A new poll shows that the majority of Canadians will call the cops on you if your party is too loud. Thus proving once and for all that we are a nation of killjoys.
GO buses will run over the holidays. So, no sense worrying about a strike interfering with your vacation, commuters! (Your job, on the other hand, may well be screwed.)
Stephen Harper's latest excuse for not doing enough to combat climate change: voters will complain. Remember, folks, this is a guy who campaigned on bringing principled leadership to Canada.
Canada's charity regulator will more intensely regulate charities. From now on, fundraising expenses won't count as "good works," which means your dinners will be interrupted by approximately .07% less telemarketing calls.
Finally, if you love trans fats—and who doesn't love clogging your arteries with needless poisons only useful for cheapening the cost of food—then Burger King is your restaurant. In celebration, the chain announced plans today to rename the Whopper "the Deathie." (In related news, Swiss Chalet fries are surprisingly okay for you to eat, but everybody already knew that Swiss Chalet fries are awesome.)

Hey Chris have you got a link for that Swiss Chalet factoid? I want to show my wife...
Chalet Sauce is also totallllly healthy!
Or something like no calories or fat, at least.
I wish the same could be said for KFC Chicken Bowls...
Dude, I don't care if Swiss Chalet cures cancer. That stuff just tastes nasty.
I think the fries are considerably less awesome if there's no sauce to accompany them. The sauce is the awesome part... the fries are just sawdust.
I'm boycotting all the year-end interviews with Harper because he's not really a prime minister.
Once we get PM who truly is worthy of the title, I'll resume watching.
The sooner he gets back to Alberta--and stays there--the better the nation will be.
It would be ironic if the policies to combat greenhouse gases start destroying people's livelihoods just as global warming levels off.
