It took more than thirty years, but we’ve finally done it. We broke the American dollar.
Now for all the National Post articles claiming this is bad for our country. Of course it is: because you chained us to your bloody Conservative trade policy of bending over and giving the Americans anything they wanted. I only hope it ruins the venal minority who thrust this, unwanted, upon our country.

The correction they ran, after emailing all (both?) of their subscribers with the offending article:
And the potentially offensive subject line?
“Why don’t you go f*@! yourself”
In related news, how much joy do you think it gave the Globe and Mail to run that? NOOOOooobody does po-faced intramural sniping like us Canadians.

Because I have so many blogs, and because I am yea, very easily confused, forsooth, I wrote a post for Ayyyy.com which place does, in fact and in actuality, pay me to read gossip blogs (NOT kidding. Life is a cabaret, old chum) and say “go look at that…now go look at this…now look at that” etc.
Yes, I am getting paid to read gossip blogs.
My sister is going to eat her lips when she reads that.
In any case, here’s the post that was going to put food on my table this month, until I remembered that I’m only supposed to do this during the week. And it’s the weekend. And I thought, bugger it, I can at least feed the ol’ raincoaster blog with it.

Why, you ask…to which I reply, ever been there? Here’s the must-see movie of the year, coming soon to a theatre anywhere but Toronto.
From the movie’s site:
If there’s one thing that truly unites Canadians it’s our national pastime of bashing Toronto. The first film on the subject, Let’s All Hate Toronto is a hilarious tongue-in-cheek road doc. The film follows “Mister Toronto” as he embarks on a coast-to-coats Toronto Appreciation tour, encountering “recovering Torontonians” and those who would be quite happy never to step foot in TO.
Is Toronto really Torauma, Onterrible? Yes, according to a “professional Toronto hater.” And in Calgary they finally discover the answer to a question that has boggled them for ages: why do all the trees point west? (“Because Toronto sucks that much.”)
Now, this all sounds fairly straightforward, and I, of all people, am not one to dismiss something that unites all of our great, yet divided, nation (really, only laughing at Conrad Black comes anywhere near close) but there is one little problem, one teensy thing preventing me from joining in the risibling and the ridiculizing.
What is this “Toronto” of which they speak?

Honestly, it’s no wonder the boy’s so popular!
From Agent Bedhead:
Daniel proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that his talents go well beyond acting.
The Harry Potter star can also do what he calls “disgusting things with my tongue.”
Just incidentally, I think it’s safe to say that between his fame, his money, and that tongue, Daniel will never, ever lack for a date.
