Angel >> The Expos' proposed downtown ballpark Now we need it more than ever, because no one's going to bother risking their lives by going to see a game at Olympic Stadium. After the old roof ripped and tore five times in 10 years, management spent $37 million to install a new roof last fall. On Monday afternoon a portion of the new roof collapsed, drenching workers who were setting up for this week's Auto Show. Let's face facts: Montrealers hate that stadium, and if we never had to go back there again it would suit us fine. Time to build a new stadium and sell the old one off for scrap.

Insect >> Our dumb blonde heritage Canadian identity has always been one of those rather hard-to-define concepts. Most Canucks would be hard-pressed to see their own reflection in the face of the Queen or a beaver. But, elusive as it may be, clearly a few basics have escaped our federal politicians. The mandate of the Canadian Heritage Department is to "strengthen and celebrate Canada," but somehow a book of dumb blonde jokes has earned a $100,000 federal subsidy. A truly Canadian joke book would have featured Newfies in lieu of blonde chicks. Or does brunette Heritage Minister Sheila Copps have a problem with blondes?
