Canadian Trivia

So what do we Canadians have to be proud of, eh?

• Smarties (they're not sold in the USA.)
• Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp (they're not sold in the USA)

• The size of our football fields: one less down, bigger balls, and we invented the game!
• Baseball is Canadian. First game: June 4, 1838, Ingersoll, Ontario.
• Lacrosse is Canadian.
• Hockey is Canadian.
• Basketball is Canadian.

• Apple pie is Canadian.
• Mr. Dress-Up beats Mr. Rogers.
• Tim Horton's beats Dunkin' Donuts.

• In the war of 1812, which was started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back past their White House. We then proceeded to burn both it and most of Washington. We got bored because they ran away, then we came home and partied. Go figure!

• Canada has the largest French population that has never surrendered to Germany.
• We have the largest English population that never, ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere, ever! We got clobbered in the odd battle but prevailed in all the wars.
• Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.
• The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary. He slept in and missed the whole thing, showing up just in time to get caught!

• A Canadian invented Standard Time.
• The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the world's oldest company.
• The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full-grown human in under three minutes. (That's more information than you may need!)
• We know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
• We don't marry our kinfolk.

• We invented skidoos, jet skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, the telephone... as well as the shortwave radio, which saves countless lives every year.
• We have all frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell the tale!

• A Canadian invented Superman.
• We have coloured money.
• The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on!
• Our elections only take one day.

• For those of you who appreciate a good, safe and readily-available screw, we invented the Robertson Method!

• Two Canadians invented the light bulb and sold patent to Edison who to this day is recorded by many as being the inventor. Instead, he did perfect and promote it.

(On July 24, 1874, a Canadian patent was filed by a Toronto medical electrician named Henry Woodward and a colleague Mathew Evans. They built their lamps with different sizes and shapes of carbon rods held between electrodes in glass cylinders filled with nitrogen. Woodward and Evans attempted to commercialize their lamp, but were unsuccessful. They eventually sold their patent to Edison in 1879.)

Oohh, Canada! Pass this on if you're proud to be a Canadian!

Comments from our guests and members

Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments, we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.

Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?   

June 10. The inspirational moment was very touching. I watched the laughter talk before. It made me realize that we laugh a lot less than we used to. Perhaps it's time to make an effort to laugh more. It's good for you. May even burn some extra calories.
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

June 13. What a delightful and valuable message!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

June 13. I have a whole new appreciation of members of the Shelterbox Response team now that I have read what they have to undergo to become a member of a response team and are deployed to a disaster area.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Leadership and Empathy. Enjoyed the music and humour this week. The leadership versus management message was insightful.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport

Empathy – Best speech of all time by Simon Sinek. I discuss this at great lengths with our two sons the importance of empathy. It is something I look for when hiring employees and I understand the importance of empathy as an employer. It is a sought-after characteristic that shows you will go the extra mile for people. To be successful you must care about others.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370

Rotary minute 

By Md. Saddam Hossain Roni, Rotaract Club of Dhaka Orchids, Bangladesh

Before joining an Interact club in 2010, I had a difficult time dealing with people I didn’t know. That’s probably why I didn’t have a lot of friends in school. But as a member of Interact, I learned a lot about fellowship.

I still remember the day I stood on stage in front of a large group of people for a speech competition for the first time, my legs shaking. It was really a nervous moment for me. That day I realized I am not perfect. But day by day, I began developing my skills and becoming an active member of Interact.

I served as president of the Interact Club of Gomoti in 2012-13. In the same year, I was appointed as Interact Secretary of District 3280 and the next year elected 1st Interact Representative of District 3282.

I made Interact friends in many countries, founding the Global Friendship Project in 18 other districts. We worked together to plant trees in different countries at the same time and with the same banners. I have always believed the actual duty of a member of Interact is to learn and develop by spreading fellowship.
