Part I.
In recognition of his biological expertise join us in exploring Justin Trudeau’s Canada: a deep dive into the glacial lakes of Ontario, a serene walk on the stony beaches of the prairie coast, we’ll enjoy a loaf from the bread-basket of the Yukon.
To begin our series, it is almost imperative that we recognize the most Canadian of reptiles.
The Beaver
Typically inhabiting coffee shops these tundra dwelling animals were nearly wiped out when Robin’s Donuts went down hill. Fortunately Ducks Unlimited created Tim Horton’s and now these notorious jay-walkers have made a come back.
Sounds like free enterprise created a monster.
Sadly, Albertan children will see that picture and ask, “daddy, is that a steer?”
Newfies call that “an overpass”, because they keep trying to drive under them. Ontarioans line up to buy postcards of them along Hwy 60, Quebecers dry their dung out for fires, and BCers have not yet found a Sechuan recipe for them.

That’s pretty good, Skip, but just a little bit wrong. We know our stuff out here in New China and we are never wrong. For many years we have had excellent recipes for Elk like the one pictured above.

The Honey Badger is also priceless…Nice to see that humor is not rioting.
Elk???? You stupid or just dumb? Or can’t recognize a photo shopped pic? Man.The stupid out of BC burns.
I’ve heard they set traps for them with fish behind dumpsters in chinatown, is that right?
That’s a good post. Lucky I wasn’t drinking coffee!
“To begin our series, it is almost imperative that we recognize the most Canadian of reptiles.”
Opppssss. My bad. Didn’t realize Lance was into bad humour. Or a result of our edumacation system. Reptile??? Really????
Hey isn’t that a Bull Winkle?
No way, that is a flying squirrel associate in Just-In’s world.
Is “beaver” in Swedish “møøse”?

“Notorious Jay-walkers”!!
Brilliant!
You have a gift…..
I believe Lil’ Potato pronounces it “Mooth”… if he see’s more than one then its pronounced Meeth… everyone knows its a picture of a horse with a hat, or as Potato would say, a “Horth”.
Knew someone studying vet medicine in eastern Europe. They had something they called the “elk moose”. Had to be persuaded were two different species in Canada. But then, when offered a pumpkin pie to go with wine at the final exam (wine a tradition, apparently, to recognize the successful student is now a vet and an equal), the profs had to find someone who had lived in North America to reassure them the pie was edible.
should have given them baby diapers for napkins, that should have done the trick
Beautiful plumage!
That’s not a beaver. It’s a loon.
As a trapper, I know what beaver looks like.
Your right that is not beaver.
Might be loon but I might have to have a look from another angle.
Too funny..all of it. Thanks.
Juthtin the Thpud probably thinks they’re manufactured in–wait for it–Moose Factory, Ontario.
Your a moron BCer,
This is what an elk looks like:

To be fair, the profs were open to the suggestion that there was not an “elk moose” in Canada. Apparently there are some issues with nomenclature of various species in Europe. And, once advised pumpkin pie was really good, they all partook and really enjoyed i, with complements to the student who had produced same. Said student will, to this day, say had a really good training at that uni and is proud to be graduate of same.
