troy: I was reading up on the stats. Canada has won more medals every winter Olympics for the last 20 years.
amanda: Because they keep adding new sports that we’ve invented. We always win when no one else has had a chance to learn how to do it yet!

The only time I’ve ever seen a commercial with a talking beaver, or any beaver for that matter, is when I’m in Canada.

It’s been officially cold and snowy for less than a week and already I am fucking tired of listening to people complain about it. Which is why this struck such a chord with me:

This is the true north strong and free, and cold, and wet, and icy, and dark – sometimes all at once. It’s why God invented long johns. This is Canada. We have winter. Life sucks, get a toque.

Amen!
