Canadian Thanksgiving is still a far less half-assed holiday than Columbus Day.
Halloween, a far superior holiday compared to both of these, is just three weeks away! Woohoo! Actual holidays!
Pumpkins. Fucking pumpkins everywhere.
Between Bieber and Gaga’s on-stage vomiting, all pop stars will likely be wiped out Contagion-style by the end of the year.
Avril Lavigne’s wedding to Chad Kroeger ensures that the worst of Canadian music remains self-contained.
Kate McKinnon, who is quickly becoming the best part of Saturday Night Live.

The bike lanes on Jarvis Street! Oh, wait . . .
That one guy at Dundas Square who just shouts “BELIEVE!” at tourists.
Cold weather means no more patio season. Yay for eating indoors like a normal, civilized person!
Filler, for when you want a nice round 10-point list, but can’t think of anything else to be thankful for.
