Canada is the best country in the world. Period. We give the world all the great hockey players.

Problem is, no other country plays that much hockey.

You guys lost that title when Tampa Bay beat you in hockey. A Canandian team got beaten in hockey by a team from a place that has NO NATURAL ICE.

You wanna do something fun? Get a T-shirt that says "Hockey, an American tradition." and where it in Canada. They all point and laugh. LMAO :)

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I assume your talking about Britain, and well actually almost every old country tried it but i think it was Rome that started it. You know the Roman Empire.

My country made hockey (Good!), my computer (Okay), The Avro Arrow (Woulda been great, but cancelled.), Me (Awesome). My country has the best beer, and Billy Talent. The Cananimators originated in my country. Some other good stuff, some crappy stuff.

[sigh] I said the great hockey PLAYERS, not great hockey teams. You make a list of all the great hockey players in the league today, and the majority of them are either Canadian or European. Just because Calgary (a team that wasn't supposed to get past the first round) lost in the final game of the Stanley Cup Final does not mean that the States have better hockey players. Mario Lemiuex? Canadian. Joe Sakic? Canadian. Wayne Gretzky, greatest hockey player ever? Canadian. The list goes on and on.

Actually that was just a joke that I ripped from Conan O'Brien's monologue.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

What can I say about my country?

Well... I was always told that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all....


So I'll say only one thing: The Grand Canyon is the most beautiful thing on this Earth that I've seen... Simply amazing... unreal.

Well, not the most beatiful thing... Its the most beautiful land feature... But the most beautiful thing award goes to this one girl I met in New Mexico.... (wow!)

Canada: we are the first and i believe still the only country to win independence without a war. A Canadian formed the UN peacekeepers. The Canada Arm. Only country to have invaded the USA. Has never gone below 10th for best country to live in by the UN.

  • 08.22.2004 5:22 PM PDT

We invented the basics of astrophysics, the laws of motion, the television, the computer, America, powered flight (although the guy died before he could ever test it), English - the list goes on. But its biggest claim to fame is that I was born here. And so was Frankie.

Anyway, if this turns into a "my country is better than yours" pissing contest then this thread will be quickly locked.

Its funny though because Tampa Bay has more Canadian players than Calgary, which is sad, and the only reason that they won, Canada has the talent, its just the states have the money.

Canada has invented the phone, we have the fastest man in the world, the only war between us and the USA, we won, and burned the whitehouse down no less! We are far more popular and liked than the United States globally. We dont have power hungry war mongering leaders that attack countries for no reason, and then steal their oil, making gas/oil prices to sky rocket over the rest of the world. We dont take immigration as a game. (In the States if an immigrant lands illegally into the States on a boat, and they make it up to the shore without the Coastgaurd catching them they can stay in America. We dont have terrorists attacking us, our education system is better, our healthcare system is FAR SUPERIOR to yours. I was talking to an american and he said it would cost him 2000$ to pull 4 wisdom teeth, FOUR! And he has insurance! I believe Canada invented the car. We did better in World War 2 than the Americans, in World War 1 at Ypress Canada was bombed with gas, we had to piss on rags and cover our mouths with it so survive, and then beat back a German advance no less! We took Vimmy Ridge in a very short time with minimal casualties. Canada invented Hockey, Canada is not a pack of power hungry ego-tistic people like most are from the States. (Notice I said most, I do know quite a few respectable Americans, so you guys do have good people down there.) WE have far less shootings and murders per year. And we also have the longest coastline in the world, and are the second biggest courty in the world. Go Canada!!!
