If I'm allowed one more gripe - there's also no news. Peter McKay calls his ex a dog and it's front page headlines? Come on Canada, do something exciting!!!
Don't get me wrong though, I love this place
As they say, no news is good news...

Mercer is a Newf and I believe that Newf humour and Brit humour are similar (sarcasm, irony etc).

BTW on a separate note is this Jonny Botswana guy for real?
His posts make me laugh but i'm not sure they are meant to.
