74. Canada & Denmark dispute sovereignty over Hans island, located between Canada & Greenland. The countries take turns planting their flags and leaving alcoholic beverages for their counterparts on the island.
75. During the 1979-1980 Iranian Hostage Crisis, in which the Iranians attacked and overran the US Embassy, the Americans who escaped were hidden and given refuge by the Canadians. The Canadians then helped them sneak out of Iran to safety. The Canadians did this at their own risk and peril. In times of crisis, you find out who your friends are. Thanks, Canada!

81. Maybe he's been mentioned already and I missed it, but Col. Chris Hadfield. Probably the most famous and popular astronaut of the last couple decades and lives just down the highway from me in Sarnia (in fact, their local airport is named for him). First man to record a music video in zero-g.
Sorry, these are number's 70.-126. (Canada needs help getting to 1000 after all)

168. Montreal (my city) repeatedly appears on Top-10 lists for most beautiful women around the world. From two different sources:
"This city keeps popping up on every ranking for beautiful women and not without a reason. French Canadian city of Montreal is a sexy combo of European charm and North American cheek. Montreal hosts a vigorous nightlife, and its women's beauty can even compete with the beauty of the city itself. The city with a fantastic fashion scene is bustling with models, and as a sexy bonus, many of them also speak French. And who would refuse of being seduced with the lovely language of love?"
"Perhaps it's the French Canadian flavor or the fact that Europe meets North America in this multicultural city, or maybe it's because hundreds of communities take a liking to Montreal's charm. In Montreal, the variety of women is as wide as the colors in a rainbow's spectrum, and come in all shapes, forms and fashions; just ask the celebrities and athletes that always stop by. With so many colleges and universities, one cannot help but notice the overwhelming amount of fresh flesh. The city's thriving fashion scene provides residents and tourists with sufficient models, and considering that the city's population is approximately two million, you get the most beautiful women in terms of density. Pound for pound, Montreal is a world-class "babe" city."
