It's an exciting time to be alive and I'm not referring to the jetpacks, hovercrafts, teleporters and such. No, it's bacon. Canadian bacon. It's not really Canadian Canadian bacon (which is, actually, back bacon) but American Canadian bacon (which was invented by McDonald's).

"That's not bacon," he sighed. I'd seldom seen him so peeved as [...]
Getty Images Canada rocks - from its landscape to its multiculturalism to its beer and music.

I meant to put this post together after Arcade Fire pulled off their Grammy victory for [...]
