Some things I learned on my recent trip to Canada
- Porter airlines: the only way to fly.
- A song about the Spadina bus
- As I suspected, Toronto isn’t even cold in the wintertime. Barely dipped below zero, the entire time I was there.
- Apricot Weißbier, nicer than it ought to be.
- Prevailing man-hipster fashion trend: Button cardigan, bushy beard, and oversized pseudo-religious pendantry
- Guitar hero is more fun than I’d have thought.
- The prehistoric Trypilian culture from the Ukraine, was one of the earliest neolithic civilizations
- If you own a Birks watch, as I do, you can get it serviced and the battery changed for free at any Birks branch.
- Do not place your nose into any unusual looking fixtures attached to bathroom walls.
- Iroquois false face societies, and why you cannot see their masks in museums.
- My karaoke version of ‘In The Air Tonight‘ was a surprise success, but perhaps even more suprisingly, my version of ‘My Heart Will Go On‘, placed me in the final three.

Great links – I especially like the false face one —- I want to make my own ‘Old Broken Nose’ mask now!
