A beer truck crashed, spilling 2,000 cases. 
When I first read that last sentacne, I thought it said returned for distribution, and I thought to myself,
“Damn, those Canuks really love their beer!”
Flags are expected to be flown at half mast today. 
It’s like 48,000 voices cried out all at once in pain and terror and then were silenced.
<hangs head in memory>
…actually, I’d only really care if it was Sam Adams… which it wasn’t… small blessings…
As this photo from today’s Globe & Mail illustrates, the “beer” in question was, in fact, Molson Canadian.
So no tragedy there. It would have been more heart-breaking if some poor fools drank it.
Blech.

Well played, young lady. Well played.
The OPP officer contemplating the mess in that picture has a certain comic aura about him that doesn’t really come through in the reduced version, so I felt moved to include a detail of the photo. I don’t know, it makes me giggle.
While I was doing that, though, I noticed that the spillage also includes Molson Kick, Carling, and Coors Light.
Still no actual beer in evidence, so it’s all good.
Hey! Any beer spilled is a cause for mourning. Let’s show some respect here people! Geez!
The beer-soaked sand should be sent to a glassmaker. To be made into beer goggles.
Oh, honey. No. Not Molson Canadian.
Bravo, sir.
The guy looks like John Candy.
2000 cases of pisswater spilled. Sounds to me like that’s the best thing that could possibly have happened to it! Maybe the patrons of the bars it was destined to will pick a real beer when their beer doesn’t show up.
Oh…and Otto…
Bravo!
** bouv** --don’t do this.
When I hear about national tragedies, I cringe.
:smack:
How right.the only good thing that can be associated with Molson Canadian is the rant
Molson Canadian. As Canadian beers go, it’s just okay. Beats the hell out of swill like Budweiser and Coors Lite, though. But still, it is of a lesser grain.
Now, if the truck had been carrying Big Rock Traditional Ale or Rickard’s Red, there would have been much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Stone residence.
Note to self: when in Edmonton, loot Sam’s beer.
Heh. Second time in just over a month. Last time, it was (almost) 2,000 cases of Keith’s in Halifax. The Halifax cops are more quotable, though:
As an added news item , second truck overturned on the highway , spilling an undisclosed amount of empty vodka bottles.
Terrorism is thought to be a motive , the mounties are looking into the two incidents to see if a pattern can be diserned and if Mothers Against Drunk Driving are taking a more pro-active role in the fight against drinking and driving.
As the Two-Four weekend is fast approaching , Ontario residents are being caution to expect a color coded terror alert regarding future possible attacks. Premier Dalton McGuinty released a statement today , extolling Ontario residents to stand firm in the face of terrorism ,as our heritage is under attack and Ontrario expects all.

Of course, since Molson merged with Coors, they Are No Longer Canadian. It is good that some brave Canadian maintains our heritage.
Hey, you take the legacy you can get.
Y’all stop ragging on our beer, you hear? 
The best beer ever.
