Here are some of my favorites:

The main highlight of the storm this week was the cartoon in the newspaper: Let’s face it, it was a bad storm for Toronto. Maybe they should have called in the Maritimers instead?

Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway. 2. “Vacation” means going to Moncton for the weekend. 3. You measure distance in hours. 4. You know several people who have hit a deer. 5. You often switch from “Heat” to “A/C” in the same day. [...]

However, every now and then I realize just how little I actually know. Take for instance New Brunswick Day. It sounds like a fairly obvious holiday, a day to celebrate living in the best province in Canada – New Brunswick! [...]

I had been seeing some previews and reviews; but, I was never that interested in watching it. So, what better to do on a lazy Sunday then checked it out. I’m glad I did. It was a well done documentary on the American health care system. [...]

Although Sobey’s does not have grocery stores out west, they do manage to run a liquor store with some Maritime beers in it. Needless to say, I was excited at the opportunity to have a great beer [...]

Too early in the morning if you ask me; however, that’s the way it is. Beth and I got up around 4am, got ready then headed to the Saint John airport. Everything went smoothly until it came to leaving. We sat on the airplane for [...]

They were my favorite characters on the show! Finally, thanks to Andrew for sending me the link, I have found out why they are missing and what caused them to leave! Trevor, played by [...]

Oddly enough they were both the third in a series of movies, and they were both hands-down lacking compared to the first two. The first movie I watched was Spiderman 3. I saw this one at the IMAX in Halifax. Before I begin, let [...]

You should also watch some of the episodes (all freely available on their website here). The show is hilarious and it’s also Canadian. It’s really great to see these guys do so well, they [...]
