Only in Canada - I

Let me start this post by saying outright that I am a proud Canadian and I love this country.

Now that I've said that, there are events and things reported in the news that could only possibly come from the Great White North.  This is a country with major newspapers that often devote more space to hockey than world events.  I'm not complaining or saying that's a problem, but it's a fact.

I've labelled this post with a roman numeral because I'm quite sure there will be a large quantity of items filed under "Only in Canada"...

Anyway, on to the irrelevant news.
A herd of bison escaped from their pen near Camrose on Aug 24.  Not a huge deal right?
As you can see here, here, here, and here, this has been fairly major/headline/front page news in Edmonton for two full days.  I expect it to last at least another three.  Now, I do admit that a herd of fairly large, wild, and potentially dangerous animals roaming around places like local golf courses is definitely something to let the public know about.

Still, I can't help but muse that Only in Canada would this still be the top story on the news after 3 days...
