    Canadians are gods on earth. Every possible innovation was originally done by the Canadians. They are so fuckin cunning, they make technological leaps everyday and somehow keep it hidden from the world, until another country tries to do the same fucking thing, then all of a sudden, "We're fucking Canadians, we've already done this. What do you think of that, eh?"

    The world should go fuck themselves and bow down before the awsome might of Canada!
