The front of our one dollar bill shows a picture of our fearless first president, George Washington, who gave the British a royal beat down. The front of the Canadian one dollar coin shows a picture of a duck. Actually it's a loon, which is why the coin is called a "loonie". Need I say any more?<BR/><BR/>One word for US money: boring<BR/><BR/>2. Two words: Chuck Norris<BR/><BR/>We don't need Chuck Norris when we can kill you with laughs. Consider, John Candy, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Lorne Michaels<BR/><BR/>3. Canada is ruled by a queen. We on the other hand have a guy from Texas who likes to eat his meat raw. AND, our vice president is known for shooting people. I'll take W over Queen Elizabeth in a cage match any day.<BR/><BR/>We stopped being ruled by the queen a long time ago and in fact we have a Christian Prime Minister<BR/><BR/>4. We have Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, and Rocky. Canada has...mounties? You'd think they could at least come up with a better name.<BR/><BR/>Jack Bauer aka Kiefer Sutherland is actually Canadian, so the truth is you needed a Canadian to protect your country from impending doom.<BR/><BR/>5. The Canadian military currently has approximately 65,000 troops. The US has approximately 1.3 million. Of course our troops aren't called "mounties", which does make a significant difference.<BR/><BR/>We didn't need that many troops to keep you out in 1812<BR/><BR/>6. A significant portion of our population enjoys watching race cars go in circles at 200 mph for up to 500 laps. That says dedication. This same population enjoys shooting things.<BR/><BR/>We play hockey and have players that play games with torn acl's and get stitched up on the bench with no freezing.<BR/><BR/>7. We invented the Big Mac, the Whopper, the Super Size, and the 64 oz Slurpee. Of course this is also why we need privatized health care, but that's besides the point.<BR/><BR/>We invented the telephone<BR/><BR/>8. Unlike Canada, and the rest of the world, we refuse to go metric. We don't want to use a system where everything divides nicely into 10's, 100's, and 1000's. No, we would rather remember figures like 5,280 feet and 16 oz.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that's a reason to rejoice, refusing to join the rest of the world in this is simply a mark of arrogance<BR/><BR/>9. Our national anthem is entitled "The Star Spangled Banner", a stirring title that evokes patriotism and pride from even the most cynical heart. The Canadians managed to come up with the creative title "O Canada" for their national anthem.<BR/><BR/>Our national anthem unlike yours actually mentions God in it<BR/><BR/>10. Us Christians carry around large, oversized study Bibles, that weigh somewhere between 50 and 300 pounds (not kilos). If necessary, these could be used as weapons (in a loving and gentle way).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604927782599259689.post-8378404799868420572008-01-18T07:54:00.000-05:002008-01-18T07:54:00.000-05:00Jennifer - Glad you enjoyed the post!
