North Bay road open after swimming moose prompted closure
"No update has been given on the status of the moose."
RE: Oddities spotted in the news - Bob Schroeck - 11-17-2017
Well, obviously no moose is good moose.

Delayed flight turns into Newfoundland kitchen party at Pearson International Airport
Imagine what would have happened if the delay was longer than 30 minutes...
(This, BTW, is why I like Newfoundlanders so much.)

Part of a column in today's Washington Post:
Quote:A medic who was born in the back of an ambulance delivered a baby in the back of his own ambulance on his birthday. Daniel Helsel assisted the pregnant woman exactly 42 years after his mother gave birth on the side of the Beltway.(reported by Lynh Bui)
Traditionnnnn!

New Brunswick now has highway offramp signs directing people to microbreweries.
Remember, don't drink and drive...

... y'know, we gotta do something about the confusion between that part of Canada and the city down the street from me.

While you're renaming parts of the USA, please do something about Ontario County, California sharing a postal abbreviation with Ontario (ON, CA).

Yeah, I've already added it as an example to the All The Tropes page "Do Not Do This Cool Thing". Mind you, Ontario has had offramp signs for wineries for years, and they don't seem to have affected the drunk-driving statistics. (Of course, wine isn't consumed the same way that beer is.)
Riding the coattails of the teenaged idiots eating Tide PODs ("Actual Tide laundry detergent pods are poisonous and should not be consumed"), a Brooklyn pizzeria comes up with PIEd Pods - colorful pepperoni calzone.

What does a snow plow have to do with gender equality?
Apparently, the same as what a snow plow has to do with reducing a city's carbon footprint.

Anybody here own shares in Shopify? They got the contract to sell marijuana online in Ontario when that becomes legal later this year.

Apparently, nobody.
