+kini_ont Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 JULY 1 - CANADA DAY We are 142 years young today, celebrations will happen all over Canada from the smallest villages to the large cities. What can I tell ya, we love to celebrate and celebrate we shall, with a Cointest. Canada is known for many things; from movie stars to inventions, statesmen even SAR’s So this cointest is an easy one, Tell me about my own country! There are three Canadian micro’s, one to go to three randomly selected entries; the cointest will end tomorrow at 6 EDT, each micro has been sealed and awaits an address, the winners will select an envelope, first chosen will have first choice of envelopes. Other rules: allow 30 minutes between your entries, enter often if you wish and in case of a dispute my decision is final. OK Happy Birthday Canada let me start you off. During the 50’s Canada designed and built a delta-winged interceptor aircraft known as the CF-105 (Avro Arrow), why do I mention this, thanks for asking, as a young lad my sister drove me up to Malton Ontario where the Arrow was built and stored, I had the chance that day of seeing this magnificent airplane not one I will forget because that day they also rolled out a cylinder shaped vessel that was identical to an UFO. Both projects were never finished, sad ending to both but something that is uniquely Canadian. Link to comment

+Team TeeKay Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Margaret Atwood a great Canadian Author once stated how she thought it was funny that the beaver was a national symbol in Canada. She went on to explain that this was ironic when put into perspective of Canadian politics and foreign policy; because you see, when a male beaver is threatened by a predator they will chew off their own testacles and offer it up to the predator. Pretty neat eh!!! Unfortunately, the beaver part is only a wise tale! On a lighter note, hockey, hockey and hockey!!!!! (even though basketball was invented in Canada) Islander Link to comment
