Of Canadian Loons And Good Maple Syrup

Some links before getting started. Norma reviewed a film you may not have heard of.  Parsnip had photos. Eve had a poem. The Whisk had this post about swearing. Maria had a recipe. And Lorelei has a book on sale this week.

"I've been to Canada, and I've always had the impression I could take the country over in about two days." ~ Jon Stewart

"I come from Canada, where it's freezing cold seven months of the year." ~ Rachelle Lefevre

"In Canada nobody is ever overthrown, because nobody gives a damn." ~ Mordecai Richler

"Mordecai, you didn't live to see the current PM, or you'd feel like revising that statement." ~ William Kendall

"I tracked my quarry across the mountains, through the icy streams, along switchback trails going back hundreds of years. This was my land, and he was out of his depth and out of his class being tracked by me. I mean honestly, the man was an entertainment reporter, so he could get outwitted by jellyfish. I followed him all the way to Dead Man's Canyon and cornered him. And when he saw there was nowhere else to run, he pushed his luck one too many times by saying he genuinely believed I played drums for Metallica. Let's just say he'll be spending the next three months in a body cast and leave it at that." ~ Inspector Lars Ulrich
