Ten things to be thankful for

  1. Canadian Thanksgiving is still a far less half-assed holiday than Columbus Day.
  2. Halloween, a far superior holiday compared to both of these, is just three weeks away! Woohoo! Actual holidays!
  3. Pumpkins. Fucking pumpkins everywhere.
  4. Between Bieber and Gaga’s on-stage vomiting, all pop stars will likely be wiped out Contagion-style by the end of the year.
  5. Avril Lavigne’s wedding to Chad Kroeger ensures that the worst of Canadian music remains self-contained.
  6. Kate McKinnon, who is quickly becoming the best part of Saturday Night Live.
  7. The bike lanes on Jarvis Street! Oh, wait . . .
  8. That one guy at Dundas Square who just shouts “BELIEVE!” at tourists.
  9. Cold weather means no more patio season. Yay for eating indoors like a normal, civilized person!
  10. Filler, for when you want a nice round 10-point list, but can’t think of anything else to be thankful for.
