The list is endless.

Beer: American pisswater should be poured back in the horse. I don't  care
HOW big a can they put it in.

Canadarm: I'm not sure. Did you burn the last one up when you crashed the
second orbiter?

Synthetic Radar imaging: Now sold to a U.S. company. Ah, well. If they can't
buiild it, they can always buy it..

Reverse Osmosis desalination ( we supply the much larger U.S. army
contingent in Afghanistan because they can't keep their equipment going )

Airborne Geophysics: Still, despite takeover by a European corporation.
Again, it is still Canadian produced technology.

Cellulose Ethanol: See Iogen corporation in Ottawa

Biodiesel: New process cuts the cost of processing for diesel fuel by a
large factor.

High Speed Internet: Not held back by stupid U.S. style 'baby bell'
fragmentation and conflicting monopolies.Alberta is a particularly good
example of developing the infrastructure in a planned way.

Medicare: The 'single payer' insurance costs about 50% to 75% compared to
the U.S. and gives equivalent(though not identical) quality of service.

Web Hosting:  See www.websuites.ca

The list in pretty large, so I'll stop with a very few minor examples. How
are you doing in Chicago? Figured out that tor.forsale isn't located in your
Lala land? Hint: "tor" is short for Toronto, Canada. Hope that helps.
