    any reason Canadians have to say anything invented, or anything done or any war fought was won or created by a Canadian?

    Seriously, Trolling Aside.

    I've seen a few examples over the years of Canadians embellishing accomplishments or or simply making things up..

    So my actual question is: Why does this happen? I dont really care to hear about other people of different countries doing this or that.. I'm asking a Canadian about this in an Ask A Canadian thread.

    Would it be trolling if I pointed out, that is one of said examples?




    The hook-loop fastener was invented in 1948 by Swiss engineer, Georges de Mestral who lived in Commugny, Switzerland. The idea came to him in 1941 after returning from a hunting trip with his dog in the Alps. He took a close look at the burrs (seeds) that kept sticking to his clothes and his dog's fur. He examined them under a microscope, and noted their hundreds of "hooks" that caught on anything with a loop, such as clothing, animal fur, or hair. He spent several years perfecting the method.
