National landmark? So now we have to preserve it. There must be some national funding for helping to preserve a national landmark and give it a nicer setting in a $8.5 million vistor park development at the intresection of the two highways.

This will create a demand for many more people to stop here by all those who want to visit all those national landmarks.

And right next to the casino too. What luck.

Methinks this is pretty cool regardless of all the controversy about him. Kudos!

Think about how cool it is to have a signpost forest containing 99 percent of the signs stolen.

Wow, and I use to look forward to the new Canada Post stamps. Sorry, I have never been fond of Mr. P.G.
How embarrassing!

I have been waiting for the day that David Letterman accepts a Top 10 list on reasons to get rid of the old septic tank.
