Honorable mentions go to: George Stroumboulopoulos and Mike Weir (who also has a winery, which is further evidence that we should be together in case there was any doubt).
Ah, like there are only ten cool things about Canada. Neil Young. Leonard Cohen. Arthur Erickson. We set the White House on fire in 1814. Joni Mitchell. Leonard Cohen. Insulin. The telephone. Tim Hortons. Linda Evangelista. Frank Gehry. Terry Fox. Tom Thompson. The Group of Seven. Micro brewed beers. Poutine. The Blackberry. Niagara Falls. BC bud. Draft dodgers. The Underground Railway. Hockey. Being able to wear the Canadian flag abroad. Our annual gift of tulips from the Dutch Royal Family.
I'm going to see if I can get some cake. Or maybe some Timbits.
