this could have been the perfect opportunity to reboot Mr. PG, bus alas, it will be a moose I’m sure. I like moose, don’t get me wrong, but we could have made Mr. PG cool again. it’s amazing how popular and well-known he was in the 1950s and 60s, all over BC and even other parts of Canada. no longer….sniff…

Mr. PG is an embarassment. Please let him die a quick and painful death.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

we could put him on the world’s largest tree crusher from Mackenzie and make a statement.

A fish farmed salmon. With a good lookin’ healthy farmed salmon riding a tractor. Get it? Farmed? Tractor?
