Anyone? Anyone?

Huh. Guess even the crickets are offline today.

For the voiceless and the un-Canadian, we nonetheless present our daily link roundup, just in case you furriners don’t celebrate Canada Day, eschewing our glorious traditions of poutine carving, bison racing, Red River Cart origami, and consuming ubiquitous and excellent craft beer which is 9% alcohol, legally, before we’re even out of our teens.
