Canada - what has it ever given to the world?

[OnyxOverdrive]

...apart from William Shatner and a few mooses of course.

Can you name any great scientists, thinkers, writers, artists, philosophers, musicians (well Neil Young's OK I suppose) that the icy wasteland nation of Canada has produced?

I thought not. No further discussion necessary.

Guglielmo Marconi
Alexander Graham Bell
Peter Jennings
Mary Pickford (America's 'sweetheart') - was actually CANADIAN
Keanu Reeves
Alex Trebek
John F. Allen - discovered superfluidity
Sidney Altman: 1989 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry.
Frederick Banting : 1923 Nobel Prize winner in medicine. discoverer of insulin
Bertram Brockhouse: 1994 Nobel Prize winner in physics.
James Gosling: Programmer. inventor of Java
Sir William Osler: Physician. "most influential physician in history"
... I could go on, but the list is HUGE.

Also, Canada entered and fought in both World Wars, whilst the cowardly Americans sat upon their asses, waiting until the foe was soundly beaten before FINALLY entering said wars. Canada was the first to send soldiers to Korea. As for Vietnam, that was the USA's problem, not ours. We are also known as the ONLY military force to defeat the Americans on their home soil.

While that may have been the case for WWI, WWII was a different story altogether. IIRC, the Axis Powers still had the upper hand when America entered the war.

 

[Charlemagne]

Marconi was Italian, dumbass.

Damn, you failed history I see. That must be what they are teaching in American schools, more propaganda. I know for a FACT the Axis powers were being soundly beaten. Remember, unlike you, my family actually took part in the war, and my familial homeland was the main target of Germany. It is we who forced the Nazis into attacking the Soviets. Never forget it. We Canadians were there from the moment Hitler moved into Poland, whilst you cowards were shaking in fright in your bathrooms, shitting your asses.

 

[SaintLucifer]

Marconi was Italian, dumbass.

And he invented his shit IN CANADA, dumbass. Alexander Graham Bell was actually Scots, but he still learned his shit here. Both Bell and Marconi LIVED IN CANADA, to the point they were Canadian citizens. I KNEW your dumb ass was going to fall into that trap. Anyone stupid enough to believe the Axis powers were still a threat when the Americans entered WWII would fall for this.

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh. You go tell yourself that.

 

[OnyxOverdrive]

yes, thank God for Keanu Reeves

 

[Charlemagne]

Not to mention Canada gave us Justin Bieber! Canada owes the world an apology for that!

Alright, I'll give you that one, but I had no part in it.

but neither were Canadians. Fail.

 

[SaintLucifer]

yes, thank God for Keanu Reeves

You DO understand that if there is no Canada, there would be no Hollywood, yes? We Canadians MADE your film and entertainment industry.

 

[SaintLucifer]

but neither were Canadians. Fail.

Their passports would state otherwise. Look it up, check with your own government and historical facts.

 

[OnyxOverdrive]

95% of Canada is uninhabitable wasteland. Nothing you can say will change that fact.

And you still haven't convinced me that Canada has contributed anything worthwhile to the world in any of the fields that I mentioned.

That is because you failed both history and geography in school. The majority of Canada is habitable, more so than the USA. Look it up.

 

[SaintLucifer]

Someone is upset at having been a victim of the USA's errant economy, whilst Canada continues to bustle, thanks to our commodities. Shit, soon, we will be purchasing the entire United States with our pocket change, and turning it into our own parking lot.

USA = socialist shithole (all American banks, and many businesses are now owned by the State. Bwaaaaaaahhhhhaa!!!)

 

[SaintLucifer]

USA = 'look at me world! I am a tough bastard, what with me picking fights and invading Third-World weaklings to prove my worth to you!'

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

[OnyxOverdrive]

so we have two inventors who weren't actually Canadian, Keanu Reeves and Justin Bieber.

Fantastic. Thank God for Canadia.

I think you'll find that every great person of cultural and intellectual note throughout history was either American or European.

oh wait... I forgot, you gave us Celine Dion as well.

:nono:

I've become rather fond of a Canadian or two.

Nothing feels as good as a warm Canadian Beaver on a rainy night. With those long, cold winters spent indoors, they have little to do other than refine their "skills".

Trust me on this.

Hey, Canada has some really hot girls. And the added plus is there isn't a single one of them that would allow herself to be sullied by the likes of Luci.
