It is a Canadian hybrid wheat developed specifically to grow in the prairies, Completely developed in Canada by Canadian agriculturalists. I learned that way back in elementary school. That was way back when the Canadian teachers actually knew something about Canada.

Ney, Manitoba, prairie flour is shipped all over the world. It was one of the first commodities from Canada shipped to the Soviet Union during the height of the cold war. I remember the hype that was caused when we started shipping it. You young-uns would be a lot better off if you read a bit more of your history than just about oil and gas fields. You have much more to offer the world than these.
And you forgot to mention, we are a lot SMARTER than the Americans.
It s true, Americans have hugged the limelight for 70 years, always, ahem, Trumping the news. No matter how loud we shout, it is always the American voice that is heard in Europe. But really, the reason lies not just in America's behavior, or even Canada's, but in the complete disinterest of Europeans in even bothering to learn anything about Canada, the assumption in Europe being that we are just 'not significant' compared to the US. Even though we did a lot more to defend Europe in the two Great Wars than America did. We were the ones that developed the strategies for the new technological warfare (Vimy Ridge, for example), the Americans simply copied them. It's just that the Americans took all the claim.
Vancouver and Alberta (for graphics) are world leader communities for game development. Unfortunately, most of the second and third stage development money is from America, so even if the game was designed and created in Canada, it is usually marketed in America. It's all about who distributes the game, not who first develops it, that determines 'country of origin'.

What turns a Canadian into a Terrorist? A terrorist organization, plan and simple.
I know this for a fact, having watched a Canadian youth turned into a terrorist right before my eyes.
Something the Americans do not want the world, and especially other Americans, to know about Canada. Canada is at the forefront of developing the next stage of clean, harmless, safe nuclear power that actually uses existing nuclear waste as the fuel.

The irony is that Canadian physicists were instrumental in developing the technology 50 years ago. It is the same technology that the Americans used in their nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. But because of 'security concerns', the Americans prevented the Canadians from even mentioning the technology, under fear of lifetime incarceration. It was 'Avro Arrow' silencing on steroids. However, these reactors were so small, that development on them could be confined to the basement of a University physics building, or even under a greenhouse. Yet not only did Canadian universities, engineers, and scientists have to deny they existed, they could not even say they do not exist, because that would acknowledge they even recognized the possibility of the technology. Yet there they were, in American submarines, clear as day evidence that they existed.
And yet the most effective and less harmful drug proven to work against inflammation and inflammatory post-op pain - CBD oil - was not only banned, but any research into its usefulness was made illegal as well.
It is credible to say that the Opioid crisis was actually a .made-in-Vietnam' crisis, in the sense that it gained a lot of traction from the returning American Vets from Vietnam, who were horribly injured (both mentally and physically) but ignored by the American system. They had no alternative but to seek solace from their emotional as well as physical pain in opioids.
Vietnam was the worst defeat of America in their entre history, It completely destroyed America. and for absolutely no good reason. Under the same system that America tried to quash, Vietnam is now an economic and industrial powerhouse, a major exporter to America.. A complete and senseless waste of American lives and resources. Moreso in that the bottomless pit for money became so all-encompassing to the American economy that funding for the entire space endeavor completely dried up, along with funding for physics research. America hasn't won a serious Nobel prize in Physics in decades.
Matters not, the BQ is still the most proficient at protecting sovereignty. Canada could benefit from using a lot of their tricks and techniques, including their bluster.
On the contrary, it just perpetuates the problem. It does not stop the insidious creep, it just pretends it is not there. Like burying one's head in the sand. The trick is to stop it from happening in the first place. Americans are quite adept at doing it in their own country (blocking out and filtering the influences of the rest of the world on their culture) so why can Canadians not do the same thing?
The Canadian film industry is so huge that a great majority of 'Hollywood' films have at least part of the movie shot in Canada. Night at the Museum (all of them) was a big one that very few people realize was shot in Canada. I Robot, also parts of it shot here. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Chronicles of Riddick (all of them) was shot in Canada. The list goes on and on and on. The reason why so few Canadians recognize Canadian cities and settings in the American movies is that the sets are aways 'Americanized' - American flags, American money, American license plates, American road signs, American brands, American store branding, American iconography. Even if you knew it was shot in Canada, you would hardly recognize it as Canadian. The sets are purposely designed to look American. Even when it is supposed to be a Canadian city in the movie.
