ReplyDelete21. Canada is so boring and pointless that your "first in a series of posts related to Canada" died after the first entry. Almost two years ago. Good job!

DeleteI don't edit this blog anymore, it was an old dream of mine but has died through the years, if you're actually curious why this series ended.
