Myönnettäköön että herralla oli ehkä puheessaan pointti. Mutta voisin minäkin kysyä että mikähän on Kanadan lahja ihmiskunnalle. Vastaukseksi ei sitten riitä Crocsit tai Bryan Adams.
Senor Lopez's Canadian (or Quebecker) colleague had something against the Norwegians and he decided to spend the day complaining how annoyingly self sufficient those Scandinavians are, and on what merit - they smell like fish and are all cousins to each other, and still they are stuck up in their hi-tech societies listening to bad heavy metal and thinking they are better than the rest. And is there anything worth mentioning the Scandinavians have ever brought for the humanity...
OK. Maybe Monsieur Canadien had a point. At least about the cousins. But on the other hand, what gifts for humanity have ever come out of Canada, I may inquire. And I do not accept Crocs or Bryan Adams as an answer.
(For those who wish to know what are Finland's gifts for humanity are the three S's of course: Sauna, Santa and SMS)

Well, it's like they say; everyone talks about how great Scandinavia and Canada are but who really wants to live there?
;o)
