For everyone, including the Russians.

There actually is one, but you have to hire them for events.

I have no doubt about that. I do miss poutine, sadly it's hard to come by in Dublin.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Kevin eat poutine, once many years ago.

And curse the country to another decade of Liberal government, or worse alternating Liberal and NDP governments. The "true blue" faction needs to learn that ideological purity is a path to the wilderness and social conservatism is a complete non-starter in suburbia. I would have thought that...

Can’t leave out: HMCS Just Giver HMCS Lard Tunderin

I thought Canadian operated flower class corvettes were all named after Canadian towns and cities? Given the current political climate and Canadian destroyer naming convention, perhaps a new "Tribal Class" would be appropriate. Have a revered member of each named band be the commissioning...
