Yes, Canada Day, because we’re pretty straight-forward up here.
Â
I hope you get a chance to celebrate this most glorious of days in true Canadian fashion, with some Poutine (french fries with cheese curds, with gravy poured over top so everything melts), smoked meat (I have no idea what animal smoked meat is from, actually), and a good Canadian beer or two. Also, as good as Labatt’s Blue and Molson Export are as compared to, say, most American beers (from big breweries that is), I implore you to consider that most people under the age of 30 drink those beers ironically, if at all.
So, Happy Canada Day! Whether you’re a Canadian or just wish you were (and you’re welcome to come up!) this is the one day a year where we can be rowdy about how awesome we are. Tomorrow we’ll just nod and smile politely.

Chris,
Smoked Meat is made from beef.
It is also alternately known out here on the west coast as: “Montreal Smoked Meat” or “Montreal Smoked Beef”.
When in doubt, remember that Smoked Meat is similar to Corned Beef (and Pastrami).
Is that Charlie Brown on the right?
Jeff- Probably not, though if I were Charlie Brown I’d probably run away from all those assholes and live in the Yukon myself…
