Happy New Month!!

(For those of you out there that celebrate that sort of thing – PS - make sure your tin foil hat doesn’t have any new holes in it!! Mars broadcasts new programs every 1st of the month.)

Super bowl today! For those of us here in Canada, it will be yet another year of missing out on all the great U.S. commercials that advertisers have spent so much money to run during the broadcast. That’s right, due to "Canadian Content" laws, our networks insert Canadian ads over the American ones. Instead of hilarious beer commercials, we get spokespeople dressed up as beavers, reminding us to make our annual dentist appointments. It is truly sad.

Oh well, at least we’ll still get to see Springsteen during the half-time show. At least they don’t black that out (yet), and force us to watch Anne Murray, Shania Twain, or Celine Dion. Even though that wouldn’t be so bad, not that I’ve written it out like that.

So, think of us here in Canada as you hoist your fine American beers, chew on your fine American pretzels, and are allowed by a benevolent government to watch insanely expensive advertisements. We’ll have our local beaver person, and have to be thankful that the Canadian government cares about our dental hygiene…

Chow for now!!
