Tonight is the magical night where Father Canuck leaves beaver tails and maple syrups in the igloos of all the good little Canadians! Oh JOY!

Also, his esteemed Majesty, King Justin presents a fragment of a pipeline that will be bogged down endlessly in "meetings" at the Shrine of His Father, The Esteemed Saint P.E.T. in front of the National Igloo, whispering the words "We did it. Those bastards in the West have been Fucked Over again!"


Or at least we think that the Trudeaus think about Alberta and Saskatchewan. And I'm totally not bitter either. ;)
 
Half my Facebook is complaining today about the change in lyrics to Oh Canada.

Happy Canada Day people who probably don't actually know the lyrics to Oh Canada (most of my Facebook).
 
Oh, I've forgotten them, and I'm fine with changing the lyrics. Not that I noticed. Did they remove the bit about God? I want that change.

Happy Canada Day to all, and to all a good fireworks show.
 
Oh, Canada
Our home and native land
True patriot love
In all of us command
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise
The True North strong and free
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee
God keep our land
Glorious and free
Oh, Canada
We stand on guard for thee
Oh, Canada
We stand on guard for thee!

LOSE MONEY ON SHIPPING YOU SONS A BITCHES! I'm gonna get that moneys worth for this shit.

They are not locked out YET from what the latest I've read, though it looks rather likely for a strike and/or lockout.

We'll see!

Amazon's contract with the shipping company is likely a fixed value which doesn't change much based on the number of items they ship. They know their monthly average volume and they just pay a fixed amount per month for everything that's shipped.

So amazon isn't paying more for your items. If anything, FedEx might be losing money, but your small purchases are likely lost in the noise of thousands or tens of thousands of items shipped daily already.

...unless everyone is going to do it.

It's ok to be wrong.

They're a pretty good band that kept it together for so long. It sucks that they have to go out this way. I wasn't able to go to their show here a couple of weeks ago, which was a bummer.

This is my favorite song by them (for whatever reason). I love the harmonic guitar licks in it.

 
Watching the final concert now.

You can too:

The show was great. Not a whole lot of 52 year olds dying of cancer that could put on a great 3 hour show.
Did he rant at his microphone, or speak bad poetry, distracting from the rest of the band's performance? I don't remember him doing it when I saw them ages ago, but I can't watch their concert DVD I have because of that crap.

A little between songs. It was still good.

Was that you asking Colby Cosh about his joke on Twitter? Or just someone with the same avatar?
