Oh, Canada

Those Canucks are something else. I love those guys. And I apologize for Terrence & Philip.

I've had the pleasure of visiting the Great White North on many an occasion and on both sides - tho not so much in the middle.

My next goal is to visit Medicine Hat.

I first fell in love with Canada when I started watching hockey on TV. Of course, with any new sport, you follow the winners and at that time the Edmonton Oilers were just kicking ass! Wayne Gretzky, Esa Tikkanen, Yari Kuri, Mark Messier, and of course my favorite goalie and golfer, Grant Fuhr(inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 2, 2003). They and the rest of the "Boys on the Bus" taught me the game. At least how to watch it on the couch. Or Chesterfield (It's Canadian - look it up).

Since then I've found many loves and reasons to love Cananadnananda.

The people (all 312 of them) are just lovely, the vistas scenic, and I can almost speak half the languages.

And the most recent reason for the object of my affection is this campaign for James Ready Beer.

This campaign from Leo Burnett Toronto is simply a stellar idea that rocks what I like to call the "Urban Gallery." What a great use of billboards, or as the Canadians say, "Posters," (I'm seriously - look it up). The full story is here and I would get deeper into it, but now I'm Ready to order another beer.

Wish they were all a buck...

Cheers.
