Toques off to our neighbor in the North!

Regardless of what the man in the White House says, the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to salute our friends in Canada on Canada Day.



Canada is the second-largest nation in the world. It is not part of the United States - (it's the U.S.' nicer sister, not dissing Mexico, the U.S.' feistier sister.)

A little jewel sitting at the top of the continent.



In the 151 years of their nationhood, Canadians have given the world paint rollers, snowmobiles, electric organs, green ink, toboggans, snow blowers, plexiglass, and the push-up bra.



Canada has about the same population as California, but fewer Scientologists.

Canadians consume more Kraft Macaroni & Cheese dinners than any other nation in the world.

Today is the 38th anniversary of the Canadian national anthem, 'Like America, But Colder.'





Canada's leading export to the United States is Canadians. Dan Aykroyd, who happens to have been born exactly 66 years ago today, is one.



Pamela Anderson is another, and was also born today, although she's younger (most of her is north of 40, but some parts are significantly younger).

Other Canadian exports: Bryan Adams, Paul Anka, Alexander Graham Bell, Raymond Burr (of nipple rouge fame), John Candy, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, Michael J. Fox, John Kenneth Galbraith, Lorne Greene, Peter Jennings, kd lang, Marshall McLuhan, Joni Mitchell (hopefully she's doing well), Alice Munro, Mike Myers,



Oscar Peterson, William Shatner, Alex Trebek, Shania Twain, Neil Young and of course everyone's favorite Canadian Zen Buddhist, the late Leonard Cohen.
