Not sure why I am starting this thread, but let's have a go...
Besides Axiom speakers coming from Canada, what else makes the country great?
#1) They have their own bacon named after them...
What else?

Nick, thanks for asking.HHere is a list of some of the things which were invented in Canada .I'll be the first to admit, that I was surprised at some of these. This is actually rather hard to answer, because there are so many things that I could say here(as I'm sure Americans would if asked the same question) from personal freedoms, respect and tolerance to the beauty and variances across the country in it's people, geography and history. Cheers PS....who else would you blame!!?

I always like to elevate the importance and beauty of embracing multiculturalism. Canadians seem to truly appreciate the influences of English, French, First People, Pacific-Rim immigrants and others too numerous to mention. In some ways, Canada seems like a better salad bowl than the US. Americans have no better friends in the world than Canadians; a blessing we too often take for granted.

Coincidentally, February has been really dry. Today's gorgeous, probably about 13C now, not a cloud in the sky. Was driving yesterday with the sunroof open and all the windows down, include the rear. First time this year. Nice.
That said, the old saying around here goes something like "If you can can't see the mountains, it's raining. If you can see them, it'll rain soon."
Still, wouldn't give it up for anywhere. Rarely too hot or too cold. Not to say that the odd trip somewhere isn't nice.

Hockey must be amongst the things that makes Canada so great. Now that I live in a place w/ a team to follow, I've learned to love the sport immensely.
