Canadian Inventions

Okay,
I need to know if the push-up bra (also known as WonderBra 1300) was a Canadian Invention or not?

..and I'm gonna sound stupid, but the Macintosh Apple as well.. Although I'm 80% sure it's American, I just wana make sure here...

Thanks to those who help!

apple was definately american
steve jobs was the founder, resided in silicon valley
hence the movie pirates of silicon valley
push up bra tho...no idea

In 1994 Bali launched the WonderBra in the U.S. But the first real WonderBra was the "WonderBra - Push Up Plunge Bra," invented in 1963 by Canadian designer, Louise Poirier.

ATI is canadian

I don't know if it's the same but would it be the Push-up bra (WonderBra 1300) because that's the first push-up bra invented.

I think u guys invented CANADIAN BACON

I would think so, since it says "the first real Wonderbra". And 1963 is a lot older than I thought it would be.

Edit: Saw a page on the history of the braissere and it didn't mention anything before that time, so I'd say it's legit.

one VERY important item on that list.

the synthesizer is a Canadian invention, thus, Canada gave birth to trance in a sense

Who, despite popular opinion, did not invent the lightbulb.

It was patented in britain a year earlier by a british inventor .

Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans were Canadian.

so??


The first electric light was invented by englishman Humphry Davy.

The first practical lightbulb was also invented by an englishman... Joseph Swan.

Those canadians just came up with something inbetween , Edison bought the patent and fiddled with it for a bit, making it commercially viable, he patented it a year after swan, and swan latter sucessfuly took him to court over it.

why dont we fast forward to the year 2003 and see whos doin better ;O

cpt the canadian will be all talkin about crime rates an she it

re-read your earlier post.

Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans PATENTED the LIGHTBULB

I know the English created the first electric light, but we were talking about patenting the lightbulb

OH well, the lightbulb was really an international project with help from everyone

The first electric light was english.

Many other people were designing electric lights, none of which would last any length of time, and would be far too expensive to be used.

In 1854 a German watchmaker called Henricg Globel invented the first electric light inside a bulb, using a carbonised bamboo filament. This light bulb would not last long before burning out and was therefore not viable.

21 years later, in 1875 Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans patented a light bulb, which I'm assuming burned out quickly and therefore wasn't viable, so they sold the patent to Thomas Edison.

In 1878, British inventor, Joseph Swan invented the first light bulb that would last any length of time, and would therefore be commercially viable. He patents his design in Britain.

The following year 1879, Thomas Edison has finished his work on the Woodward and Evans bulb, and had experimented with it until it became practical, he patents in the USA.

Some time later Joseph Swan successfully sues Thomas Edison, and is awarded part of General Electric.


So what did these Canadian inventors invent??

They didn�t invent the first electric light, that was an English invention. They didn�t even invent the first light bulb, that was German, and they didn�t even invent the first commercially practical light bulb either (English).
