canada, eh?

- today is canada day, and i will inform you of why it is great.

1. we're athletic. baseball, lacrosse, hockey, and basketball are all canadian. on the other hand, with the current state of baseball and hockey, and the way the nba draft went for the only canadian team, the raptors, and the fact that we're the only country who really seems to enjoy lacrosse, i'm not sure we have much to be proud of anymore.

2. we're tough. we have the largest french population to never surrender to the british, and the largest english population to never surrender to anyone, anywhere. also? the average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.

3. we're smart. we invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, and superman. our elections take only one day (a cheap shot, i know), and the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.

4. we have excellent beer commercials. here's my personal favourite.
