Isn't the Canadian king Gary Coleman? I remember reading that somewhere.
Anyway, being in Canada must suck being landlocked and stuck between the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Brasil, with all the wars those two have had.
I don't mean this to be offensive, but we Americans think it's funny how you guys wear potato pancakes on your heads to get better TV reception and how the keys on your telephones have pictures of various root vegetables instead of numbers. I can only imagine how hard it is to give your phone number to someone! "Yes, my number is cassava, yam, taro, taro, artichoke, potato." How do you guys write that down!?
I know the differences between America and Canadaland are vast and, sometimes challenging to understand. But we all have something in common: teeth. In our common persuit of better methods of dentistry, we should put our differences aside and collude to break new ground on oral hygiene.
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

How many provices and territories are there in Canada? Bonus points, name them...
NO GOOGLE EITHER!
Wed Dec 01, 2004 2:45 pm
No Google: (and, hopefully in some order from east to west)
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nunavut, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, and British Columbia.
And for you... To make it a little more even can you name 25 of the 50 states?

Seattle is not a state, its a city in Washington. But besides that and some spelling, it looks good to me

Not many....
A lot of us in the U.S. don't know. What about other countries? Would they know? I don't think so.
Want to know why?
Canada is not significant enough of a country, IMO.
