Yup I guessed you wear from Montreal before I looked at yourl ocation

I know where Canada is, there capitol is Ottawa, There west most province is the Yukon terrotory, there east most is New Foundland, there largest in size is Montreal. There flag consist of a Red line, then white, then red again, with a red maple leaf in the middle. The Mapple leaf is the national sign of Canada, there PM is Jean Cretin.

Hmm what else do I know about Canada, I heard that Toronto is the most internation city in Canada.

Oh and Eric Lindros if from Ontario and thats a big minus

I consider both countrys (Canada and Britan) to be friends as far as goverments go.

Now lets reverse is, how much to you know about America? Really how much?[/QUOTE]How much do you know about the netherlands?
What you know about canada i know about every south and north american, european and oceanian country so thats nothing special
hell you ever heard of Liechtenstein?

But if you must know

offical name is United Stated of America
Capital is Washington District Columbia
Their largest city is New York
Their largest state is Texas
this is where president Bush comes from
"East" and "west" America are divided somewhere along the line of Saint Louis
The largest river was the Mississippi which nobody seems to be able to spell
BUT that river due to extencive damming no longer ends in sea but ends somewhere in the mexican desert
their flag has 7 red and 6 white striped which stands for the original 13 states and in the left upper corner a blue space with 50 stars which stands for the current 50 states
last state to join the United States was Hawaii[/QUOTE]Yep, Litchenstien capitol is Vaduz or somthing simlar. And no, quite frankly I no pretty much nothing about the Netherlands.

Well beside they claim to be the most progressive country in the world. I dont have the facts with me so they may be. But I have never been proved to it was. And they are mostley Liberal.

And for the record Litchenstien is in middle eroupe I belive. As someone pointed out already Alaska is our biggest state, not Texas. Albeit Alaska isnt in the continental US.

Another fact I know about Canada is most of there immigrints are Irish or Scottish. They even have a town caleld New Glasglow in Nova Scotia.

*sigh* There go those stupid people again, America may be a strong nation but its internal-population is mainly made up of dunderheads and screwups...

That's a strong remark, /)eath. You calling me stupid?
