O� Canada.

Now that all the flag waving and fireworks are over on both sides of the border. I would like to jot down, for posterity, just a few of the reasons why I am glad I am a Canadian.

1. No one wants to blow us up.

2. Free health care.

3. The metric system.

4. Money�ok, its not worth as much but it�s pretty.

5. Clean air.

6. Clean water.

7. Gun laws�if you have one in public, you are a criminal�.there is no confusion.

8. Canadian beer�we dismiss anything under 6% as �for children and the elderly�.

9. No one gives a shit what the Prime Minister does. The closest he has ever come to an assassination is a pie in the face.

10. Americans have FBI, CIA, DEA, Secret Service�..we have RCMP (period)

11. Donairs.

12. Regulations that cap prices on prescription meds.

13. Americas Most Wanted.

14. Pizza with the cheese on top.

15. The Queen�she�s a great old broad, has her picture on the money but keeps her nose out of business.

16. Longest unprotected boarder, although I think we should tighten that up, �Captain, there�s a tidal wave coming up from the south, SHIELDS UP!�

17. Red Rose tea. �Only in Canada, you say.? Pity.�

18. Kids in the Hall.

19. When you win the lottery�.you get ALL the money.

20. Tim Horton�s Coffee.



UPDATE: Canada also has CSIS (Canadian Security and Intelligence Service) but it is so secret I never heard of it.
