Random Canadian stuff/people I miss

Daylight Saving Time

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Ben Mulroney (I know! I can't believe it either. And not a pang for Justin Trudeau)

Steam Whistle beer

As It Happens

rampant sarcasm

Clamato juice (and ice and celery salt and tabasco and... you can see where I am going with this)

Rick Mercer

talk radio

Ottawa Senators' games at Scotiabank Place (but not the traffic or parking)

The fully-functioning system of street addressing I rarely thought about

Hot chocolate on Sunday afternoons

Lloyd Robertson, and his almost-pink hair, saying "And that's the kind of day it's been..."

The original Designer Guys

Lululemon

Stuart Maclean

the Saturday Globe and Mail

pumpkins

The Big Apple on the 401
