Happy Birthday Canada

Today is July 1st and my birth nation's birthday!!! Today that great country is 143 years old... so in honor of the country I was born in I decided to make a top ten list of why our neighbors to the north are more than just America's hat...

1. I was born there... so that makes Canada's awesomeness even greater!!
2. Mike won't like this one... but the game of basketball was invented by James Naismith... who yes was Canadian!! So apparently Mike owes his whole life to us Cunucks!!
3. Santa Clause is believed to be Canadian !!!
4. Lacrosse was invented there... which is an amazing sport that will eventually catch on in the west coast.
5. Canada invented the snow mobile... which was invented in 1937 (look how technology savvy they were so early).
6. This ones for you Dayton... the modern baseball glove was invented in Canada in 1883 (the all American sport eh?)
7. Canada is an Indian word meaning Big Village.
8. Canadians consume more mac n' cheese than any other country on earth.  That makes sense cause that's all I eat!! Its in my blood I can't fight it.
9.  Canada's groundhog is Wiarton Willie, who is an albino groundhog from Wiarton, Ontario.  Okay try and tell me that isn't way cooler than Punxsutawney Phil.
10. Both English and French are its official languages... hows that for bilingual!!


I love the United States but I had to honor Canada on their day of birth.... So HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!!!
