I guess the point of the thread is that IF Canada were to sink into the earth tonight would anyone notice?

It's my considered opinion that with the exception of a beautiful new US northern coast... that the answer is decidedly: NO.

I would like to know what good has canada given to the world. I have googled it and can't seem to find anything. I am looking for what canada (not what individual canadians have done) has done as a nation.
I can name two "most excellent" contributions by the Canadians.

The band "Rush"

and the DeHavilland Twin Otter, aircraft (STOL capabilities) Before I kick the bucket I want to fly one...but right now the closest I can get is flight sims.

Actually, I thought it was hysterically funny! Canadians do what the masses really are supposed to do............. They serve as a great example of what the world's masses could be with proper centralized leadership keeping things organized for them.
