to get to your point, it's more what Canada has NOT done in the world that allows it to continue to be held in high international regard. wish we Americans could say the same

"Canadian contributions to the World" is what is showing on my monitor as the thread title, and my response, recognizing Canada's positive contributions to international relations, is consistent with that topic. so tell us what is shown to be the thread title/topic on your monitor ... and as you are banishing me you may want to also check the labels on your prescriptions because you are behaving as if you may be over-medicated

Im a big Hockey fan and im pretty sure Hockey was a Canadian invention.

They were a great help in Afghanistan and during WW2

But your missing the point.......

They gave us Trish Stratus, Pamela Anderson, Elisha Cuthbert, Estella Warren, and Shania Twain.


That right there says that Canada is A-OK in my book.

Oh yeah and they also gave us funny dudes like Jim Carrey, and Mike Myers.


Unfortunately they also gave us: Keanu Reeves, Hayden Christensen, Celine Dion, and Bryan Adams....

So I dont know if the reward is worth the pain they have caused....Ill keep looking at Elisha Cuthbert pictures and that should at least temporarily convince me that it is lol.

Can't forget about the Avro Arrow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CF-105_Arrow

It was an interceptor developed in the 1950s that was 20 years ahead of its time.

Unfortunately, the Conservatives scrapped the program in the 1959s along with the prototypes because it was "too expensive."

Most scientists went to the US. So basically the entire modern US airforce and space program were based on Canadian innovations.
