In that first list, those are all actors or something, right? How many have won some type of acting award or where do they rank on making money as actors?

on the second list,

Arthur Sicard invented the snow blower
Joseph-Armand Bombardier invented the snowmobile
Robert Foulis invented the foghorn
Dr. Cluny Macpherson invented the gas mask
Donald Munro invented table hockey
Jacques Plante invented the goalie mask

snow blower---- chit that's a no brainer

snowmoble--- another no brainer, when you live 2/3rds of your life in snow

foghorn--- that goes with the next one - sounded like a fart

gasmask--- someone had to come up with something to overcome the flatulence laden air the indoor air would be saturated with due to all of the seal meat that was eaten and due to the fact that it was too cold to stay or do anything outside

table hockey--- there's ice hockey, air hockey, table hockey... some idiot Canadian even tried to invent water hockey... but the water was frozen

goalie mask--- of course a Frenchi invents this because all they want to do is eat and it was hard to do without any teeth

[SnakeH2]

It's really a pretty small list...

Thats funny. What is the saying "One ahh sh*t will out do 10 atta boys" One Keanu Reeves destroys anything good that you all can do for another 100 years.

[RuggedH2]

I noticed a lot of actors.

I didn't see any soldiers or warriors there. Must be much pretending going on up there.

You wouldn't have any of those if it wasn't for Americans with their superior sperm coming up there and impregnating your women while you are out chopping trees and riding moose.

Canada didn't invent Hockey, they just renamed another sport and played it on the only surface they had available.... ice. Figures.....

from a Canadian website on Hockey:

Hockey wasn't really "invented."

A similar sport started in Ireland as the sport of Hurley. Canadians played it on ice. This happened in Nova Scotia in the 1800's. It was called Ice Hurley for quite some time and then people started to call it ice hockey.
Of course, there are other stories.

• Some say the MicMac indians played a form of hockey in Nova Scotia when the Europeans arrived.

• In Windsor, Nova Scotia, there is a school called Kings View Academy. A teacher there supposedly took his students out to the pond behind their school and asked them to make up a sport. The game they played became hockey.

• Another interesting story says that ice hockey was first played in 1885 by British soldiers stationed in Canada. Guards who were guarding the Parliament building in Canada used to sneak off to a nearby field and play ice hockey. Some say they started by whacking rocks with a stick to stay warm.

Two towns claim that the first game of hockey was played there. The first is Kingston, Ontario, and the second is a small town in New Brunswick, both of which are in Canada.

It is generally accepted that the current rules for hockey evolved from students at McGill University in Montreal ("the McGill Rules") in 1875.

Around 1920 the NHL was formed by Canada. It grew. Rules evolved. For example in the 1920's you were aloud to pass forward.

Hockey is Canada's national game, but not Canada's "official sport," which is lacrosse.

On any Saturday night, right across Canada, about 40 percent of the population is watching HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA, the longest running program on Canadian TV. It has been on for over 50 years, every Saturday night, every hockey season.
It is now played in over 80 different countries around the world.

Bell was a Scot who stopped off in Canada on his way to live in the US. But he didn't invent the phone. An Italian, Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci, living in New York did about 40 years before Bell happened to pick it up and patent it.

That's some funny stuff right there!!!

And don't talk about the Canadian Military in a bad way. After all, it's called the US Armed Forces up there.

oops.... from another Canadian website

The first radio receiver/transmitter to be nick-named "Walkie-Talkie" was the backpacked Motorola SCR-300, created by an engineering team in 1940 at the Galvin Manufacturing Company (fore-runner of Motorola). The team consisted of Dan Noble, who conceived of the design using FM technology, Henryk Magnuski who was the principal RF engineer, Marion Bond, Lloyd Morris, and Bill Vogel. Motorola also produced the hand-held AM SCR-536 radio during the war, and it was called the "Handie-Talkie" (HT).

Al Gross also worked on the early technology behind the walkie-talkie between 1934 and 1941, and is sometimes said to actually have invented it.

Canadian Donald L. Hings was responsible for further improvements on the device in 1942.

Too bad he was a import too. He was born, bred, raised and schooled in England.

Plus he's know for his work on the Avro Jetliner..... heard of that?

He also moved back to England after Canada couldn't sustain an air industry anymore. He then worked on the Concorde.... that did well, too.

Canadarm..... 1 2 3.... where would it be without NASA.
