The Secret Canadian
When filmmaker Kevin Smith is not in Canada for a speaking tour or filming cameos at Degrassi, the man in black is obsessing over hockey and Walter Gretzky.
Many have thought of Smith as a Canuck wannabe, but two consecutive Tweet posts have confirmed it:
- Watched TRUDEAU with Colm Feore on flight home. Great PM, no doubt; but Homie had a handful with that wife of his, huh? Holy shit.
- On her deathbed, I fully expect my Mother to reveal huge family secret: "We... we're not from Jersey... We're really from... Ca...Canada..."

Minnesota bans BPA
As stated on Consumerist.com, Minnesota has become the first state in the US to ban bisphenol-A from baby drinking bottles and cups.
Bisphenol-A is a toxic chemical found in many of the products we use, including canned and bottled food. Its use has been questioned since the 1930s and it has only been in the last few years that governments have begun to take action against it.
The government of Canada already banned the import of baby bottles containing bisphenol-A in 2008. Unfortunately, most other products containing the chemical continue to get the green light.
