The Vancouver Parks Board has a comical mystery on its hands after the clandestine renaming of a park in the city’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.

Guelph Park, located in the 2300 block of Brunswick Street, has held its name for 40 years. Not anymore. According to a new sign, spotted Thursday, the leafy bit of green space is now Dude Chilling Park, a place where dudes and dudettes can presumably go to, you know, just chill — like the relaxed figure depicted in a sculpture on the park’s grass.

HAPPY CANADA DAY to all my Canadian friends and acquaintances!

This infographic was made by Ms. Kirstin Hallett, who very kindly sent me a version with her copyright information, and gave me permission to blog it.

(Note: Tumblr had problems uploading the image, so I had to put it on Photobucket and link to it. Meh.)

Marketing Campaign of the Day: Budweiser Canada surprises two recreational league hockey teams from Port Credit, Ontario, with professional-league-grade theatrics, including a flock of fans, play-by-play commentary, and other accouterments of a professional game.

Sure, it’s (still) nothing new — but it’ll warm your cold, cold heart just the same.

Oh look, a bear was arrested outside my office today.  The best part?  The tiny dog inside the truck.

Awesome!

Reblogging for dog.

It was only a baby bear, I’d be more worried about whether the mom is around…

Rest in peace

From his last letter to Canadians:

And finally, to all Canadians: Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

All my very best,

Jack Layton

Canada has lost a great man. Whatever way you vote, he was devoted our country.
