My wife loves coffee crisp bars. But we found out that she has type "2" diabetes, so those are out. I liked her moms butter tarts better.

#11. I always notice that Canadians always leave out the fact that when they beat back the Colonials they had the help of several divisions of British Red Coats. The same British soldiers that won every major battle in the American Revolution but eventually lost the War.

Huh,..Oh you guys have an Army?
I'm sorry, I didn't notice with all the support you're giving US since 9/11.
When the Canadians stop debating and make a decision, post it here.
Many of us would like to know if your with US or not.
Wait, maybe you already have and we couldn't care less.
Sometimes I think you're worse than the French.

Where the hell are you finding a "BUFFALO" in Canada?
I guess in a zoo or on a farm as there are no indigenous BUFFALO in North America.

There are however BISON which most stupid f*cks refer to as BUFFALO.
Kind of like all those stupid f*cks that refer to "MAGAZINES" as "CLIPS".

Canada has alot of good things that you Americans will never know about since you'll all probably never be citizens of this country. To put down Canada and its people is pure stupidity.

Just because someone in another country is being patriotic you all attack that person as though they are insulting the US. Grow up people, you should be proud of a person who feels so much for their country.

Those of you who put down Canada should realize the only thing that makes Canadians trully different from you all is a imaginary line that seperates us on the map.

[img]http://www.beretta.com/images/alto_beige.jpg[/img]  In 1526 Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta (1490 – 1565/68) of Gardone received 296 ducats as payment for 185 arquebus barrels sold to the Arsenal of Venice. Already in production in the early 1500s, Beretta products were chosen by the highly discriminating Republic of Venice because of their excellence. As the Beretta name became synonymous with uncompromising quality, design, materials, construction and performance, word spread beyond the Italian borders, establishing a tradition that has carried over, uninterrupted, through fifteen generations of Berettas.

The trade secrets and attention to detail Jacopo (1520/25 – ...) inherited from his father Bartolomeo were passed on to his own son Giovannino (1550 – post 1577), then to his grandson Giovan Antonio (1577 – post 1649) – on and on from one century to the next.

In the early 1800s Pietro Antonio Beretta (1791 – 1853), in spite of difficulties arising from constant wars and foreign domination, traveled throughout Italy to demonstrate the superior quality of his products and collect orders. Pietro Antonio’s son Giuseppe (1840 – 1903) continued the arduous effort begun by his father, creating new opportunities for the company through international distribution.

In the early 1900s Pietro (1870 – 1957) took the Company reins, introducing modernized manufacturing methods, many patents for mechanisms and simplified construction, consequently establishing Beretta, the first Italian firearms maker, as one of the most modern firearms production facilities in the world. The modernization process was continued by the sons Giuseppe (1906 – 1993) and Carlo (1908 – 1984), securing the Company’s multinational character with commercial and production activity in numerous European countries and the United States. These efforts created successful ventures in the military, law enforcement and private sectors.



Today, under the leadership of Ugo Gussalli Beretta and his sons Pietro and Franco, Beretta embarks on the 3rd Millennium with the benefit of centuries of experience. That experience, combined with investments in technology, organization and growing product lines, has prepared Beretta for the demands of the global market of the 21st century.

Quality Without Compromise. This core value of total commitment to quality was established by Bartolomeo Beretta almost five centuries ago, and continues to be the bedrock of our Company today. As a crucial part of our Mission, it remains the unchanging key to Beretta's worldwide success.

As a Kid, I grew up in Saskatchewan in western Canada, and one summer back in the 60s the local Ski-Doo dealership of the town of Quill Lake had the new Sea-Doo out at a place called Marean Lake near Archerwill.

So, I reckon the Canadians invented these too. It was the traditional yellow with black stripe, and was made of alot of plywood, long before the sleak modern Sea-Doos of today. I was on one about a month ago. 80km/hr accross a nearby bay. What a blast. Bombardier has come along way form that plywood thing!

Hey Yanks, John Garand was a Canadian too, and look what he did for the USA. The 1st nation ever to adopt an SA rifle as standard issue (1936). Then there was the M14, etc.
