alleged political corruption, the likes of which Canadians have never seen.




Now, you can go design a D2 dyna campaign. Just don't involve any Liberal party brown nosing Ad firms, OK?

[IndyShark]

I love real Canadian beer from Canada (why do we get the imported junk?) and the Windsor Ballet!

 What does all this have to do with D2 ?Oh I can hear Likkerpig now.

I AM AMERICAN...
I'm not particularly intelligent, open-minded, or generally well-liked.

I don't live in a clean place, I don't eat nutritiously very often, and I don't drive well.

I don't know Shakespeare, Da Vinci or Gutenberg.

Although I'm certain they weren't American.

I drink beer.....not good beer. I don't use utensils when eating.

I believe in guns for settling disputes, not discussions.

And I pronounce it AIN'T, not AREN'T.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack

...until I go anywhere, and what's the point in doing that.

Burger King IS fine dining. Cracker Jack IS a vegetable and WWF wrestling is real.

The UNITED STATES is the ONLY country in the world,

The FIRST nation of ignorance, and the BEST part of South America!

My name is Johnny Bob Jimmy Joe Ray...

...AND I AM AMERICAN!

[likkerpig]

What does all this have to do with D2 ?Oh I can hear Likkerpig now.

Huh?
 I keep my Lie-beral bashing to the hot and spicy. Yankee bashing now, well that is a cross-forum multi-cultural thing....

Just kidding, I love you Yankee's like the mentally challanged little brother I never had!

[FPF-Wanderer]

The footballs and fields are bigger, and we have one less Down.

-True, but then again, you get all the cast-off American college players and the NFL cherry-picks the good ones.

Hockey is Canadian.

-Yes it is, and thank goodness.

Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass.

-Doubtful, considering Mr. Rogers was an ex-Navy Seal with 24 confirmed kills.

Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths ass...

Ok, can't argue there.

[FPF-DieHard]

TT...while I appreciate your nationalism with the utmost respect...such posts are really off topic to this specific forum...

I mean no disrespect when I ask that such off topic posts be placed in the appropriate forums in the future...

While I clearly understand the desire to connect with fellow SFC players on social issues...this forum is not necessarily the correct place to do so...a lot of game specific information flows on this forum...and it should be as uncluttered as possible.....for gamers needs...

A posted thread in the appropriate forum and a posted link from this one would be the desired procedure...and thus...people would respond where the thread was posted...

I certainly dont mean to "get all moderator" on your butt......but the goal for these forums is to be self moderating...as such...the above is a simple request for forum synconicity...not a directive.

Thanks.

PS...we keep a case of hockey pucks at each canadian border station in case of canadian invasion...the theory is to throw the pucks out and distract the troops

Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass.

Ernie Coombs was born in Lewiston, Maine on November 26, 1927. He studied commercial art but an interest in theatre led to painting scenary. In the earlier part of his career, he worked with Pittsburgh Miniature Theatre, a touring children's theatre, and at WQED-TV. In 1963, he met Fred Rogers and came with Fred to Canada to work as a puppeteer on Mr Rogers. When Rogers returned to the United States the following year, Coombs hosted Butternut Square where he played the popular Mr. Dressup. In 1967, the CBC decided to give Mr. Dressup his own show which was a hit with children, airing every weekday morning for the next 30 years. Coombs became a Canadian citizen in 1994. He received the Earle Grey Award for excellence in TV in 1994, a Gemini award for best performance in a children's program, and the Order of Canada in 1996. Coombs retired from Mr. Dressup in 1996 where afterwards he performed charity work, appeared in theatrical productions for children and made personal appearances around the country for all his fans, young and old.

[Pestalence_XC]

James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891. James Naismith  was born in Almonte, Ontario and educated at McGill University and Presbyterian Cllege in Montreal. He was the physical education teacher at McGill University (1887 to 1890) and at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts (1890 to 1895). At Springfield College (which was then the Y.M.C.A. training school), James Naismith, under the direction of American phys-ed specialist Luther Halsey Gulick, invented the indoor sport of basketball.

TraumaTech.. get your facts streight.. Yes the inventor was Canadian, but he had to get US Visa and help from a US University in Massachusettes, and help from an American PE Specialist in order to create it.. as such, the sport is American in origin.

Why worry about Montreal J'inn, remember the states has South Beach

I love South Beach but there are two problems:

1)   The cost of doing business is Very High

2)   Sometimes you get surprised.   Damn cross dressers.

This same rumor has often been applied to boyish country singer-songwriter John Denver (among others), and it's just as false when told of Fred Rogers. Not only did Fred Rogers never serve in the military, there are no gaps in his career when he could conceivably have served in the military — he went straight into college after high school, he moved directly into TV work after graduating college, and his breaks from television work were devoted to attending the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1963) and the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Child Development. Moreover, Fred Rogers was born in 1928 and was therefore too old to have enlisted in the armed services by the time of America's military involvement in Vietnam.

I've heard of that before, and it is not true.  Biggest thing is, a lot of people got Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo confused.  The Captain wasn't a SEAL, but he was a war vet in WWII.

Actually there are (or were ) a few in Ontario from the local Microbreweries and one or two in Quebec.
I'll se if I can find the names for you- One of the Unfortunate trends in recent years is theat all the

I've moved to NS, and been to busy (geez that sounds pathetic) to get out and party down here
to find out what the local mircobrews are. (so now that i have free time to run a server why am I again?)

