Canada is the third leading cause of tooth decay next to smoking and improper flossing.Canada has the largest per capita sock collection at 107 socks per capita and even has a support group. There is an association for it called the (Sock Per Capita Association)and they meet almost every 3rd Wednesday unless there is a need for an executive meeting which is confidential for obvious reasons. Canada has free healthcare but free beer would be much more cost effective IMO.

lifeisadream: About the socks, do they all have a match?
Excellent question. Thank you and unfortunately I am not in the executive so I have no clue. My personal tip is to buy only white socks and just color coordinate them.
chatonlyman2: Canada came close to owning Alaska but got there too late so Russia sold it to the US.
One or 2 million from what I remember.I will look that up. I heard early explored/traders exchanged guns for beaver pelts and used the length of the barrel to equal the height of the pelts. Then the European made The Long Guns which were overly long barreled/inaccurate and deceiving.I heard the North original people got some revenge. Hudson Bay area around 1700?

I TOTALLY agree about free beer!!
And yup,...I have donated many a sock to sockless nations!
Track16: The Newfoundland Kangaroo has been clocked at up to 40 mph.
Unfortunately clocked by Newfoundland pickups doing 50 mph....
Newfoundland Kangaroo declared possibly extinct 2004... (although a few may exist in PEI near the Green Gables House....last sighting of one on the Confederation Bridge was 2008)
