Okay now, everyone sing the Ontarian anthem! _A place to stand/ And a place to grow/ We call this land/ Ontario
_ To anyone who grew up with it when they were a kid, that song and its Disneyesque _Small Small World_-like tune will now be stuck in their heads foir the next thirty-six hours. [sub]I’m evil. Yes, I know it.[/sub] ---

They actually brought the Quebec flag, not Ontario. A victory of sorts for our Quebec Dopers. Either way, I’m happy with a provincial flag of any kind. And also, what’s a 222? ---

A 222 is a popular strength of Tylenol w/ codeine. You can get them outta gumball machines up here. 
and the Québec flag is cooler. ---

I just hung up the flags. It’s kind of weird, a Quebec flag and a Canadian flag right next to each other. ---
