something they said would never happen

John Tyler's face on money. I'm looking at it now. But it's only because the US Mint's presidential vetting process for the dollar coin decided to let in everyone... sort of the presidential equivalent of Everybody Gets a Trophy Day.

Elections, Canada Style

Pooping Puffin Paralyzes Canada Conservative Event

Canada's having an election too, y'know. Before ours, even. Though we like to pooh-pooh our opponents with words, Canada has taken it to the literal level. Well almost.

Also, apparently this was post #4000. 4000 pieces of $#!+.

Head-to-head: Refuge for deserters?

On 3 June, Canada's parliament passed a non-binding motion in favour of allowing deserters to stay

Politicians - always copping out. They should be fined for non-binding motions, they're a waste of time. Either pass a law saying deserters can stay or send them away. Or maybe they're scared of their southern neighbors whose words are backed by nucular weapons. I's not Canadian, so not like I can tell them what to do, but as Fung sees it, if you're for the war, you send the deserters back. If you're against the war, you let them stay. Since Canada's against the war (and therefore, are for the terrists) then it's clear that all dem deserters should stay. Then we can retaliate with tariffs on, er, maple syrup?

Hunt On For 100,000 Stolen Beers

Wednesday September 19, 2007

CityNews.ca Staff

It's a crime that only a Canadian could appreciate - and maybe commit. Peel Police are on the hunt for the culprits who stole two trailers from a Mississauga trucking yard on Wednesday. Inside the massive containers - more than 100,000 bottles and cans of beer.

Cops say the suds stealers crept into the storage spot at 5455 Dixie Road, near Highway 401, just before 4am and they came prepared. They stole two transport trucks to allow them enough space to get the trailers secreted and then made off with their loot undetected. Police say security personnel simply let them leave the complex without a challenge.

One of the containers held more than 69,000 bottles of Moosehead beer, while the other was filled with over 44,000 Moosehead, James Ready Honey Lager and Carlsberg brands. Authorities know their best clue will be the missing big rigs and the contents that were housed in them. None of them should be hard to spot.

One is described as a white 2005 Trailmobile Tri-Axle refrigerated trailer, with New Brunswick license plate THY 189. The other is a shipping container attached to a trailer chassis, bearing the unit #301037.

The trucks used to steal both of them were a blue 2002 Freightliner, with Ontario license plate 811 5TH and a similarly coloured 2003 Freightliner with Ontario plates 967 2VC.

If you've seen any of the evidence that police can use as a sobering clue, call (905) 453-2121, ext. 3313.
