Don't believe me? Read it on the Internet! When is Congress going to investigate what really happened in 1969?

There's a brewery in Saskatoon known as "Great Western." Personally, I think it sucks.

That's a Ukrainian thing. I grew up in Saskatchewan and have never heard about it until I had Christmas with my wife's family where its a tradition.
