25 Reasons Why Canada Rocks

[Gypsyangel 11]

I didn't even know there was a Canadian version of the Huffington Post .... I love how ketchup chips are the #1 reason ....

t's a pretty amazing time to be a Canadian. We are the envy of dozens of nations around the world. We've dodged the economic crisis that's rattled the U.S., Europe and other parts of the world. We smell good. But there are other smaller, more palpable reasons why this country of ours is one of the best places to be. With Canada Day just around the corner we asked Huffington Post Canada editors and writers for reasons why our country is just plain awesome and came up with a list that touches on everything from ketchup chips to Ryan Gosling. We hope you enjoy it.

What about ending statements with "eh" - rather peculiar and cute

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Statements don't end in "eh" .. questions do!

I'm pretty sure I've heard "I know, eh" uttered as a statement.

That's like saying "I know, right?" which I don't really consider a statement.

This list is cute. I wish that Canadians didn't always feel the need to compare themselves to the US, though. Canada's awesome all on its own.

I see this thread as a declaration of war against the rest of this site.

If the Canada region forum wishes to secede from American-VJ it will have a fight on its hands.

All credibility lost with ties to the monarchy.

It's hilarious that a country that pushed so hard to free itself from the monarchy still bows down. Hell, even the queen is still on all the money!

With Canada Day just around the corner ...

Yeah, your summer weekend is just around the corner too. Don't blink, you might miss it.

Of course over half of those things are reasons Canada doesn't rock

Yep... That would be as preposterous as America being Britain's biggest and strongest ally, after all the lives that were lost in the process of freeing itself so hard from its influence...

I see a lot of misinformed statements.

While I think Canada is a pretty amazing country, I really did cringe at how that article was written and the comparisons to the US. It's like saying "I am better than you and this is why." It's exactly the type of thing I hate seeing/reading/hearing about when the US does it. Canada is awesome. The US is awesome. Canada sucks at some things. The US sucks at some things.

Having said all that, I am looking forward to building my inukshuk for Canada Day.

how does the P4P baddest man on the planet not make the top 25?

somebody needs to complain to the editor.

I normally wouldn't be caught dead reading The Huffington Post, but I thought that was pretty good. My favorite points being coffee crisp and Ryan Gosling (of course...)

[Ban Hammer 12,867]

they didn't mention timbits
