Lost and Found!
After a busy working lunch with the office staff at Bistro 17 preparing for a big meeting with the client, Monz' client doesn't show up! Oh well, at least the portabello sandwich was good. But since Monz' client got lost, we'll get found...with Canada Mondays!
We love the Candian flag because 1) it represents Canada and 2) it represents spite! In 1964 then Prime Minsister Lester Pearson wanted a flag that reflected the nation's indepndence -- no fleur-de-lis or Union Jacks. However, his proposed design -- three red maple leaves with a blue bar at each end -- was largely jeered by the Conservative Party opposition, who dubbed it "Pearson's Pennant." Though the Conservatives wanted to keep the old flag, they counter-proposed something they thought was too silly to pass. The bluff didn't work: the Liberals loved it! The Conservatives tried to reverse paths, but it was too late to stop the leaf!
