1. I love the way you Canadian's heads are split in two and the top flops around when you speak.
And for the record, you folks DON'T look like ash trays.

6. Timmy's!
Tim Horton coffee was a godsend more than once.

I used to run auto body parts out of the Twinsburg stamping plant to Chrysler Assembly in Windsor, and right when you got out of the gate was a Timmy's.

Nothing like getting a cup of coffee that was heated to the temperature of molten lava to wake you up at 0315 in the morning.

I wear they use surplus US Navy nuclear reactors to heat their coffee.

7. All your great comedians/comedic actors.
Martin Short, Mike Myers, Dan Akroyd, Phil Hartman :( , Eugene Levy, etc. etc.

- Your healthcare system.

- You don't shoot missiles at us over the border.

- You are very polite people.

- You make lots of good "lifestyle" shows like on weight loss and home decorating. I'm a sucker for that stuff. :)

- Victoria Island. I can't wait to go. Never been there, but I know I'll love it.

11. Proud Canadian
I live in Canada,and it's all I have ever known.

Anyways,I like the fact that ppl here seem laid back,
and really down to Earth and friendly.

Very multi-cultural country,and we luv our beer,and our
Tim Hortons!

Molson Canadian is a guilty pleasure of mine.

12. Canadians
Every opportunity I've ever had to interact with a Canadian has been pleasant. I'm sure there are a****les in Canada as there are anywhere else in the world but I've never met one.

As a country, Canada has always stepped up and done what was asked of her.

Thankyou Canada.

25. Tim Hortons
I wish the Tim invasion would spread faster. It's not fair that only Michigan, Ohio and New York get them, and not the rest of the border states.

27. It's clean.
I've only been to Canada once, several years ago. I was staying at a campground in Montreal, and I remember being amazed at how clean the campground bathrooms were.

Also, the people were very friendly. :)
