What's new in Canada this week? Nothing, but one line diaries aren't allowed.
So I'm going to try to stretch it out a little here in the style of Bill in Portland Maine (BIPM). I'll be Paul in Southern Saskatchewan (PISS). Uh, no. Maybe Paul in Southern Ontario (PISO).
Tim Horton's A little girl fishes a coffee cup out of a school garbage can to see if it is a winner in the Roll up the Rim contest. She's 10 and can't roll the rim so she asks a 12 year old to help. They discover the cup entitles the bearer to a brand new SUV!. Now the lawsuits start to fly, including one from the teacher who claims she threw the cup in the trash. Who say's Canadians aren't like our litigious neighbours to the South?

March Break Beginning today all school children are off for a week. The fortunate ones are with their parents winging their way south. Last week Kossacks commented on the plan for the new Catholic community of
AVE MARIA in Florida. Where were Kossacks 15 years ago when Canadian's established
Maple Leaf in Port Charlotte a culturally restricted foothold in the Tarheel state?
I'm trying to keep my potential of thousands of Americans in mind and I'm going to follow the tried and true writing technique advocated by BIPM and RenaRF and pioneered by Ernest Hemingway. The liquor cabinet is fairly bare and it is early but I've discovered that beer and donuts aren't that bad together.
The Great Wall Thank God, G*d, god, Goddess what's up with this PC stuff and why should I um Thank you Senator Leahy for killing the proposal made by wingnut Republicans to build a wall or fence along the Canada-USA border. Although I do like the idea of keeping Patrick Buchanan on the other side of a fence. Doesn't the USA have better things to do? Our Public Security Minister Stockwell Day hasn't made a public pronouncement on this yet. I hope he told them we're not paying for it. Stock's studying the idea of a National ID card while contemplating scrapping the National gun registry, yeah that's going to make us safer.
Ok now I've let the dog, yes dog out. No pootie pics here! (Mostly because I haven't been able to figure out the damn html. Here's a pre-africkin-storic fish that ought to scare the fur off your pootie though. One of these was caught in the St. Lawrence last week.
I've got a bit of an appetite now and discovered that microwaved leftover poutine (obscure cultural reference for my homies) is very good with some Niagara Baco Noir, although it is not my usual breakfast. (I've noticed my writing is a bit more edgy and more streak of conscious after that third beer. Moe like a a milne or E. E. Cummings. Which wrote Winnie the Pooh? Classic wasn't it? Well here's your obscure Canadian factoid of the day. Winnie the Pooh was a Canadian bear! I love that little guy.
Geez the dog just jumped up and knocked over the rest of the bottle of wine. I'm moving on to rye now. I put on some soup. I don't seem to be moving so quickly now. Where was I? You really don't care to hear about how much oil the USA imports from Canada? Ask Jerome he's got some charts. We are number one! I can't remember how do the links.
Sorry, sorry, I had to leave for a bit there. The soup boiled over and started to burn. Those smoke detectors are damn loud and the missus is louder when she's been awaken on a sleep-in Saturday. The dog is chasing a cat.
Everyting is OK! Who knew chunky beef was so flammable? My wife wants me out of the house so I'm going to walk the dog because I need a Tim's right about now. Someone else can do this next week.
