Canada in Pictures

These are some pictures that I have had for a while that either depict strange and weird things about Canada - or defining moments of our history. They really aren't in any order - and more for enjoyment than anything else. Have fun!  Psst! A lot have come from globeandmail.com - but please don't tell them, eh?
