A report released yesterday by the Conference Board of Canada raised an alarm that Canada is in the doldrums when it comes to innovation. But after discovering this poster (at right) on the bulletin board at the Valu Pet Store at College and Augusta, the suggestion our society is failing to innovate seems mistaken.
This event—The Hairless Pet Picnic—sends a clear signal that as a city, we are indeed innovating and, by so doing, teetering briskly away from a dark age. Toronto is continuing its rich tradition of hosting cultural activities to suit the interests of one and all, a sure sign of a healthy civil society. The Hairless Pet Picnic may also mean that Toronto has an increased propensity for hairless pets and even hairlessness as a general state of being. It is plausible that hairless pets are gaining in popularity—after all, cat-hair-covered condos and lofts are asthmatic and linty. With the summer months upon us, hairlessness for Torontonians continues to be in vogue, even prompting some women to "get a Brazilian."
The Hairless Pet Picnic takes place in the bowl at Trinity Bellwoods Park on Sunday June 24 at 6:00 p.m.

and the Sphinx cat is pure Canadian, it's a spontaneous mutation, the first litter was found in Kingston.
Finally, showin' some love for skinny pigs!
I believe the hairless cat community has nothing to do with brazilian waxing. Only a hairy pet owner would think such a thing.
That being said, I do believe that hairless is next to godliness, as many egyptian gods were hairless.
So what you are saying is, it is only people with uncontrolled body hair who own pets with uncontrolled body hair that believe that owners of hairless cats have Brazilians. Isn't it a wild world?! oh yeah believe it baby!! and the crazy connection here is, the SPHINX WAS EGYPTIAN WAS IT NOT? I am excited to see all the sphinxes in the park this sunday. whether they are canadian or egyptian i don't care one iota.
