10 Things You Didn't Know About Canada

#1 isn't terribly accurate. 89% of Canada might not be suitable for crops, but the Inuit enhabited the area by other methods - fishing, etc. In modern days you could use greenhouses - though on a larger scale than the experimental one on Devon Island. And of course anything from Las Vegas in the desert to Alert in the arctic can be supplied remotely.

#3 is a myth. The street ends just north a Newmarket. A branch of it runs off to the west, but doesn't quite connect to the Young Street that runs north from Bradford. You can check it out on Google Maps.

Left out: Canada leads the industrialized nations of the world in toaster-related deaths.

Canada's population is 33 million and change. I don't know if that changes its ranking but its another two Torontos added to your figure.

Statistically speaking, 89% of Canada is not suitable for crops. Argumentatively speaking is not what the writer was trying for.

Younge Street was considered the longest street in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records until not long ago and it held the record for many years. This then, is not a myth but a revised decision.

looks like you just like to bicker about anything. who cares it isnt a big deal unless you make it one

Ah, I see.

Post a myth, and call it a fact.
When someone points out that it's a myth, say that they "just like to bicker."
Right. Gotcha.

I never knew any of that about Canada! Thanks for enlightening me ;)

Yes, the fact about Canada's population, as earlier stated, is outdated. The latest census, taken earlier this year, put it just past 33 million. I'm sure the official numbers are on some government site.

I do not know very much about Canada and I was enlightened by this article.

omg family guy, "Which is more than u get from those stupid Canadians. Canda sux." I am not offending ne1 it was on family guy.

Canada smokes more pot per capita tnan any of the industrialized countries,it is illegal to be a nazi in canada.

Oi Vay!!! No Jews in Canada

From someone who cannot spell all that well and conveys their views with a 10 year-old mentality, I'm quite content to admit that I am Canadian and one with a rather large brain.
Think before you speak or better yet, learn to write what you think with a little intelligence!! Canda sux? Omg

Thank -you Kellie..Well put!!

#9 The population is closer to 32 million and how could you not mention Pamela Anderson!?

Because most of Pams "parts" are American made.

The only one I bothered to learn in school was #5

According to the Government of Canada, your factoid #5 is actually incorrect. "Brazil is the country with the most renewable fresh water. Canada is third after Russia." Source.

Oops...sorry...I guess HTML is not allowed...here is my source for the above comment...

Canadians are the most arrogant people I've seen on the internet. I've never met a Canadian in real life but what I saw online just makes me feel sick about Canadians and Canada. This is just disgusting.

Another fact is that baseball was first played in Canada, and a Canadian is thought to have invited it.

I've been to Canadia a few times. It's like a whole different country up there. Here are a few more facts that I've read from reliable sources: --Murder is illegal in Canada --Canada is known as "The Maple Leaf State" --In Canadian units Canada is actually a larger land mass than the USA --The capital of Canada is called Canada City --The North American Free Trade Agreement mentions Canada in several clauses. Enjoy these fun facts about Canada

Thank -You Happy G..I am going to have to write another one and just use what you guys have given me.(Just kidding) And yes Canada is a bit different but its beautiful. I wouldn`t live anywhere else.

actually, the longest street in the world is Avenida Rivadavia in Argentina.

To: A Foreigner.
I do not know, or care where you are from. However, I am quite sure that wherever you are from, you have made your people proud with your splendid lines of what I conceive to be hatred. You admit that you have never met a Canadian, yet you are sickened by us because we are arrogant. I think that you have mistaken inteligence for arrogance, my friend, and by writing the kind of crap that you wrote shows that you wouldnt know inteligence if it jumped up and bit you in your home town!!!

Bravo Lanne

Your right, maybe this Foreigner is from Mars.
One who judges an entire country from online comments alone, is not worthy of acknowledgement.
The internet I'm sure is 40% arrogant comments.

Im pretty sure however, the capital city of canada is Ottawa
theres no such thing as canada city, never heard of it,

Canada is size is inversely proportional to the number of who care about it.

Of course I mean "Canada's size...."

Canada is pretty flat too.. maybe it's a pancake also?

Anyone who believes Canada is flat has either never been there, only visited the prairies, or is somewhat thick. The Rocky Mountain range runs through western Canada and Ontario and Quebec are known for their ski resorts. Even the prairies are not that flat from central prairies north. Know what you are talking about before you open your pancake hole.

Re: a foreigner

Yes, I realize I am late with this comment, but your comment was so funny I had to respond. I'm going to assume you are American since only an American can make such a comment. If not, then I feel even more sorry for your country. Were you dropped on your head as an infant? No, seriously because then it is forgivable how ignorant you really are. Calling people, well Canadians, over the internet "arrogant" doesn't make you seem any smarter FYI. People over the internet have their own persona of how they want to carry themselves and if you happened to come across some "arrogant" Canadians well then thank you because you have let me come across an arrogant as well as ignorant foreigner who doesn't even have the balls to list their own country. At least us Canadians will own up to our own faults. Be proud foreigner for I am confident that you will soon enter into the next edition of the Darwin Awards as their top winner. Congrats to you.

All I can say is "WOW". I'm Canadian and couldn't believe what I just read what that "Foreigner" guy wrote. I'm totally shocked. I imagine there are ignorant Canadians but to be so rude to judge a whole entire country and over 32 million people for a few bad comments on the internet is the most ridiculous thing I think I ever heard. Anyways being from Canada myself and having wrote a similar article I have to say at least you did a good job. The facts are clear and not misrepresented. Good job keep up the good work.

Thanks Chris and peachykeen...you said it all for me.
