Happy Canucksgiving!

I can't believe I missed Canadian Thanksgiving! I didn't even realize it had passed until I got an email from Dennis, Rob's dad, with a list of 5 reasons to be proud that you're a Canadian:
  • Canada was the first country in the world to adopt a policy of multiculturalism.
  • Canada has the world’s largest national park (Wood Buffalo National Park).
  • Canada consistently leads the world in adult literacy.
  • Canada has the longest bar in the world (Lulu’s in Kitchener, Ontario).
  • According to one study, Winnipeg, Manitoba is the dandruff capital of the world.

The item of particular note on this list is the "longest bar in the world" claim because, as Dennis pointed out, the Beer Barrel Saloon in Put-In-Bay, OH also claims that. And they are correct; the BB Saloon was recognized in the 1994 Guiness World Book of Records as having the longest bar. Guess I'll have to find new reasons to be proud of being Canadian. [tee hee]
