!! OMG, we aren't always nice: Canadians !!
Some nasty folks in the Canadian town of Caledon want their neighbour's miniature pony evicted because they don't like the smell. But that's not the bad part - the pony belongs to a little boy with cerebral palsy.

!! OMG, some privacy please: Canadian 'do not call' list !!
Finally Canada has followed in the footsteps of the USA and set up a National "Do Not Call" List that you can sign up for on the Internet. After enrolling, you remain on the list for three years and may still receive calls from charities, newspapers, and other businesses with whom you have previous relationships, but theoretically the "OMG you won a not-free vacation!!" phone calls should end.
So Canadians, go sign up your cell phone and your landline here!

!! OMG, it's back: Vazoween !!
If you're in Toronto for Halloween, make sure you come to VAZOWEEN at Lee's Palace. NO BRA will be performing and the usual suspects will be there - just like the good old days...except everyone's...well, older.

!! OMG, go see them in New York: Fritz Helder and the Phantoms !!
Hot underground electro act Fritz Helder and the Phantoms will be playing a sold-out show at the Highline Ballroom in New York tomorrow night (Oct. 28) along with Lady Gaga, Semi Precious Weapons, and Cazwell. Try to get in if you can, you won't want to miss their New York debut. To twist Lady Gaga's famous words just a bit, "Fritz Helder and the Phantoms are the New York pop underground."
Speaking of Gags, she has a new video out for her song "Poker Face," which features some beautiful Great Danes, shirtless man candy, and of course pelvic thrusts. You can watch it after the jump.

!! OMG, there's an election here, too: Canada !!
I got so caught up in all the American drama that I almost forgot that next week we vote in our own national election. The above clip from the Rick Mercer Report pretty much sums it up, though. Except the Harper kid is nowhere near as creepy as the real thing.

!! OMG, how Canadian: The Apology Act !!
It used to be that, in Ontario, if you apologized to someone after an accident or some sort of wrongdoing (corporate or personal) that it was an admission of guilt and it could be used against you in court. The Apology Act, which was brought forth for consideration on Tuesday, would protect those who said they were sorry to someone who had been wronged. Damn I'm so bored of this country.

!! OMG, he cares about Canadians: Obama !!
Dub poet Lillian Allen (pictured above) is just one of many Canadians who will be campaigning for Barack Obama and registering ex-pat American voters at Caribana in Toronto this weekend. Too bad Obama himself won't be appearing in the parade. (Thanks to Erin L. for the tip!)

!! OMG, he hates Toronto: Rufus Wainwright !!
From the Guardian:
I'll never go back to Toronto. I can't stand it - the place drives me mad. I'm allowed to say this because I'm Canadian. I have friends there, I work there, but I find it really hard to like. I will have to go back there, but I wish I didn't have to. It's trying to be the New York of the Midwest. I much prefer Montreal.

!! Happy Victoria Day 2008! !!
(Painting by Banksy)
I had some stuff to post today, but then I remembered it is a holiday in my adopted country of Canada and I would rather play video games. I love that I get the day off from work to celebrate a dead lady who used to rule another country. God bless her!

!! OMG, she's touring: No Bra !!
London-based musician/performance artist No Bra is coming to Toronto on May 29. She makes danceable, funny tracks you can listen to on her MySpace, and from what I can tell from her YouTube videos, her shows have a dirty cabaret one-woman-show kind of feel. Should be fun.
She's playing The Cock in New York City the night before (May 28). Check her MySpace page for full tour date listing.
After the jump, make sure you watch the NSFW video of No Bra performing "Munchausen," her hilarious send-up of queer hipster pathological lying. She is the new Penelope!
