this blog is a little less loquacious and perhaps a bit more succinct.
Reblogging because the rest of the world needs to learn to move their lighthouses.
Because they are blocking freedom.
Reblogging because Canadians are amazing.

I always see people using those ‘God Bless America’ eagle graphics ironically so I thought:
oh man, what if Canadians were equally as loud and overzealous with that sort of blind patriotism
what would our obnoxious graphic representation look like
oh god this is amazing
I’m so proud to be Canadian right now. :*)
O CANADA. OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND. *sheds a single tear*

Everybody Needs A Hobby II of the Day: For the past twenty years, Harold Hackett has been tossing bottles stuffed with messages off the coast of Prince Edward Island into the Atlantic Ocean.
Hackett estimates he’s released some 4,800 messages, all with requests for response. So far he’s received some 3,100 replies from people all over the world — and he plans on getting plenty more before he’s done.
“I don’t think I want to quit until I shut my eyes for good,” Hackett says. “I’m gonna go as long as I can.”

Birthday Present of the Day: I’m just guessing here, but I think the mayor of Saint-Théodore-d’Acton, Quebec, is still harboring some feelings of resentment toward his ex-wife.
Quipping that Isabelle Prevost, to whom he was married for ten years until they divorced in 2010, always wanted “a big rock,” Mayor Dany Larivière personally drove a 20-tonne boulder inscribed with the words “happy birthday Isa” to her house, and dumped it on her driveway.
“This is for all you’re doing to me” read a second inscription referencing the heavy financial toll the divorce has taken on Lariviere.
“I took a rock from one of my quarries and I brought it to her place with a little message and a nice ribbon, just like a real gift,” Lariviere is quoted as saying.
The rock has since been removed, and police are investigating the situation ahead of possible harassment charges.
