He undertook a sprawling farewell tour across Canada in the summer of 2016 that will be remembered as among the most important to grace the nation — an extraordinary gift bequeathed by a dying man to those who adored him.

Al, are you one of those damned Icebacks impersonating a Californicator? When President Trump builds the Great Wall of Canada, they'll be sent back across the border with that darned poutine they plaster their hovels with in the plethora of illegal "Little Canada's" that pollute our great nation.

Sorry to hear about Ranger Gord, his animated films were one of the weekly highlights of "The Red Green Show".

Tom Green? That scrawny, one-testicled, pencil necked geek wouldn't stand a chance against a bonifide red-blooded American He-Man like me.
