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