Thanks to Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara’s years of playing unwitting, over-the-top eccentrics in Christopher Guest movies, Schitt’s Creek had a similarly left-of-center vibe.

My name is Craig Baird.
I was born in Calgary, and raised on a rural Alberta acreage surrounded by farms.
I have lived most of my life in Alberta, and I still live in the province.
But I am Canadian first and Albertan second.
I will never support Alberta separation.

For non-German speakers:
“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

The provinces and territories of Canada have some truly beautiful flags, which honour their history, landscapes and cultures.
They also have some great history too!
This is the history (not the symbolism) of each provincial and territorial flag!

The stars of the video are Andean bears Coya, a two-year-old female, and Ransisku, a three-year-old male, both resident at Queens Zoo, New York. They were filmed by visitor Ursula McDermott, who spotted them playing with a branch balanced in the gap of a tree, moving it up and down like a seesaw!
