Because they're actually brewed here (same with Stroh's, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and a host of other American brews), so we like to think they're better.

I'll trade you for some Moosehead - Canada's largest and oldest independent brewery, all the way from New Brunswick!

I don't know the answer to that one. I'll just blame NASCAR.

Deal! I'm make sure we cross the border with some Yuengling Lager made by America's oldest brewery.

Well, if you're in the area, why not stop by nearby Burlington (about 45 minutes away) for Canada's Largest Ribfest - http://www.canadaslargestribfest.com. And if you go on Monday, from 3:30 to 5:00, you can mingle with other parrotheads and see Northern Harbour, Canada's best Buffett tribute act!

Thanks! LOL

If your gonna be in Toronto tomorrow, a great band is playing at Beachfest for Free. They are called Bedouin Soundclash and play a "canadian" style of reggae and ska.

Where is the cottage Barb?

(Don't give too many specifics as some of us may drop by for breakfast in the morning)

thanks everyone, the problem is that I have two guys that quit last week AND if I had scheduled the time off like I wanted (Nicole didn't at first) I could stay. Now I'd have to take time off at the last minute which might make the boss mad. The Monday thing sounds great though.

Snowparrot · Post by **Snowparrot** » September 1, 2007 11:20 am

Come on, Rick... does the boss really need you the week after Labo(u)r Day?

Caly... cottage is north of Kingston, west of Perth. I don't think you're near enough to come for breakfast. But if anyone IS in the neighbourhood, pheel phree

to phlock in... PM first, though!
