If the feet have just fallen off ,they should look for people hopping around. I suppose most people would miss a foot but apparently Canadians get along fine with one. Check shoe stores for customers that bought only one shoe or sock. This can be easily solved.

gonzo, this was so funny it brought tears to my eyes.
Who’d have thought Canadians would be the first to figure out bare foot surfing?
I cannot sleep
for all I hear
is the pitter patter
of little feet
Sixth foot found.

From one of the articles: At first, the talk about it was really humorous. But as more feet turned up, the talk became sinister," she said. “These are pristine islands, not the place where you would expect to find a bunch of severed feet.”
Where are those islands where you would *expect * to find a bunch of severed feet again? Remind me not to go there.

Even though the bodies are likely in the ocean, you could still say those people are six feet under.
ETA: tesseract, not an island, but here’s a place in Canada that’s a good place to start.
hmm six feet, just about two metres… I wonder if we can expect them to go the whole nine yards?

Yeah, because finding just a few severed feet on the beach is always just funny.
Mental note to self: if you’re ever in a situation where you make a gruesome discovery and the press want a comment, keep your mouth shut - evidently, there’s nothing you can say on the subject that won’t make you look like a blithering twat.

They should be easy to find - the people who have lost the left foot should hop in gentle arcs that ultimately gather them all together in Saskatoon, whereas those who have lost the right foot will gravitate towards Vancouver.
If they get enough I hope they will string up lights, unroll the crepe paper, and decorate the feet with fancy ribbons.
A football.
No puns in my post. Five spare feet? It’s now six.
This is very, very strange.
And, as has been posted, the discovery of the sixth foot has been already noted by previous posters. Didn’t scroll up far enough.
This really is intriguing. And although not funny, this thread has me laughing like Alastair Sim on Christmas morning.
Six feet found?
And the RCMP cannot fathom where they came from?
I must say that the CBC has really been stepping up its game in reporting this story. I was driving to work and one reporter referred to the news story by introducing it as “The Riddle of the Missing Feet”. I immediately thought someone must write a mystery novel with that title. It’s perfect.

Now that’s clever!
Just watching the morning TV news here, and it was reported that the investigation into the feet continues to inch along.

Were they all left feet. If they make a movie about this, will it star Daniel Day-Lewis?

Not to mention the poster’s location. FloatyGimpy from Vancouver Island? Sounds suspicious.
I raccons ate 'em I betcha they’d make good foot stools.
