A Happy Dominion Day (or "Canada Day") to all of the W's from Canada! The benefit of living in Ottawa; no shortage of stuff to do! My plans; going out with the fiance to grab some Beaver Tails and ~POUTINE! After that probably just walking around and seeing if anything itneresting is going on. She does want to go to a free concert at the NAC, so that'll likely happen as well.

I'm spending the day on my lawn, hosting a kiddy-pool party, with a Super Nintendo available on the deck and many cold beverages. This should be a good day.
It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects.
There's a Canadian-themed bar here in Houston...the aptly named Maple Leaf Pub. We're hitting there in a bit for some Canada Day festivities.
The wife tried to get some Alexander Keith's imported for me, but the liquor distributor couldn't bring it in. Looks like I'm gonna have to drink Moosehead all night. Sad.
I celebrated Canada Day by going to a pancake breakfast in the morning, playing a decent round of golf in the afternoon, and waking up at 3:00am to gunfire a block from my house.
Gang-related or simply a cattle-rustling deal gone bad? Details aren't out yet.
On Canada Day, I worked a midnight shift, so I spent most of it sleeping. En route to work, I checked out a couple of celebrations downtown (I had a few minutes to kill waiting for a bus) and then caught some of the fireworks...they were kinda sorta viewable from my workplace.
It's not. The article says "where some nationalists are quick to take offense at what they see as unfair treatment by the country's English-speaking majority". By "nationalists" they're likely speaking of "sepratists", those people who somehow think all of Quebec's problem will go away if they leave the country to make their own.
Seriously, poutine is awesome. Every REAL Canadian knows this (or at least respects this).

Not to pick out one thing from a post that put a smile on my face, but what's with the dig on conservative Christians? You shouldn't be afraid to say you have a faith, and doing so doesn't make you a bad person, or a Bible thumper or something.
