Food For Thought - Installment II: Does Cheese Have it in For Canada?

So the other day I wrote a list of cheeses I needed for a party I was having and I thought I saw something stick out at me from the list.

Brie
Light Cheeze Whiz
Havarti
Medium Cheddar

You may not see it so I will bold the letters that stuck out at me from my cheese list.

Brie
Light Cheeze Whiz
Havarti
Medium Cheddar

Of course you could spell the word from those letters but it struck me as odd, is there some kind of cheesy conspiracy to cause our weather to be bad, so bad we may call it a 'Blizzard'?

So I did some investigation into cheese, and of course as I suspected cheese was popularized in Europe and many gourmet cheeses are still produced in France and Italy.

Then I checked who would gain if Edmonton would fall into blizzard like conditions. It is clearly the European Union who would achieve two goals. Temporarily shutting down the Albertan Oilsands as well as using the blizzard as further evidence of global climate change. quadriplegic

So while I don't know the how, I am sure that the EU is using cheese in a plot to take down Alberta.

Food for thought.

Rocky the rock.

So the other day at work we found a rock laying behind the till at the parking lot exit.

So this is the rock here. We thought at first that it was just a rock from the construction site at the mall. But after a bit of digging we discovered an illustrious past.

It's original owner was John A. MacDonald who believed it to be a lucky stone of the same material as the stone of destiny in Scottish lore. After his first election loss after the CPR scandal the rock disappeared into obscurity. The next we found written about it was in the memoir's of Robert Borden who claims to have inherited the rock by finding it underneath a floorboard in 24 Sussex drive. Borden mention's the stone a few times in his memoirs but it again disappears from all records until it surfaced again in a story told by William Lyon Mackenzie King, where he described an act of vandalism against his office, the rock being the primary culprit. William Lyon Mackenzie King then trusted the rock to the care of Liberal Party officials where it stayed until the election of Pierre Elliot Trudeau, where it was not only photographed but described by western premiers as he used the rock to try to intimidate the provinces into accepting greater federal powers.
It seems the last written report was in a single account by an RCMP officer at the APEC summit which Jean Chretien choked a protester. The account read that Jean Chretien also threw the rock at one of the protesters but missed.

It appears as though the rock then made it's way to Edmonton through the RCMP officer who was later transferred but it still remains a mystery how it arrived at the front of our store.
