Canada, only country with a country within, living in peacefull co-operation. Quebec and our beloved brothers and sisters of the French persuasion even fight shoulder to shoulder in our armies! Share our coins ans bills, but live freely and weparateliy within our borders - never before in the world has this happened! We alos include large Ukeranean, Chinese, Italian and other communitiea and accommodate them even with their own school systems, multi-cultural and nulti-colored Canada a wonderland for humanity, freedom to be what your are and be Canadian too, but only if you want to! Women often outnumber men in our Parliments and we all survive damn cold winterws together in the same snowbank!
I know it sounds strange, but I think the Zamboni was actually invented in Southern California.
To anonymous, Well said! We are built on wonderful nationalities and immigrants.....We are a truly blessed country..and yes the Winters are DAMN cold lol.
As for the Zamboni, my apologies you are right it was invented by Frank Zamboni was born in 1901, in Eureka, Utah.
Thanks for the comments
