 GP> Pretty much singlehandedly won WW1 (Vimy Ridge, anyone?)

Calm down, man! I agree, we had a big role in BOTH world wars. But to say
that WE single-handedly won either of them suggests that the rest of the world
wasn't involved. Don't do that.

 GP> On 7-December-1941, ehjern tyhe Japanese bombed our ally's Pacific base,
 GP> we declared war in response, to Japan faster than they even did!  You
 GP> don't mess with our friends! PERIOD.

Well, that's true enough, by about three hours. The exact difference between
our different time zones...weird...

 GP> Are still best-loved in Europe for our work there in & after WW2
 GP> We were part of the coalition that hit the beaches on D-Day.

A part. Don't forget the contributions of the Brits and the Americans. Far
more of their lives were lost than the number of Canucks who went there.

 GP> On 9/11 we were right there with all sorts of assistance. We sent in
 GP> 100s of firemen & paramedics to scour the wreckage for survivers.

I don't know what we did for them on 9/11. I was too busy being stunned that
ANYONE would intentionally kill that many people, and themselves, at once.

 GP> We were instrumental in making the Northwest Passage navigable, by
 GP> inventing all sorts of quality icebreaker technologies/ships.

Do you really think anyone else would? The Northwest Passage is almost
literally Canadian waters!

 GP> I love Okanagan fruit & Purdy's cgocolate; both home-grown Canadian
 GP> products!

OMG! I grew up in the Okanagan Valley! Now, you're getting my camraderie!

The one thing that separates us from our neighbours, besides our spelling of
'neighbour', is pride. I'm sorry for playing Devil's Advocate here, but you
sound like a 'Murican living in Canada, to me. Don't let pride lead you
astray, fellow Canuck!

Nobody has ever had to say "Canada, fuck yeah!". Because we don't need to
remind the world. They already know.
