In a global society that the Earth is becoming, I feel it is time to explain what Canadians are.  This will be especially helpful to, well, everyone, because we are kind of invisible.  Once you have seen this series of videos, you will be experts on a lot of things Canadian.

Our first foray will be some factoids on our love of beer.

Canadians Like Beer

That would be the stereotype, we are beer swillers extraordinaire.  Now, take a peak at this chart:

As you can see, we are 14th in the world and dropping in consumption.  This, despite my best efforts.  I was surprised at number 1, I mean China??  I was going to look for a per capita chart, but could not insert, so here is a link which shows that Canada is only 23rd in the world in this measure.

    I’m not sure we should be proud of this. haha! According to the little color coded map, America is equal to England and Ireland. That’s really saying something. LOL!

    Wow…shocked. Totally shocked. As a fellow Canuck I can’t help but feel we may not be exerting enough effort into this…or maybe Global warming has something to do with it. Hmmmm…..

      I pledge that while I am in Spain in October that I will not pad their stats. This is at great personal sacrifice

    One thing u as Canadians can be proud of is…… Bret “the hitman Heart!!!!! What a wrestler he was. He was one of my top wrestlers.

    1. John Phillips Avatar

      Don’t forget Edge, Christian and Chris Jericho among a bunch of others.

      1. Anthony Avatar

        They Canadian?

        1. John Phillips Avatar

          Yep. I knew Jerichos father in Winnipeg. He was my financial adviser for a while. Ted Irvine. Used to play in the NHL. The other 2 are out if Toronto.

          1. Anthony Avatar

            My, my….Not sure about Jericho for me, there was a love, hate relationship. But sad he got beaten by Dolf Zigler and now he is out, again…..

            1. John Phillips Avatar

              He’ll be back. Likely making a movie or touring with his band. He hates being a face so he’ll be back as a heel mo doubt.

              1. Anthony Avatar

                Yes, i forgot about the band. He will be going on tour if i am not mistaking? That is why he “had to go” so to speak.

                1. John Phillips Avatar

                  Pretty much and they used the opportunity to elevate ziggler. Dolph has some potential. Wwe is one of my hidden vices.

                  1. Anthony Avatar

                    Must say, WWE have some good script writers? U 2? I can not go without my wrestling. Some potential, yes. Let us wait and see when he cashes in the money in the bank.

    I am not sure if you saw my Friday post on my blog. I posted about Canadian’s even having nicer robbers.

    1. John Phillips Avatar

      Had to go back and check. I missed that post somehow. I’ll be refuting that myth as well so quit making it difficult lol

      1. rebecca2000 Avatar

        Well it was my WTF post on Friday. A thief returned all the stuff he stole from a family along with cash to replace the screen he broke.

        1. John Phillips Avatar

          I checked it out. I have been just getting back into the sphere but I’m surprised I missed it. Always hit your posts when they show up. My bad.

            No worries 🙂

    Ha… Bob and Doug, a prized album in my collection. It was hilarious when I was 10 and it still is. Not too surprised on the beer thing cause I bet many switch to good ol Canadian rye whiskey once summer is over

    1. John Phillips Avatar

      Love Bob and Doug. My biggest surprise on the beer was Spain drinking more per person than Canada.

    I think you will regain your consumptive eminence when adjusted for population.

      The other chart on the link shows per capita and we drop to 23rd on that one. No beer for me in Spain. Gotta pad our stats before we leave.
