Grumman delivery truck braces the camera for a long exposure.[/caption]
By the colour of the photo and the thickness of last night's fog I'd say someone opened up a can of Habitant pea soup on this Fairview neighbourhood (Mmm!). If you haven't the foggiest idea what I'm referring to then you might not be Canadian. And if you are Canadian and you still don't know then, well -- no offense -- but you might not be Canadian enough.
Habitant pea soup has been sold in big fat yellow cans all my life. It's available outside Canada only in specialty food stores. Habitant (both the soup and the word) is French-Canadian which means both that it comes from Quebec and they borrowed it from France over 400 years ago -- and France never asked for it back.
Can't get more Canadian than that.
