Sunday Morning Stats update

I checked the stats page for this blog this morning and Germany has taken a nine reader lead over Russia. It still amazes me that people all over the world are reading this. I want to help out a little. Canada, our neighbor to the north still sits in the basement just like the Expos did for do many years in the National League. Maybe if I write about Canada, more searches will bring Canadians to this blog.

From Ottawa we have Dan Aykroyd, From Saturday Night Live and movies like, The Blues Brother's and Ghostbusters. The Pondarossa may have beeen his home on TV for over twenty years but Ottawa is also the birthplace of Lorne Greene. The man of a thousand voices, Rich Little and 1950's teen idol, Paul Anka both hail from Ottawa.

Celine Dion, Glenn Ford and are just three names from Quebec. You have to go to the other side of the country to find Alberta native Michael J. Fox and British Columbia born Ryan Reynolds and Yvonne DeCarlo.

Any list of Canadians from Ontario would be incomplete without, Jeopardy host, Alex Trebek , hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky and actor Alan Thicke.

The television series SCTV in 1977 opened our homes to John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty and Rick Moranis.

Canada is much more than actors and comedians, It's also Molson country, the place for LaBatts Blue and Moosehead beer.

Toronto has two professional sports teams in American sports, the NBA's Raptors and in baseball, AL East, Blue Jays.

So, if you're from Canada, welcome and enjoy the blog. If you aren't from Canada it is a great place to go on Vacation, gocanada.about.com is a great place to start to plan your trip.
