flag3756.jpgA little list gleaned by searching for “Canadians are good at” in Google to see what would come up.

  1. Hockey. That’s the great thing about the internet: I learn something new every day.
  2. Development work. All because of their “listening and learning” skills. Yep, Canadians have mastered their kindergarten curriculum like no other country in the developed world.
  3. Spelling. I suppose that’s because Canadians know how to spell words like colour and licence (n.) correctly.
  4. Sticking their noses into American affairs. Words of wisdom from Jeff “Go home tourists & foreigners”, who is, undoubtedly, American.
  5. Slaughtering helpless baby seals. Also from Jeff “Go home tourists & foreigners”. Lovely man, it seems, with consistent standards to boot.
  6. Being American icons, “or at least movers and shakers.” No wonder Jeff wants them to go home.
  7. SEO. Whatever that is, having the word hork in their vocabulary helps Canadians succeed at it.
  8. E-government online services. I’ve used them myself and I’d agree. Canadians are good at everything bureaucratic, perhaps because they’re also good at
  9. Innovation. Innovation is the Canadian heritage. (Is that statement oxymoronic?)
  10. Stuff.  And this list proves it.
