We had the "Unisex Bandit" get caught on the tail end of a province wide bank-robbing spree here a few years back. "fella" who was robbing banks to save up enough money to finish it's sex change, the top half had already been done and apparently looked like a well-endowed female, he hadn't saved...
Silver, if you REALLY want to get peeved, look up the section of NAFTA that says Canada can't charge the Americans one penny more for Canadian oil than Canadians pay.
I listen to Johnny Reid a fair bit, mostly because I played football with him in university. His singing voice sounds almost nothing like him.
Fair bit of Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tea Party.
That's why I don't buy toys for children. My daughters are each getting a broom and dustpan. My son's getting tools. My neighbours 7 year old has been having a rough time building his treehouse so he's getting a chainsaw. His 9 year old brother is tired of piano lessons so he's getting a...
Blowing snow and freezing rain here now, took the kids to see the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train today (Melanie Doane, Wide Mouth Mason, and Santa) then stopped at my sister's for supper, when we left there was half an inch of ice on the van.
I'm almost 2 hours out, try to avoid Toronto as much as possible. Be careful, I think we're supposed to get an ice storm tonight and maybe tomorrow and colder all week so don't let anybody break a hip.

My father went to college in St. Anne-de-Bellevue in Montreal, near the big veteran's hospital, and met some of the nurses there who were about his age. At that time (early 60s) they still had many men in the hospital who were victims of mustard gas from WWI and had never been out of the...
To give an idea how much impact those 4 days had: approximately 1 out of every 1000 Canadian males (of all ages) died at Vimy Ridge. That would be like 160,000 US men or about 16,000 Canadians dying in a 4 day battle today.

Easter 2007 is the 90th anniversary of the First World War Canadian military attack on Vimy Ridge in France. CBC is commemorating the events with special broadcast coverage, online photo galleries: Four Days in April about the battle and Building the towers about Canada's war...
It's not hard to see where it comes from. At my oldest daughter's nursery school "graduation" last year, 4 out of the 10 mothers were showing the better part of their butt floss.
