Five Canadian Things

[commodorified]

1)
(A stopsign in PEI altered to say Stop Harper)

The writ has dropped, election October 19.

2) Fire out West. Water back East.

You're almost certainly not as concerned as you should be.




(Two maps showing temperature and precipitation changes across Canada, 1950-2010)

3) Stop carding. Stop carding now.

4) I'm still not switching back to Rogers.

Rogers apologizes for showing porn on CHCH: Gaffe marks 2nd time in 3 years pornography was aired instead of news

5) We like Canadian Music..

Oh yes.

http://rabett.blogspot.ca/2012/05/natural-variability-is-not-lukewarmers.html (which has a link to the original paper) is a good high level explanation of why.

The Shark-eyed Man is of course paid to not know these things, and not by the people of Canada.

I am concerned for the good name of sharks, here.

Though I suppose it's too late to try to get "The Revenant" happening as a nickname instead, he has always looked to me like someone who was found in a graveyard, hastily dusted off, and handed to an experienced undertaker for a convincing makeup job.

Sharks are admittedly much maligned.

I know some quite excellent and lovely people who happen to have inherited the surname of Harper, too.

I try not to think of the Reverend Schilling from Stross' The Apocalypse Codex, myself.
