Vote Canning, Nova Scotia in the Kraft Celebration Tour

Canning is a small town in Nova Scotia, really (REALLY) close to here I live. They are also one of 20 finalists for the Kraft Celebration Tour!

We've had some good news here in the Valley recently, and it would be awesome if we could add some more. Today at noon ET until July 11 11:59 a.m. ET, voting is open to get them one step closer to $25000 and a live broadcast of TSN SportsCentre in their town.

Wont you help them out?

Vote Bay of Fundy for the New 7 Wonders of Nature

This Friday, 11.11.11, voting closes for the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Have you voted? There are some pretty incredible choices. You're allowed to pick seven, and I hope you'll consider the one that is in my neck of the woods: The Bay of Fundy.

The bay of Fundy has the highest tides anywhere in the world - 16.2 metres or 53 feet. That means that, twice every day, one hundred billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the bay that runs between New Brunswick and my home province of Nova Scotia.

Take a look at these videos, if you still need convincing. Or just like watching videos.









Plus, it gives us some awesome mud to play in:






Alright, that's all I've got. If you haven't yet, go vote. I hope you'll seriously think of voting Fundy. And, hey, why not visit us sometime? See the magic for yourself.

ps: If you don't want to word for it, how about some Canadian Celebrities?

Happy Election Day, Canada!

It's election day (again) in Canada! I've been out and voted. Have you? What are you waiting for?

Also, check out Apathy is Boring for lots of great info about voting, the parties and their platforms. I found it really helpful, and I'm not even in the 18-24 demographic they're targeting.
