On the one hand, Alexander Muir, a schoolteacher and Orangeman who wrote Canada’s confederation song, “The Maple Leaf Forever,” in 1867, is a pretty important person in our country’s history, totally deserving of an extraordinarily lovely mural on Queen Street East, in Leslieville.
On the other hand, The Dark Knight was a really amazing movie, and we also really enjoy things that are funny.
We’re gonna call this one a draw.
