Hey BRI fans in the Lower 48 – if you love the dirt, leaves, air, water, food, beer, animals (people included!), and all the other little things that make up the great nation of Canada – from the “trees on rocks” in Newfoundland to the trees and trees and trees and fog on the British Columbian coast – and everything in between (and up Nunavut, too) – stand up, face yourself North, and proudly proclaim it: “Happy Canada Day, Canada! Here’s to you, dang it!”
P.S. To BRI fans in Alaska, Hawaii, territories and such, and in every other country in the world, please adjust the direction in “face yourself north” as necessary.
And everybody sang…

EXCLUSIVE: Josh Hamilton’s rise from the depths of an addiction to crack to become the American League’s most feared slugger is dramatic enough to have been scripted. Sure enough, Hamilton has entrusted his rights to producer Basil Iwanyk and Thunder Road Pictures to be shopped for a feature that will be written and directed by Casey Affleck. Iwanyk has partnered with Kevin Walsh and The Walsh Company on the film, which he and Affleck will pitch to the town shortly.
