Canada has given the world:
- zippers
- gasoline
- variable pitch propellors
- Moosehead
- snowballs
- Celine Dion
- etc
As a Canadian, I'm embarrassed about these 2 on your list!
What the f*ck is wrong with Moosehead? Pretty much the best non-premium-priced beer on the planet.
And Celine Dion, while she might not be your taste or mine, is objectively speaking one of the world's most successful singers.
I definitely would have added Rush to the list.
Plus:
- Donald Sutherland, and of course his spinoff, Keifer Sutherland
- Skidoos
- insulin
- the CANDU reactor
- Dan Aykroyd
- Eugene Levy, John Candy, and Rick Moranis
- Canadian Club
- Conquer Club
- the Robertson screwdriver
- canola oil
- Sonar
- Coffee Crisp
- lacrosse
- the Wonderbra
- plexiglass
- the Bloody Ceasar
- McGill University
- Matt Groening
- theory of plate tectonics
- mapping the visual cortex of the brain
- discovery of stem cells
- Northern Dancer
- Farley Mowat
- the Blackberry (may have fallen on hard times now, but was the trailblazer in its field)
- the Guess Who
- Neil Young
- arctic char
- Kraft dinner
- fiddleheads
- chokeberries
- and of course, peanut butter
