@Zap... LOL... The Avro UFO... good one... I didn't say everything they made was great...:P

After the Arrow project was cancelled... literally within 48 hours Nasa grabbed 400 of the top engineers to go work for the space agency... We did/do have some smart people here...

@Doombot... We do have lots of maple trees, that's for sure....

I mentioned before that some of my favourite TV shows were made in Canada. Here's a list of a few...

Flashpoint, Orphan black, Stargate, Due south (always made me smile) La femme Nikita (the 1997 series), The X Files (The first five seasons that is), Torchwood (although technically British, but collaborated with CBC)

And my all time favourite show ever...

Fraggle rock

That was always part of my staple diet of kids TV shows when I was a wee lad. I always thought "MacGyver" was a Canadian show, but only found out recently that it was only sometimes filmed there.

@DJ.

That was a really nice insight of your life growing up in Canada. Well written and made for good reading. Thanks for sharing the photos as well. It really looks like a beautiful place, and is one of the few that's on my "Places I'd like to visit before I kick the bucket" list. I'll will get around to visiting there at some point and maybe pop in to The office to say "Hi".

Besides, Richard owes me a few beers and I fully intend on collecting, lol.

@Steve... I can't believe anyone but me knew of the show Due South! I absolutely loved that show....

I have an idea - you can all come visit us and hang out at ez-robot

I always have fun asking Americans to try and name all our territories (3) and provinces (10). I'm pretty sure I can name all 50 states haha.

Hey, everyone. Party around DJ's. I'll bring the party hats, lol.

Seriously though, if and when I ever get the time, and money, I'd love to pop over and visit you guys and take in some of that marvellous Canadian scenery. That would be pretty sweet. Maybe one day.

I recently met a Canadian couple headed to Florida about 5 months ago. My family and I were at a restaurant, (Denny's), he opened his wallet, and I happened to notice that his wallet contained plastic money....I asked as polite as I could, may I see that 5 Canadian Dollar Banknote...the banknote seemed brand new, as I payed for my family's dinner with an old beat up 20 dollar bill..... I asked how much to purchase the banknote, he said sure, give me a 5 dollars. I own a piece of Canadian Money, which is in a safety deposit box in a bank for my son when he get's older.