I'm quite sure by the time you and DH finish hammering me over Mirror² I'll have discovered
everything there is to know about the local alcohol situation 
(I'll be sure to lay in  stock before I even begin to discuss KCW)

LOL

Well I like most of your setup (providing no x-ships), but I can't say I agree with a scheme that makes a player worth more VCs if he gets more kills, kinda seems like punishing sucess.  If you beat the top guys that is reward enough in itself I think, no need to put a VC bonus on them that might make em fly diferently than normal, I know I wouldn't want to finally beat Die Hard but only because he was flying too cautiously.  We both put our ships on the map let the rewards be the same. 

[Age]

Capt Kirk is canadian (Montrealer)
Spock is a yankee (born same year as shatner just too far south)
McCoy is a good ol boy (atlanta born 11 years earlier, well at least he aint a yankee)

What about James Doohan?Yes our microbrews have some powerful punch to them although I can't testify to this as I don't drink but other I know have told me what they are like.

Ok how to start a flame war in 2 easy steps


Things for Canadians to be proud of ..

1) Battle of Quebec 1759   -- time to help the yanks out with this one-- Wolfe defeats Montcalm -- leads to the treaty of Paris 1763-- and France  has now lost control of the new world--

2) Umm christ don't hang me for this one .... Tricking the American gov't into spending their tax dollars on Canadian National Defence.

True story ... eh ...

The US is currently in the process of purchasing 130+ new helicopters to replace some of the older ones we have.  The competition is basically between the US company Sikorsky and the AugustaWestland EH101 (renamed US101 after Lockheed and Bell joined in to give it a bit more US flavor ... and political backing).

So anyway I'm at a conference where Augusta brought in an EH101 from the CDF to demonstrate the aircraft's capabilities and discuss the airframe.  Part of the demo was a Q&A session with a CDF pilot who had more time in the 101 than any other pilot (don't know if that is true or not, but the guy did have a couple thousand+ in the airframe, so close enough for me).  The EH101 is a very good aircraft, so we were looking forward to talking with the pilot and learning more about the aircraft.

Now, keep in mind, if this had been a Sikorsky sales pitch (and lets face it, we all knew this basically was a sales pitch), they would have brought in one of their 6-digit a year test pilots who knows how to spew the party line.  Unfortunately for Augusta ... they brought in a CDF pilot who really didn't have a dog in the fight.

So the Q&A starts and one of the first questions asked is "What's the top speed?" (pretty basic softball stuff here I figure).

The CDF guy responds (I paraphrase) "Well they say 170-som'thin, but if you go above 145, it shakes like a banshee."  Chuckling a little, we all steal a glimpse at the Augusta rep as he is starting to squirm a bit.

Next question ... "What's the advantage behind the three engine design?" (again, imho, a softball question).

Realizing his last response drew a rather positive reaction from his listening audience, our CDF 'sales rep' announces ... "Outside of eating up more gas, not much."

Serious laughter did ensue.

About then, the Augusta guy had had enough and started to provide most of the answers and the session became rather dull.



Needless to say ... the CDF pilot didn't have to buy any drinks at the bar that night.  We thought he was great.

Hoi Folks,

Why not make the Mirror, Mirror campaign a Canadian vs Unitied States game?

 Sounds great! If Canada wins, the Yanks have to do either one of two things.

1) Remove all peoples from Cape Hatterius, and sink it.

2) Reclaim an island off your Atlantic coast in such a location as the Gulf Stream is diverted towards Nova Scotia.

If the Yanks win, Canada will sign on to Missle Defence.


Deal?

Take care

Hoi TobinDax,

 Trust me, diverting the Gulf Stream is way better then getting Florida, besides we are already overrunning Florida one trailer park at a time with our crack "Snowbird" units. BTW we may need to sign up for Missle Defence if we win anyways. As soon as those pomies have their first real winter they will come looking for their nice warm North Atlantic Current.

Take care

Sounds great! If Canada wins, the Yanks have to ...

1) Remove all peoples from Cape Hatterius, and sink it.

Cool.  I'm rotting fur on that one.  But do we have to remove all the people first?


As for Canada signing the missile defense treaty ... right ... how about a payoff worth something.  Something that would improve all of America.
TAKE BACK CELINE DION!

Hoi Green,

TAKE BACK CELINE DION!

 Never! We gave her to you with a no return policy attached! Your welcome. hehe

I have not actually been to Cape Hatteras, I have only know it from maps, and, its coastal geography; salt marshes, barrier islands that kind of stuff, so your call on what to do with the people living there if any, I'm not bothered one way or the other. I just think that Iceland, and  the British Isles have had that lovely North Atlantic Current (the Gulf Stream is the name of the current from the Gulf of Mexico until about half way accross the Atlantic where the name changes. No I do not know why.) for long enough I do know why it doesn't just flow up the coast though, its that darn Cape Hatteras! In the stead of warm tropical breezes we get the Labrador Current, frigid winds, storms, massive fog banks blown in from the Grand Banks where the two currents do eventually meet. Please undestand I have enjoyed the outdoors, land and sea, of NS in all weather and will continue to do so, but, a change is as good as a vacation. hehe

Take care

+1 Karma.

Not because of the joke, but just because I saw you were at 99.  That's such a sad number to be stuck at.

Well, some Canadians that influenced pop culture and our view of Star Trek and SFC/SFB:

Kinda say's it all. (Actually just felt like putting it there)


Ah, our  beloved engineer. Notice that Canadians can hold their liqueur


And the Captain, to which we all aspire to when we play SFC


Or Klingon if you prefer


Die Hard in disguise, with his hands full of a Canadian Actress. Does anybody notice a pattern yet? 


But Die Hard actually wanted this Helmsman


But they would do (Thats DH in the Helmsman seat wondering what the Klingon word for threesome is?)
