The Super Dooper Canadian Thread (now with 47% more Canadian Bacon)
It was a turnip.
@Squidleybits has on her iPhone (These are phones that you can carry with you and work like a small computer for any Americans reading) a picture of the most Canadian thing since insulin, but will not share it.
An RCMP officer in full red surg riding a moose through a Tim Hortons drive thru?
A Maple Leafs fan and a Montreal canadiens fan apologizing profusely to eachother passive aggressively after simultaneously reaching for the last Molson in a two four?
Rick Mercer and his partner eating Harveys poutine with the trailer Park Boys while Ellen Page and Ryan Gosling play a two on two game of shinny with Ryan Reynolds and Brent Butt in the background?
Dun dun dun
She's a centrist if there ever was one. Also, she's super fucking level-headed. As long as they aren't sabotaged by corporate interests, the NDP here under her leadership should do quite well. Actually, the only worrying thing I have about the party itself is how many young superleft idealists in her party she'll have to reel in.
HALIGONIAN HALFORUMITES:
I will be landing in Halifax later today,and spending the next week there. I'm in town to visit a friend, but he is also still working 9-5 Mon-Fri. So, if you would like to hang out, eat some donairs and get a beer or two, this is totally feasible. I don't currently have any solid plans for while I'm in town. Friend and I are going to hash that out when I land this afternoon.

Toronto continues to be a stain on Canada: U of Toronto OKs anti-vaccine homeopathy course
Notable excerpt:
Edit: I'm reminded of a quote by I can't remember who: "You know what they call homeopathic remedies that's been proven effective through science? Medicine!" If it still needs the other label, you have your answer.

Some sources put it as Tim Minchin, but he may have taken it from there. It's very much something like he would say.
Edit: Here as well.
I was getting into an internet argument once with one user who was anti-vax and pro homeopathy. I said "are there any homeopathic remedies that work?" Another user responded "vaccines. "
My friend and I drank at Point Pleasant on Saturday, then spent Sunday wandering around from bar to bar before stumblig upon the end of the Jazz Festival. Today I spent the morning watching ships come in and out of the harbour and am now checking out the Maritime Museum (I needed to sit for a bit- my feet are killing me. So I'm poaching their wifi right now).
Tonight I am excited to say I will get to eat my first donair, and tomorrow I'm going to do the ultra tourist thing and take one of the boat tours.
I think we're doing the Keith's Brewery tour on Thursday night, assuming tours run during the evening.
but I am still free during the day most of my stay here.[DOUBLEPOST=1436808549,1436808510][/DOUBLEPOST]

Fuck off.
Well during the day we both work, but I am free ish in the evenings this week.
@Squidleybits and I will be on the peninsula tonight if you are free.
Hot date at the camping store! Hobo fun!
I found the hiking pack of my dreams! There are no short people ones nearby 
Crappy. The evenings are when I am not free. My friend gets off work at 5 every day and we have stuff planned for each night.
Tonight we are going to a bonfire at my friend's coworker's place, tomorrow morning we are going to a beach party being put on by another one of my friend's coworkers. Water's going to be cold as hell but I'm gonna go for it. I went swimming off the coast of PEI this time of year once. I CAN DO THIS.
Then, whatever Pride event we can find. Sunday we are renting segways for shits and giggles, and then seeing how much of Pride we can catch before I need to get on my plane.
