CDunn Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'm posting on the 2nd, but whatever, Happy Canada Day from Atlanta!Canada's national anthem is so much better than Americas. Canada's is a tribute to a beautiful country and its people, while America's is a tribute to war.Now to clear some things up.1. I was under the impression that the weed thing somehow only applied in Vancouver. Heard it on a travel show, I think.2. Contrary to popular belief, hockey is actually a French game. Just brought it over to French-Canada. Hockey come from the French, "hoquet" which means bent stick. When the game originated, people used shepards crooks as sticks. The game was actually invented to be lacrosse on ice. Lacrosse is a native american game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
