Happy Canada Day!

Canada kicks ass. It really does. What other country can boast that they have 1/5 of the world's fresh water supply, border on 3 oceans, have a population that is a decent size (especially considering the size of the country), and has such large areas of natural wilderness left. Here is my salute to things that are uniquely Canadian:

1. the loonie and toonie.
2. Beaver tails
3. best darn maple syrup
4. hockey and lacrosse
5. Screech
6. the Rockies
7. Bloody Caesars
8. national health care that is accessible to all
9. Niagara Falls
10. CN Tower
11. whales, polar bears, squirrels, beavers, raccoons, and grizzlies
12. the Prairies
13. Winnie the Pooh
14. The Guess Who, Tragically Hip, Jann Arden - artists who don't sell out (notice that Avril isn't on this list?)
15. penicillin
16. the telephone
17. David Suzuki
18. SCTV and Kids in the Hall (Canadians are funny!)
19. we make good beer (at least compared to American standards)
20. our peaceful diversity
