a lonely tear and the dull ache of exclusion. here we are, a long-standing trading partner, military ally through several international conflicts, cultural symbiont, your kindly, inoffensive, and - yes, i'll say it - nice neighbour to the north, and we've been excluded (utterly! not a single pin!) from the contest.

the galapagos islands got a pin! zambia got a pin! norway got a pin - and nobody likes norwegians! the mexicans got 2 pins for pete's sake! mexicans! pins! 2! contest! rhubarb!

this aggression will not stand, man. we want in. if it's about having internationally recognizable monuments vegreville has the world's largest easter egg. as if you didn't already know.
