They would celebrate Thanksgiving on January 25, the day they kick the Injuns out and forced them to sign the Treaty of Denver, ceding more than half of their land to the US and Canada.

Now,I'm not sure about Canadians, but us Americans love stuffing ourselves and (unfortunately) watching football. We would probably do both, and perhaps the one Hyz suggested as well.

I'm a Canuck, thanksgiving sucked as bad as it ever does when you have 25 people around a dinner table. I ended up ralphing my guts out. I really have to find out what I've suddenly become intolerant to.

Well i certainly wouldn't call it a sparkling clean record. :( Though generally you might be able to say it hasn't been quite as represive and brutal as state-side, the basic pattern is the same. Of course the real core of the damage seems to have been done unintentionally with the first few ships at the end of the 15th century and start of the 16th. There are estimates of 90% to 95% of the population of the Americas was killed off within a number of years due to diseases that the Americas were not used to because of limited domestication of animals. But that isn't really much of an excuse for the weeniness that followed. |

I see your flame thower and arm the chicken cannon, Canada's special anti-whatever weapon. Whatever Rick Mercer can't make fun of, we'll hit it with the cannon. too bad that leaves very few targets, and we've been dieing to try out the new presision guided chickens.

Phools! We have the Shield of Sanders! All things chicken-poultry are to us what trying to kill a Marine by shooting beer at him would be.

In Wisconsin, we stick to our Smartlinked Semi automatic Cheese ball/Cheese log launchers with rangefinder option.
Wasting beer by using it as ammo, I believe that is a state felony. |

That reminds me of the time i tried to play catch with my brother shooting a spud gun at me while i stood there with a ballglove. Sadly due to the lack of rifling he couldn't get one aimed close enough to for me to catch it. Those damn potatoes knuckleball something fierce.
Or maybe it was i wasn't stupid enough to stand close enough for the limited accuracy it had? Funny, i thought i was stupid enough just being willing to stand there while he shot.... :grinbig: |

This has to be the longest lasting example I've seen of good-natured international ribbing that's stayed good natured. Yay us!

A story...
Many years ago, In a land far to the north, there were these these three trappers who were camped out one evening. As they sat around the fire, they couldn't help but be awed by the vastness and majesty of the country they had been travelling through. One looks at the other two and says. "So eh, this is quite a majestic and beautiful country eh." the second trapper Pierre speaks up, "Darn sure , eh. Maybe we ought to name it eh?" The third one, Louis replies, "Not a bad idea eh. So what should we call it eh? The three sit for a while and ponder several ideas but are just not satisfied with the suggestions. The first trapper, Michael then stands up and says, I know eh, just say the first letter that pops into you head and we'll put them together. Pierre you go first eh." Pierre stands up and says "C, eh." Louis stands up next and and says 'N, eh." Then Michael looks at both of them and says "D, eh." And that is how Canada got it's name. oooohh bad one eh... Ohhhh Canada.... :silly: |
