    The penny had the maple leaf.

    It looks unnatural to see Canadian money without the Queen on it.

    Yes, it does. She's been on the currency since before I was born.

    As for Conservatives and "common sense"...ugh. I'm remembering Mike Harris' "Common Sense Revolution"...when he was only ever revolting against common sense.

    You know, all this talk about the coins made me think, when are we getting a continuation to the vertical banknotes series?
    I still say, Terry Fox needs to be on the $5. Or any of the bills, really.

    so the india govt got all shitty when trudeau quietly raised with modhri (who's party has fascit roots) about govt involvement with the killing of a Sikh activist in BC.

    looks like there's fire to go with the smoke with an indictment being unsealed in the U.S about a plot to assassinate more activists including 3 on Canadian soil tying back to a govt official in india say they would make any charges "go away".

    I'm still on the Stampede email list, and I got a note today about one of the acts performing at next year's event...and it's Motley Crue. :wtf:

    I mean, I loved the Crue back in the day, but at the Stampede? Only way that makes sense is if they recorded a country album, which would crack me the fuck up. :guffaw:

    Why country? I'm not familiar with them, but Stampede entertainment must surely include things not country-themed. Red Deer's Westerner Days included non-Western things some years (ie. the Irish Rovers).
