Sorry that we’re a few days late getting to this one – we were busy preparing for the important, officially-recognized federal holiday of Sir Wilfrid Laurier Day, which is a mere two days away dontcha know! – but Jim Coyle managed to puke up a pretty ridiculously over-the-top column in the Star a few days [...]

Alright, we’ve had a nice enough break to collect our thoughts, let’s keep tackling this dumb thing we already started and keep exploring Canada’s Guide To Being A Good Little Canadian!
Page 21:
WHOA WHOA WHOA, who decided this crap? I can think of SOMEONE BETTER.
Overall Note:
So far in this pamphlet, there’s been at least 7 apologies [...]

Yay, they finally let me, your “assistant editor” (eff that, makes me sound like a secretary, why can’t I be Co-Editor or Official Pretty Princess? LOOK INTO IT, MATT) make a post! I asked what I should write about. I was told to write about “something womanly, to attract female readers.” But girl stuff is [...]

Head On?
This indescribably awkward Miracle Whip ad about how their slightly-off-tasting mayonnaise is really a punk-rock parkour party lifestyle?
