Well, there have been a few good things invented and discovered here. The telephone for one. Brantford On is the telephone city. The first call ever transmitted was done there. The discovery of insulin has saved millions from certain death. There have been many other medical discoveries by Canadians. The mapping of the brain is an interesting one although it was a Canadian at Harvard. The world can thank Canada for the snowmobile, the first commercial passenger jet, the hydrofoil boat, that was Alexander Graham Bell again, The snow blower, the fog horn. The prosthetic hand and the electric wheelchair and the electron microscope.
ASDIC and sonar were key Canadian inventions that helped win WW2. The compound steam engine for marine use was invented by a Canadian in 1842.
Hockey and basketball were invented by Canadians and the instant replay was invented by CBC in 1955. The goalie mask was invented in Canada.
Pablum, wonderbra, the garbage bag, alkaline battery and the egg carton. The caulking gun and the electric oven.
The Caesar cocktail is a Canadian institution. You can`t get one in the USA. They drink bloody Marys there. YUK!

One slight correction. The first phone call, where the famous line " come here Watson I need you" was spoken, took place at Mr.Bell's lab in Boston.
The first long distance call took place in Ontario.
