Top 5 Canadian Ideas

Posted on July 2, 2008 - Filed Under Random

In celebration of Canada Day, I have pulled together a list of the top 5 ideas born by Canadians. Imagine what life would be like if none of these were invented!

As chosen by the people:

1. Insulin (1921, Frederick Banting, Charles Best)
2. The telephone (1876, Alexander Graham Bell)
3. The light bulb (1874, Henry Woodward, Mathew Evans)
4. Canada Arm (1975, Spar Aerospace/NRC)
5. BlackBerry (1999, Mike Lazaridis)

As chosen by me:

1. Instant Replay (1955, CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada)
2. Retractable Beer Carton Handle (1957, Steve Pasjack)
3. Basketball (1892, James Naismith)
4. Poutine (1957, Fernand Lachance)
5. Instant Mashed Potatoes (1962, Edward Asselbergs)

Anything that I’ve missed?
