"1867: Almost a century after America declares its independence from Great Britain through the bloody crucible of revolution, Canada declares its sovereignty after filling out the necessary paperwork."
...yes, only a Canadian could have written this. ;)
I read this article yesterday and though it was great - truly Canadian! It really hit home for me last night how polite we are - I was watching the Women's Hockey team slaughter sweeden and I thought - (at about 8-0) ok ladies, we should slow down a bit, don't embarrass them too much! And then I remembered this article! Most other countries (aka the US) would be going nuts if their teams were winning by these huge numbers! But in Canada many look at it as being rude and unsportsmanlike! Go Canada Go!!
