tvordljAs i left the building yesterday, i saw an odd sight and naturally i didn't have my phone with me so no photo. A woman was crossing the street. On a unicycle. Turns out she is part of a unicycle team that will be participating in a race later in June so she must have been out training or else on her way to participate in the interview for this story that's in today's paper.
This is probably only going to make the Canadians chuckle. In that cartoon, "Dalton" is the premier of Ontario, traditionally a rich province. Toronto is the financial capital of Canada and Ontario has always had the money and the power. Now their economy is suffering a bit. The other guy in the cartoon is Danny Williams, premier of Newfoundland, traditionally a very poor province which now has a booming economy thanks to the offshore oil and natural gas flowing in. Newfoundlanders have long been the butt of jokes too, i.e. Newfie jokes. The Ontario government has been moaning lately about their lot in life.
