I've heard it a few times. It's a play on Denver being called "The mile high city".

Lack of oxygen? (They do call Calgary "The kilometer high city" ...).

Is the leaf blower used to blow leaves, or is it a source of propulsion?

Yeah, I'm in some west-central Facebook groups -- it was clear many hated Knack before this (people in the rich neighborhoods that hate infill mostly), and this definitely adds fuel to the fire.

It was a really "neat" clue. :)

Lucky, we got a lot of Carpenters, John Denver, and Roger Whittaker (plus Dad's Bronco was a hot box of tobacco smoke from a pipe).

Such a great band. The song I keep reaching for is "Overkill". (Saw an acoustic version live at the Edmonton Folk Fest when Colin Hay was here.)

Can Canada request that the US send us a new ambassador who isn't a turd?

I guess it depends on what you're after. I browse Find occasionally, mostly the DVDs/books, and mostly because it's close to my kid's piano lessons and we frequently arrive too early. (I have also donated furniture there.)

In my opinion, he is the architect of the separation movement (APP and police force are his inventions, all the "blue ribbon" panels, referendum on equalization).

He's only upset that he lost control of the monster he created (and being on Team Canada is now politically popular).

This was followed by an issue titled "Munchies Madness".

I guess in the same way that darts and snooker are sports.

I heard PP use the phrase "Generation Screwed" on the radio, and I quietly reflected on how nice it was not hearing the slogans for a few months.

Could be underwear, could be a donut, could be a pirate.

Edmonton Public Schools didn't decide any of this though, thank the department of education at the Alberta government.

This reminds me of Harper's kid -- is there any evidence he actually did any work? (And is he still on the payroll?)

I actually have no problem with this ... unless I'm missing something? It says "personal time at own expense".

Being as it's Alberta, I guess we can expect to see "orphan nukes" in our future ...

Just curious (as somebody that left Twitter quite some time ago): how does your level of engagement differ between the two platforms? I would guess that you have more followers there, but do you get more likes/responses?

Also one answer was missing an H.

Beautiful shot -- did you get there from Quebec City? (8 hour drive, not sure if there is an easier way.)

Not sure where this is, by my first guesses would be:
1) Under the library;
2) Under the leg grounds
