The military parade already started. This year, special tribute to the ANZAC troops who participated in the Somme Battle.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Do you ever feel like Quebec missed out by being separated from France right before France became cool? Well I guess it was almost 30 years before but still.

Quebec is Hipster Canada; was France before France was cool.   :cool: :Canuck:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
