>11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and most of Washington. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home and partied...Go figure None taken, but it's not true. Yes, we may have started it :eek: (would that surprise anyone?) but you guys didn't just go home. After ya's burned the white house down, a tornadoe killed a lot of the British/Canadian forces. Karma? I think so, hehehe jk.:icon_bigg
Yes our candy is definitely quite awesome. Definitely! Yes... but sadly HBC is now American-owned. Oh how I hate transnational corporations. *sigh* Not true. Yep... which is quite hilarious. Or at least he co-created him. YES! Our money is second only to the Australians! So very pretty!
JOEY! you've never gotten your toungue stuck to anyhting!?! LOl i have gotten mine stuck to my zipper on my coat and my key that was outside for a day (lol dont ask)
I may have gotten it stuck to a cute boy but I don't think that's what you're referring to... :icon_twis
I HATE Tim Hortons. It's overrated. I prefer Robin's Donuts. Especially the one in my city because they have pizza! And it's awesomecore.
actually 1 thing wrong here jet-skis were invented in new Zealand, there's probably some other things wrong but I'm not gonna rain on your parade
um, they forgot something important. Canada dry ginger ale, like my favorite soda. Plus, I've been to Canada once, hot guy percentage is quite good.
