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.
