Default Re: Tom Brokaw explains Canada to Americans

Always happy to enlighten...


Miller was awesome in net the other night..

I have come across many Americans who aren't aware of Canada's involvement in any wars let alone being in the second world war before the u.s. and heading up many major battles. Many are (or were) unaware of Canada's involvement in Afghanistan, some thinking we are over there just to look nice and be polite..

I remember back around 19 or 20 years ago when my son was in grade 2. I bought yellow ribbon and small Canadian flag pins for him to take to school to hand out to his classmates and friends at school to wear on their coats and we made a huge ribbon for the front of the school.

Hockey is a major thing up here, no doubt, but anything involving ice is..!!
Curling, skating, ice fishing, sledding, etc.... we are defined by the geography and climate of this country.
