Congrats, Rumpy, on your Tigers bowl victory. My Dawgs got their bowl trophy too, by winning over the Horned Frogs. Have to say, the Horned Frogs is a fun name for a football team.
I'll have a few ice cold beers, and maybe some nachos.

195. Canada has never possessed any nuclear warhead; at its peak in 1975, the USA possessed 27,500 of them.
And yep, those are the exact same kind of warheads that were launched against Japan in 1945 and that can each destroy an entire city.
I know some patriotic imbeciles from the USA will be tempted to turn that fact to their own merit, but I'd personally much rather live in an overall peaceful country that's well-loved all around the world than a militaristic one that imposes itself as a mindless bully to every other nation.
C'mon, this thread has had great support from US Lushies, there is no need to throw shit our way. We generally hold our Canadian neighbors in very high regard. This thread is Sprite's creation at having good peaceful fun. Let's please keep it that way.

75. During the 1979-1980 Iranian Hostage Crisis, in which the Iranians attacked and overran the US Embassy, the Americans who escaped were hidden and given refuge by the Canadians. The Canadians then helped them sneak out of Iran to safety. The Canadians did this at their own risk and peril. In times of crisis, you find out who your friends are. Thanks, Canada!
Bravo!

37. Burned down the White House in 1812 (ok,maybe the British did it, but they were British living in Canada at the time)
Actually, it was 1814.
Those British Canadians actually did two big favors to the USA. First one. The Presidential Palace was not white at the time. After being burned, it was necessary to paint it to cover the burn marks. We painted it white, hence the term, 'The White House', which is a much better marketing name than The Presidential Palace. So a big advertising win for the USA. Thanks!
Second thing. Those same soldiers that burned 'The White House', who were under the command of British General Ross, marched on over to Baltimore a few weeks later. There General Ross met his personal doom at the hands of an American sniper. His army collapsed into chaos and defeat after he was shot, and they had to scurry back to the safety of the British ships, who had lost their half of the battle also. Then as they left defeated, they were forced to look at a huge, brand new American flag, flying defiantly at them, from Fort McHenry, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star Spangled Banner.
So, Thanks! It all worked out well in the wash. Your American friends got a great marketable term and a national anthem out of it all. A century later, the USA, Canada, and The UK permanently cemented their ally status. And The UK figured out that when it comes time for their colonies to go independent, just let them do it with their blessing. As they did with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and so forth. Maybe could've done a better job with India, though, but still, they figured out, fighting wars with their offspring probably wasn't the best policy. Wars suck anyhow.
PS. Do y'all claim Justin Beiber? Just asking.

Netherlands: 2001 (my brother celebrated his 15 year marriage to his husband this year).
And we've had tactile markings on our paper money for ages too. And we don't need to keep our cars unlocked as we don't even have polar bears. And one could buy pot here for decades without fear of legal punishment. So where's our thread?
Warning! You're not supposed to mention countries that don't have polar bears and/or a Stanley Cup in this thread. Doing so could result in Sprite administering a spanking.

The vast majority of them live in a very close proximity to the US border because they ALL plan to invade. They've been scheming for years. They're trying to lull us into complacency with all this very friendly stuff they do. Always acting nice, having legal prostitution, running around Florida with frighteningly pale skin. Yep, they're a sneaky bunch. Before ya know it, we're all gonna be required to salute Canadian Mounties and say 'Eh.' They make us think they are Dudley Dooright when they are really Snidely Whiplash.
I recommend you all watch the movie, 'Canadian Bacon.' Isn't that a Michael Moore documentary?

20. Canada’s name comes from a misunderstanding between Jacques Cartier and some Iroquois youth who were pointing out a village (for which they used the word “Kanata”). They were actually trying to identify the small area which is present day Quebec City, but Cartier used the similar-sounding word “Canada” to refer to the whole area. Oops!
21. Proof that Canadians are never in a hurry. Canada officially got its own national flag on February 15, 1965 — almost 100 years after it became a country (in 1867).
22. Of the 5 Normandy beaches attacked by the Allies on D-Day, June 6, 1944, one was taken by the Canadians (Juno beach). (2 by the USA and 2 by the UK.)
23. The border between Canada and the United States is officially known as the International Boundary. At 5,525 miles, including 1,538 miles between Canada and Alaska, it is the world's longest border between two nations. And it is militarily undefended. (And the rumor is that Dancing_Doll stood naked with one foot in Canada and one foot in the United States. I for one, easily believe that.)
Eh.
