Obviously, first assist to the British, but we did push you back to St. Louis. We're not taking Steven Baldwin as retribution though.

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:45:47 -0800 Comment by Lloyd Clydesdale The very significant contingent of Canadians at Safeco Field for last night's Blue Jays opener will, doubtlessly, be out-rah-rahed by themselves tonight.

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:48:52 -0800 Comment by Chris To correct the blogger, they arent celebrating the 4th of July, they are celebrating Canada Day, formally called Dominion Day. The occasion marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. Check your facts.

Been changed, that is.

Usually every 2-3 years.

Cider? Fuck that shit!

Molson! Molson Canadian!

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:50:52 -0800 Comment by bearseatbeats You know, Canada is regarded for its beer for some reason, but I've always found the big Canadian brands (Molson et al.) to be just slightly above your average American Budweiser schwill, this coming from a Real Live Canadian TM. Drinkable schwill, but schwill nonetheless. Admittedly, I do have a penchant for micro-brews and Belgian beer. I also dislike hockey...actually I think I might be disqualified as Canadian. Oops.

I stand by my True North Strong And Free extra proof hard cider.
