 MSGID: 1:153/757.0 e6ae311f TZUTC: -0800 CHARSET: LATIN-1 I know wwe got more than 2-3 Canadians in Fido -- how anout you-all poke in & sau a little some thing great you know Canada's done. Finem, i'll go first: Pretty much singlehandedly won WW1 (Vimy Ridge, anyone?) On 7-December-1941, ehjern tyhe Japanese bombed our ally's Pacific base, we declared war in response, to Japan faster than they even did! You don't mess with our friends! PERIOD. Are still best-loved in Europe for our work there in & after WW2 We were part of the coalition that hit the beaches on D-Day. On 9/11 we were right there with all sorts of assistance. We sent in 100s of firemen & paramedics to scour the wreckage for survivers. We were instrumental in making the Northwest Passage navigable, by inventing all sorts of quality icebreaker technologies/ships. I love Okanagan fruit & Purdy's cgocolate; both home-grown Canadian products! Let's not forget insulin!!! &, just for a fun tweak of the nose to our American neighbours(we only roast the ones we love): we created & own the patent on the green ink used to print US money. Not one of our greatest, of course, but a just for fun fact. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) SEEN-BY: 15/0 105/81 106/201 129/305 134/100 153/141 757 6809 7715 SEEN-BY: 218/840 221/1 6 229/110 426 428 664 700 240/1120 280/464 SEEN-BY: 282/464 1038 292/854 301/1 113 812 320/219 322/757 335/364 SEEN-BY: 341/66 396/45 712/848 920/1 2320/105 4500/1 5058/104 PATH: 153/757 221/6 301/1 229/426 |
