"It’s normal to be afraid of something you don’t understand. For example, math, Tyler Perry, or whether or not girls actually fart are all quite scary things. However, I’m sure with a little research you’ll find that whatever was scaring you is really just Canadians with flashlights…" - AJ Batac from Bookmarklet
That'd make a good list: Things suspicious people can be doing with flashlights. - ronin

"Many Lucy Maud Montgomery fans may be shocked next week when they encounter the dark themes in the final Anne of Green Gables book, but a literary scholar says it's a side of the iconic Canadian author that was always there." - T. Brent, technopeasant from Bookmarklet
*blink* Rilla of Ingleside (the 8th book in the series) was pretty damn dark. Anyone who is "shocked" by the new book must not have read the entire series. - Soup
Soup I agree. I did read the entire series. - Melanie Reed
@Melanie, It's embarrassing to admit but nothing makes me cry like Montgomery. I just WEEP. - Soup
@Soup Sounds like you have the soul of a warrior-poet inside! - Melanie Reed
L.M.montgomery suffered from depression for a good part of her life - any of her readers who didn't know that may not have read between the lines of her books which were about life, full of flowers and thorns same as her own - - sally stokhamer
It's good for Canada's self-image when one of it's literary heros is shown to be human... rather than the purveyor of sweetness she's sometimes thought to be. I'm reminded of Virginia Woolf's image of "killing the angel". - T. Brent, technopeasant

Canadians has T-Rex dollars. Your argument is invalid.

This coin’s exceptional design reveals just how immense the jaws of this formidable predator were—it’s an amazing find that any coin collector, nature lover and dinosaur hunter would be proud to call their own. - AJ Batac

"Google Street View of Google Maps that shows high-resolution, 360 degrees street-level images on the web, is now live in some major Canadian cities. Google Street View is now available in Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Squamish, B.C., Whistler, B.C., Ottawa, Kitchener, Ontario, Waterloo, Ontario and my favorite city Vancouver! Here’s a screenshot of my favorite street in Vancouver B.C." - AJ Batac from Bookmarklet
Because of the way they film this, a direct front-view of my house is not included. Hooray for living between cul-de-sacs. - Kenton
Hamilton and Mississauga seem there as well -- not sure why they don't make the list. - Brian Sullivan
Brian, I'll update the post. Thanks! - AJ Batac
Because the rest of the country thinks they're part of Toronto :-) OK, Ontarians know Hamilton isn't :-) - Scott of Two Countries
I noticed Hamilton was up as well. Strange that it wasn't in the list. It's not a small city. - Kittyburgers

This is where AJ Batac's from I believe...Winnipeg Manisnowba, he may look all civil and starched collar/tie, but when the polar bears come & threaten their igloos in Winnipeg they become feral spear chuckers, they also eat babbies :D [awesome photo essay] - sofarsoShawn
Yep. This is where I am. Sad to accept that winter is just around the corner. :( - AJ Batac
Visiting Churchill for the polar bears has been on my list for a while. May need to bump it up a few. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
BTW, it's not only Manisnowba... it's Winterpeg, ManItsColdHere :D - AJ Batac
LOL or just "the Wiener" =:o) - sofarsoShawn
For those who *still* don't know... I live on the coldest major city in the universe (and it sucks in the winter). - AJ Batac
& it's not the one where you actually get to see the polar bears (that was jokes, though in the same province) but one wayyyy down south (Winnipeg) not far from the Canada/US border. Supposed to be nice summers though. - sofarsoShawn
Yeah, we've had 2 weeks of 30C summer this year. It's been good to us. Unfortunately, it ends this week. - AJ Batac
