I really like the summer in Vancouver. Too bad I wont be around for it this year... Winter here kinda sucks though.

Happy Canada Day even though I couldn't really care less.

In honour of Canada Day, I would like to post a little-sumpin' sumpin' that Canadians have used as an icon to represent themselves on the international stage. Something that represents who we really are. Something that has allowed us to live with pride:

A beer commercial.

I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader.
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled.
And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a prime minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it about, not aboot.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing.
Diversity, not assimilation.
And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch.
And it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed.
Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of hockey and the best part of North America.
My name is Joe, and I am Canadian!"

Good ol' Molson Canadian. The stuff memories are made out of.
The Americans have their draft and we have ours

Happy Canada Day!!!

One of the most famous things that happened in Montreal is the Montreal Screwjob at the 1997 Survivor Series where Canada's own famous pro wrestler "Bret Hitman Hart" got screwed after

Quote:

Vince, who was conveniently at ringside, yelled at Mark Yeaton(who was the timekeeper at that PPV) to, "Ring the bell, ring the bell!!!" Yeaton did as he was told and rang the bell. Both competitors jumped up and gave Vince a look of disbelief and right then and there Bret realized that he had been screwed. Shawn got out of the ring to confront McMahon saying, "No way! No way I'm taking the title", Vince told him to take the title or else. Shawn left and Bret just glared down at Vince. He then spit on him from the ring and Vince got out of the area. Bret destroyed $20,000 worth of camera equipment and went to the back, enraged.

He searched out Vince and found him in his office. The next time we see Bret his knuckles are swollen. He says that he found McMahon and, "decked him. I hit him as hard as I could". Vince is shown staggering out of his office with his son Shane in tow.

To this day Canada wresting fans still chant you screwed Bret to Earl Hebner (The referee in that match), Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon every time they see them whenever the WWE goes to Canada.

Other famous Canadaians that have also not been menioted in this topic:
Wayne Gretzky: Hockey player. highest scorer in history.

Jacques Villeneuve : IndyCar driver. 1995 Indy 500 winner, 1997 Formula One World Champion.

Rick Moranis : Comedian, Actor. "SCTV", "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"

Mike Myers: Comedian, Actor. a.k.a.: Dr. Evil in "Austin Powers "

Robert W. Service: Author. "The Shooting of Dan McGrew", "The Cremation of Sam McGee","Songs of a Sourdough"

Anyway once again HAPPY 138th BIRTHDAY CANADA!!!
