Calling All Canadians!

[Michael Tree]

I was born in Edmonton, moved to Toronto when I was ten, and now am going to school in Philadelphia.

Since I currently live in the States and have to put up with the patriotism and flag-waving, I'd say my favorite moment in Canadian history is beating the Americans in the war of 1812 and burning down the predecessor to the white house.

My favorite moment in recent history has to be the petition for the referendum to make Stockwell Day change his first name to "Doris." There's something archetypically canadian about playfully making fun of our politicians.

let us know whereabouts in the Great White North you are, and....what the heck...what is your favorite moment in Canadian History?!

Vancouver BC

Beating the Russians at hockey in 1972 tied with Burning down the White House in the war of 1812

Ha, classic.

Nice to see Edmontonians (former and current) onboard. I only moved to Calgary from Edmonton 4 years ago and still go back regularly to party.

Eastern Ontario. Well, just outside of Vankleek Hill, Ontario, to be precise. That is the home of E.N.Publishing according to our paperwork and business license.



Proud to be a Canadian!

Anyways, how many Cannucks making it down to GenCon this year? Once again, my lovely wife will be hosting the Canadiana Suite at the Embassy Suite Hotel at GenCon - last year we had lots of Canadian beer, Canadian maple leaf cookies, Canadian Club, and of course.... POUTINE!

Gonna have to agree and add that to my list as tied for number 1 with the whitehouse burning.

Originally from Calgary, now living not too far from Edmonton.

Favorite moment: Nothing particularly stands out for me. But I've never really thought on the subject, either.

Grew up in Pincourt, Quebec (just off the west island of Montreal), and then moved to Toronto in 2000.

Favorite moments in history? Our civil war being nothing but a bar fight, Vimy Ridge, Juno Beach, burninating the original white house, The battle of the plains of Abraham. Can't think of any others off the top of my head, really.

I'm from London, Ontario, originally, lived in Montreal for several years, and now I live in Toronto.

As for a favourite moment in Canadian history, that's a tough one to choose. Hmmmm.... The Stockwell Day name-change petition is certainly a good laugh! I think, however, that I'd have to go with the unity rally in Montreal just before the last referendum. Oh, and pretty much any event involving Pierre Trudeau.

Hi all,

Currently residing in Rimouski, Québec after living for quite a few years in Gatineau, just east of Ottawa. Born in Montreal.

Proudest canadian moment ??? Now there's a tough one. I've never been very patriotic in that sense. Let me think... The war of 1812, maybe. Our role in the creation of the Peacekeepers, better. The use of insulin to control diabetes by Frederick Banting in 1922, also good.
