In Canada, we have two seasons...six months of winter and six months of
poor snowmobiling.
A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.
His friend Doug stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whacha get the case of beer
for?"
"I got it for my wife, eh." answers Bob.
"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade." (that would be Bob & Doug McKenzie of the Great White North)

Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.
We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.
Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.
We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!!
