I also call for the American Bald Eagle to be dumped as a national symbol and replace it with the Turkey.

We could replace the eagle with a dinosaur.

Then our motto would be Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus.

What? Hasn't he heard that two beavers are better than one?

What vagina jokes? Is there some sort of new internet meme comparing vaginas to beavers that I am unaware of?

This idiot should learn some Canadian history!!

Without the beaver, the Canadian population wouldn't be where it is today.

By the way - the beaver is only second to man in its effect on its environment.

Look everybody, a Conservative that doesn't appreciate history and tradition!

So it was bring back the ROYAL navy and air force in the name of tradition, but dump the beaver in the name of modernising?

After having to drive my 4Runner across one on a rather rugged 4x4 trail, I can attest to their construction skills. Felt safer than most of the temporary modular bridges strewn about butt fark nowhere, British Columbia.

I always thought it was because of this (new window) commercial. They look so cute!

The article's comment thread is pretty much done in one:

"Perhaps a more appropriate official national emblem would be the cougar, just like the good senator Nicole Eaton."

How about we replace the unaccountable, unelected Senate with some drunk barflies instead?

Technically, that would be redundant... but I know what you mean.

Oh, you're right. I didn't even bother to look at the name in the article.

Thanks for the correction.

Yep, sounds about right. Foolish senator who does not understand history. The beaver made Canada. The beaver was the whole point of Canada. Perhaps she should finish her junior highschool diploma now that she is in the senate and has nothing else to do.

Ah yes, lets associate ourselves with an animal thats dying off. As somebody has already said Canada wouldn't even exist without the beaver, but I'm not surpirsed a conservative senator knows nothing about history.

Well, I bet a Beaver can produce better legislation than the current politicos.

Everything but Olympic Stadium. You can't blame the beaver for that.

Beavers may be "dentally defective" but this Senator appears to be mentally defective for making an issue of this.

/besides, polar bears will be extinct in 50 years due to global warming.

RexTalionis: I also call for the American Bald Eagle to be dumped as a national symbol and replace it with the Turkey.

Benjamin Franklin proposed just that:

For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral character. He does not get his Living honestly...the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America... He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.

I was waiting for someone to get the Ben Franklin reference. Didn't think it would've taken this long.

Man walks into a bar and slaps a Canadian nickel down on the counter Queen side up and asks...

"How do you make the Queen smile?"

Guy at the bar sez "I dunno... how do you make the queen smile?"

*flips nickel over and rubs it*

"Flip her over and rub her beaver!"

* bows *

Subby doesn't know that polar bears are very aquatic. When they also learn to fly we're pretty much screwed.
