my favorite would be

When you step on someone's foot, he apologizes. (This really happened.)

Also the Canadian terms may be useful to other people not from Canada.

Ie: Maritimes, Postal Code, RC's, snowbird, pogey, Screech, etc.

I like how our Primeministers go on comedy shows and get rock stars to talk at their "coronation" (Bono was at Paul Martins thing). They even get their picture taken with people across the country while drinking (classmates and I). And Chretien even attempted to defend himself (actually went back to sleep according to a website) from an intruder once. :P

Not to mention Bush didn't even know how to pronounce the Canadian primeminister name(as proven on Talking to Americans.

Didn't Chretien also sneak out of his hotel once while at some summit?  The guards never knew he was missing until he walked back in the front door?  (Or am I thinking of another French speaking leader?)

Not to sound unpatriotic but most of these are, sorry to say, really weak.

Canadian troops lead the invasion of Normandy

We may not have better technology overall but we do have pretty good technology. Maybe equivilent to the US? We have one level ? bio place in the prairies and is one of the few in North america (under 10?) I remember them talking about it when anthrax was going around or something.

I think Jean has gotten more pies in the face than he cares to remember.

My uncle had apparenly partied with Jean once.

And Scott, Keep in mind that many of them were submitted by viewers.  "Viewers" tend to think themselves much wittier than they really are.  Cae in point.  ;)

I thought about that too. Second goal in semifinals was shot after tripping of our goalman... But still, you Canadians played better.
