With a gross domestic product of 13.5-13.7 trillion dollars, the united states is the most monetarily successful country in the world at present time. Traditionally a capitalist society, the United States thrives on the buying and selling of goods and services between private enterprise and business, and not through heavy taxation or government legislation and intervention, such as our neighbor to the north as well as many of the European Union nations. In the United States, the citizens are not FORCED to be held personally responsible for the hospitalization and healthcare costs of those who offer absolutely nothing to society. Due to that, we are not FORCED to wait on average 4 months to see a specialist once diagnosed with a disease (a study calculated by the Frasier Institute of Canada). also unlike our neighbors to the north, who's physicians must deal with absolutely EVERYONE.
Unlike the ignorant impressions of American healthcare by most Canadians, Americans with any sort of decent job have health insurance financed by the companies they work for, in most cases at no cost to the end user. At the other end of the spectrum, the poor/misfortunate/unemployed in America also have access to free healthcare in the form of charity hospitals and free clinics, who's turnaround time is about on par with the services enjoyed by ALL Canadians.
With a population of 304 million people, the United States is the 3rd most populous nation in the world, behind P.R.China, and India.
Though the popular and convenient thing as of late is to mock and insult the United States for their inflated military budget, the gross emasculation of the U.N. member states' military, as well as many third world welfare states, have increasingly left the rest of the world completely dependent on the United States to act as their muscle, or police in some scenarios due to lax or lazy, even paricitical practices of said nations.
A true nation of immigrants, the melting pot of the United States is made of of large groups of Africans, as well as African Americans, Aleut, American Indians, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Spanish, Irish, Italian, Mexican, Norwegian, Puerto Rican. As well as smaller, though still sizable populations of Chinese, Cuban, Dominican, Filipino, French Canadian, Hawaiian, Japanese, Polish, and Portuguese.
While the United States is often typified as being much more violent than other first-world countries (and in some places this is true) on a national level, the difference is as little as 2-3 homicides per 100k people in Canada, as opposed to 5-6 per 100k in America. Not a huge difference. Also notable is that London, England, where firearms are essentially illegal, is often equaling the murder rate of the often murder capital of the U.S. ( New Orleans, LA) Where firearms are most certainly not illegal to law-abiding citizens.

I hate to play the Devil's advocate here, but it seems that Jordan with the #1 definition is really stretching things..
1. Smarties are from England and simply have a production plant in Canada (as well as Germany and several other countries)
2. Given
3. Given
4. The original "Rules of Baseball" was written by Alexander Cartwright, a New Yorker, and the origins of pre-baseball games are said to be from England. I think you mean that "Baseball is played in Canada."
5. Sort-of, but I'll give you this one too. Lacrosse was an iriqois game first witnessed by westerners by a Frenchman back when we were both part of the British empire.
6. Absolutely
7. I guess... James Naismith was indeed Canadian, but this all happened in Massachusetts.
8. Apple pie has been eaten since before the New World was even discovered, recipies date back to the 1300s...
9. Given
10. Given, though Dunkin' Donuts is garbade. TH coffee is garbage too, but the food is much better IMO
11. The war of 1812 was before Canada WAS Canada, it was the UK vs the US, period. The US DECLARED war (but certainly did not start it) because of the UK FORCING americans to serve in their royal navy. It was more or less a second war for independence and ended with a treaty.
12. You guys better keep appeasing all of Quebec's demands so they will stop threatening to leave your union.
13. Canada has never played anything more than a supporting role in any war, ever. There is no reason to surrender when you've never fought an actual war on your own.
14. Your civil war is coming in the near future if your rediculous appeasing, ass-kissing politicians fail to keep Quebec from seceding.
15. okie
16. Plaid was only cool in Seattle, lol.
17. The HBC was a British company when that was true.
18. Given, lol.
19. Given.
20. Not really anything worth bragging about, did this just happen in Canada?
21. Snowmobiles were indeed invented by a canadian, jet-skis were invented by an Arizonan, Velcro was invented in Switzerland, Insulin is found natuarally in the human body, but was discovered by a German, and was first USED AS A MEDICINE in Canada. Penecillin was discovered by a Scottish scientist, Zambonis were invented by an American, in America..... Oh and Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish too. Are you just naming random things and saying they're Canadian? This is really rediculous, lol!
22. Given.
23. Superman was invented by an American AND a Canadian in America.
24. True.
It seems from this that one could just make random claims in Canada and people would just completely take it for fact, without any bit of skepticism, lol. Do you guys usually confuse yourselves with Great Britain? :)
That being out of the way, I love Canada! I love Canadians! I haven't met many Canadian assholes at all. From my point of view, Canada and the US (Canadians and Americans) are much more similar places than some people on either sides of the border seem to believe. Other than these few discrepencies that I have pointed out, Canadians are by no means short on reasons to be proud to be Canadian. It is a great and underrated country that tends to fly a bit under the international radar. Low key, understated. Progressive and humanitarian, and a better neighbor than Mexico :)
