No......us Aussies invented the Electronic Pacemaker - the heart pacemaker was developed at Sydney's Crown Street Women's Hospital in 1926.

 

[Chris Martin]

Is Insulin really a Canadian invention?

Not according to the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) website!!!!

Oh Snap, I smell an international incident!

 

[unforgettableFOXfire]

As much as something the body produces naturally can be an invention. It should read 'synthesized insulin', I guess. *shrug*


We're still doing better than Norway, at any rate.



As for the Wonderbra... you're welcome.

 

[gherman]

WOW a CAnadien invented the goalies mask. Who would have thought

 

[gherman]

Many of these are probably invented in other countries but by someone who just happens to be Canadien. The smart one left the country Kidding

I loved how "Five Pin Bowling Night in Canada" replaced HNIC during the strike

FIVE Pin Bowling??? Oh man, we suck...

Invented by habs that had trouble counting to ten or could not pick up "real" bowling balls (I guess nine pounds is a bit too heavy).

 

[angelordevil]

We pretty much invented everything that is great.

But there have been missteps along the way...Pamela Anderson

Now listen here! I can handle the fact that the Kiwi's have flogged our Lamington Recipe and have made the rest of the world believe that they invented the humble slice made from stale cake!!!!!........but i will not stand for Cheeseheads making out that they made the FIRST ARTIFICIAL ELECTRONIC PACEMAKER!!!

Wasn't the founder of the NBA Canadian? Or was it basketball in general? I don't know. I think James Naismith might be Canadian anyway.

And you guys have venison slurpees too. Right?

He was from Ontario and went to McGill!

Then invented basketball in Mass.
