Umm you are clearly delusional. The funny thing is, this is ALL Canada has ever done. Way to name your complete history in a few lines.

 

Also, half your shit Alaska had first...

When presented with facts, Americans will usually just ignore them and try to insult. This is what has happened here.

 

Alaska has never done anything except provide a short burst of gold in its mining comminuty fyi.

 

Canada has done more for the world then the US has. Don't be a prude about it, the truth hurts doesn't it :(

You can find alot, I'm sure.

 

Myriad;559464']How do natural disasters count in this anyway?

 

Well, the thread was about how wonderful it is to live in Canada. I'm providing a 'reality check'.

True. But I gotta cause some trouble whenever I see you acting so smug about burning down the White House.

The funny thing is

Thats pretty interesting, since there was no such thing as a canadian at the time. The war of 1812 was a war between England and America. You were still just England's bitch at the time, we had taken care of that over 25 years prior.

 

The peace agreement at the end of the war left all pre-war country boundaries intact anyway.

 

 

Take Nelly Furtado, Alex Trebeck, and Martin Short back. We really don't need them.

umm the only thing Canada has to be proud of is Degrassi: The Next Generation

 

I love that show too much! I almost feel gay, I get so excited. ZOMG...LIKE SO MUCH DRAMA!:gay2:
