Well, if it matters, Molson was acquired by Coors, an American company.

America is not perfect, but guns are not the problem.

Canadians are.

Just kidding.

well like i said previously, madman here doesnt speak for most of the candians on this site, but I had to say that bashing all of us because of one guys statements is a little ludicrous. Actually a canadian did invent the electric lightbulb. His name was Henry Woodward, and he sold the patent to Edison in 1874. Alexander Graham Bell was the first to patent the telephone, but he was neither American NOR canadian, he was born in scotland. moved to Canada and than a year later to america. The Pacemaker was invented Dr. John A. Hopps in 1950. Insulin was discovered by Dr. Fredrick Banting in 1922. The programming language JAVA was in invented by James Gosling in 1994. Odometer was invented in 1854 by Samuel McKeen. Plexiglass was invented in 1931 by William Chalmers. Portable Film Developing was patented first by Arthur Williams McCurdy in 1890 but sold the patent to George Eastman in 1903. The first Quartz clock was developed by Warren Marrison. My point is canada has contributed alot of wonderful things, the list goes on, all i did was google "canadian Inventions" Im also sure america has contributed alot of amazing things too. I think its pointless to debate wether my country is better than yours, its a biased argument on both sides and nothing would ever be solved. I will also say again that if the US/Canadian border were closed both countries would suffer as each other are the opposites number one trading partner. And as for the germans or english ruling us if it wasnt for america? I find that funny because Canada became its own country on its own, we didnt need any other countries help.

1. We're bigger


2. We are still the most multicultural nation on earth
you are? how do you figure?

4. We don't all live squished together in teeny little houses in cities where you can't even see the sky because of all the smog
apparently you havent actually looked at some people's houses in the pics forum. Ive visited neighborhoods in Vancouver and they look just like my neighborhood

5. We know some things about the U.S., whereas they know nothing about us (ever seen the show "talking to Americans?")
who wants to know anything about Canada? seriously? people in foreign nations, across the world, learn English so that they can deal with us, not Canada.


6. Even our big cities are clean
I visited Vancouver. Not a very big city, and not that clean.

7. Here you can walk down the street and say hi to perfect strangers without getting arrested and thrown into an asylum
same here

8. We don't expect people to like us or respect us, but they do. The U.S. seems to have gotten that backwards
the respect is abundant

9. The beaver is a truly proud and noble animal
wtf? should have gone with the moose

10. Canadian beer doesn't taste like polluted water
er, that's subjective. i prefer Mexican beer.

11. Our nuclear power is safer and cheaper than yours
um, ok.

12. We actually have natural resources
we do too, we just prefer to use those belonging to others so we can preserve ours.

13. Trees are something that can be found everywhere, not just in certain protected areas
even California has tons of trees, let alone the rest of the US.

14. Our accents don't sound vulgar
no, they sound gay (happy)

15. Our system of government doesn't even remotely resemble Naziism
no, Nazis had ambition, and a real army.

16. Six feet of snow doesn't slow us down any. Two inches of snow and New York is closed for a week.
I guess they should all get some snowmobiles.

17. Everyone in Canada has at least some rudimentary knowledge of what a farm is
my 4 year old daughter knew what a farm was, and visited some, when she was two. Do you know what "cumbia" is? she does.

18. There's been a woman Prime Minister
well there's your first problem.

19. Tim Hortons. No matter where you go in Canada, you can always get good food at the local Tim Horton's. In the U.S. the best you can do is the International House of Pancakes, or McDonalds.
wth is Tim Hortons? funny how you know American eateries but we dont know any Canadian ones. or wait, are you going to tell me that Black Angus was started in Canada? please, you cant go 2 miles in LA without finding an excellent restaurant to eat at.

20. Our flag is original. No other country in the world has a leaf on their flag. How many countries do you see with stars and/or stripes on their flags? It's boring and old.
a leaf? that is exciting to you? well get this, CA has a badass grizzly bear on its flag, but its no leaf.


21. When I went to Florida last March I saw maybe 2 hot guys the whole trip.
wtf? im not gonna touch that one with a ten foot pole. probably all sticky...

22. Wildlife in Canada does not consist solely of the rats that raid the garbage at night
no, you have moose, beavers, and bears. im sure there are much more than that but not even the variety that the US has to offer.

23. We don't have to buy our drinking water from other countries
um...ok...i buy bottled water that comes from a water filtration store down the street.

24. Acceptance. Canada was the first country in the world to allow homosexual couples to marry, the second to give female equality, and the first to have more than one national language

yeah, that dual language thing was a big hit all over the nation wasnt it?

25. I live here
well, youre still part bastard American so you still suck.

you forgot 26. we took your hockey!

and btw, just because some Japanese and American manufacturers make some cars there, doesnt make them Canadian down the street is a Chinese restaurant, it's made here in the US but that doesnt make it American food.


and your 25 "reasons" why Canada is better than the US are hardly reasons at all.

I must say if it wasn;t for USA, canda would go under. To prove this statment look at CIA statistics factbook

here it is ladies. Fact

Exports account for roughly a third of GDP . Canada enjoys a substantial trade surplus with its principal trading partner, the United States, which absorbs more than 85% of Canadian exports.
Exports - partners:
US 85.2% , Japan 2.1%, UK 1.6% july 17th(2005)
Labor force - by occupation:
agriculture 3%, manufacturing 15%, construction 5%, services 74%, other 3%.
Seems services is all u guys in canada can do hmm??

Exports - partners:
Canada 23% hmmm wow we really need u guys, compared to u needing us to live.

OWNAGE WOW

Also ur stupid comment about size?? Man stop telling lies,
This is land, not including water. You guys mesure your country by counting the water regions with your land . Here is the the real land measurements.
canada=9,093,507 sq km land
USA =9,161,923 sq km land



Also quebec follows french laws, not egnlish laws. The rest of of country is english law.
Your country even has another country laws placed into yours. WE don't!!

Man power for your military??= male and female 223,821 people.
MAn power for our military =males: 2,143,873
females: 2,036,201
I would hate for us to battle.



Look everything right here.
Sorry USA is fair superior.

One of the more sensible voices in this topic. I did enjoy Canada, and wouldn't hesistate to move up there if not for the cold temperatures. (New England's below-0 Fahrenheit cold spells are bad enough!)

I feel that Mad_Medeiros has never set foot in the States. If that is true, then his comments are null and void. Most of them are nullified by stupidity anyway.
I won't touch other points except for geography:
FWIW ... I live in the middle of *several* farms (most of which have their own vegetable or dairy stands, including delicious ice cream and milk in glass bottles ... and all that green tubing running from maple tree to maple tree along my road each spring). You can see the stars clear as day from my house, even though there is a small city (population 175000) not ten miles north. And New York certainly doesn't shut down for two inches of snow ... but Maryland does.
