Hey, Andrew Jackson beet the crap out of them at New Orleans. Even better, the peace treaty had already technically been signed. But no one told Andrew.

I do it more than once!

Other Canadian achievements:

Electric Light Bulb

In 1874, Henry Woodward, medical student from Toronto, patented the first incandescent lamp with an electric bulb, testing it successfully at 87 Woodward Street in Toronto.

He sold a share in the patent to Thomas Edison in 1875 and in 1879 Edison created a more practical version of the lamp leading to what we use today.

Credit Unions

The first credit union in North America was founded in Levis, Quebec on December 16, 1900.

Pablum

Pablum was invented by three doctors at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto in the late 1920's.

Since then, Pablum has generated substantial income for the HSC in the form of royalties donated to the hospital's Pediatric Research Foundation.


Standard Time

First suggested by Canadian Sir Sanford Fleming on February 8, 1879 at the Canadian Institue for the Advancement of Scientific Knowledge in Toronto.

On November 18, 1883, all North American railway companies adopted his idea and on January 1, 1885 Greenwich Mean Time was established and eventually adopted as the standard around the world.

and look what the nasty people south of you did to that fantastic inovation the electric wheel chair, they turn it from good to evil by taking the wheels off and frying people.

I think that's just the sport in many parts of the world. In my travels over the internet, I'd say that no more than three in five Canadians bash the U.S. relentlessly. This is a much better figure than some, I might add, as something on the order of eleven out of every ten Scots do so.


They have a great music scene these days, especially in Montreal.

I'd give them positive points for their quality of life as well. I've only been to the west coast portions of Canada, but loved it there.


I dunno, man. Just because you run into Canadians (or australians he whispers so very quietly) who do little but bash away, that doesn't mean you need to bash in return. Heck, every country has its good and bad points, and if you just bash away in return, all you've done is turn yourself into the person who's pissing you off.
