Angela Merkel arrives at the airport in Paris.
"Nationality?" asks the immigration officer.
"German," she replies.
"Occupation?"
"No, just here for a few days."

Dog prices in Canada are insane. It's one reason we drove to the US for Charlee, we wanted a specific breed (dachshund) and prices in Canada were like 2,000+, I was like nope never paying that much for a dog.

Canada made CNN again, this time for warnings of moose licking cars which until now I didn't know was even a thing moose desired to do.

Also made snopes, guess people thought it was fake.

There are some big bears in the river right now; I just saw a couple that seemed to be scrapping over a salmon.
edit; they're switching the cams around, this is pretty good
