Canadian Beer

My cousin Terry in Idaho sent me the following clip which reminded of a great Canadian canoeing adventure my brother and I had taken many years ago. Two weeks into the wilderness north of Lake Superior was the plan.  We were camped east of Thunder Bay, Manitoba on Santoy Lake ready to launch the next morning.  It was our intention to turn in early as it had already been a long day and drive from the Twin Cities.  As dusk settled around us, a number of pickup trucks began to arrive down by the lake. Soon a bonfire appeared and much laughter and shouting ensued. Of course, we had to investigate. It was the Friday night gathering of local pulp mill workers. Discovering that we were Americans, they felt it incumbent upon themselves that they should offer us several choices of beer. It was Molson or Lablatts.

As the evening progressed it became apparent to us that one of the most vital controversies facing the Canadian nation, at that time, was the relative merits of each of these fine brands. As the discussion on this sudsy issue became more heated it occurred to me that, at some point, we (the neutral Americans) might be drawn in to "settle" the argument." "Not a good idea," I thought. And yes that's exactly what happened  . We did manage to avoid more entanglement by splitting our vote between the contending brands. Oh and by the way Canadian beer is a bit stronger than the American types..... Take a look by clicking on the following link
