As expected, Facebook announced a number of privacy changes this morning to comply with Canadian privacy laws.
Have you seen this little dickhead around Toronto (or, at the very least, his minuscule wiener)?
Are Mohd Abdullah's shorts too short? Members at the Tournament Capital Centre in Canada seem to think so, and have lodged complaints against the pilates and yoga instructor who claims he'd rather close out his membership than discard the “six to eight pairs of short shorts” he owns. Not for nothing, but is this guy not just begging to be the next poster boy for American Apparel?

Why is life expectancy higher in Canada? Simple, the US has 10 times as many people. Right?
TV Home Shopping has come a long way since hosts sold can openers on a radio station in Florida. Shop TV in Canada had a segment on pleasure toys, and its hilarious!
You don't need to be a hockey fan to appreciate this amazing goal by John Tavares, which took place during Canada's exhibition game against Slovakia in the World Juniors this week.

Happy Boxing Day! The holiday celebrated by countries in the 'Commonwealth of Nations' — which includes our neighbors to the north — is today. And no, its purpose is not to get rid of the boxes from Christmas gifts.

Canada has declared Santa Claus an official citizen with fully authorized re-entry rights. Also, Canada has had an HD Yule Log on TV for about a month now. Maybe Bill O'Reilly could just move to Canada; then we could be done with both him and the War on Christmas.

A primer on the Canadian political system for those South of the Border. I also find the site below particularly useful.
Cool meteor footage taken from a police scanner. The crash took place in Edmonton.
Check out this video of a meteor hitting Canada like a flaming fireball of DOOM. We're pretty sure some kind of horrible alien slime monster crawled out of this thing and started eating the innocent residents of Saskatchewan.
Politics Buzz Canada held its own federal elections today and managed to re-elect Stephen Harper (arguably the Canadian George Bush) and his conservative party. It seems this was somewhat expected and that the best the non-conservatives were hoping for was to deny him a majority government. Here’s to winning by lowering your standards!

Canadian banks are the soundest in the world. To everyone who didn’t follow through on their threat in 2004 to move north if Bush were re-elected: sorry, you really missed the boat on this one.
Canada is the United States’ #1 source of foreign oil. Does this mean we can finally send troops across the Canadian border? A few Mounties are the only thing preventing America’s energy independence.
Food Buzz A bar in Canada serves up a sourtoe cocktail using a real, preserved human toe. The Sourtoe Cocktail Club started in 1973, you can add the pickled toe to the drink of your choice but the rules stipulate that the drinker’s lips must touch the toe. I thought it was bad enough that I end up putting my own foot in my mouth after a few cocktails.
Politics Buzz Canadian women have come up with a campaign to exploit the Myanmar junta’s superstitious belief that coming into contact with women’s underwear will rob them of their strength. It sounds silly, but any little bit could help the horribly violent situation in Burma. Finally, an underwear trend that I don’t feel guilty or dirty about posting!
