I had no idea, until right now, that Arturo Gatti is a Canadian.

 

Was a Canadian. He lived not far from where I grew up.

 

Oh and thanks CGF but I'm sitting this one out. Enjoying a marathon of the wire.

Canadians are always dreaming up a lotta ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young!

 

I love the idea of boxing day... Just walk around and punch people with impunity. It seems so un-Canadian but hey we'll go with it.

Wealthy English, actually. They passed the holiday to their colonies. Didn't take here for some reason.

That is all true. We also got Justin Bieber. :sick:

 

On the plus side we did get: Shania Twain, Evangeline Lilly, Cobie Smulders, Anna Paquin, Elisha Cuthbert, Michael J. Fox, & Nathan Fillion.
