The most important of these is the 401, the busiest highway in North America, with average annual daily traffic (AADT) of more than 425,000 vehicles in 2004, and daily traffic sometimes exceeding 500,000 vehicles."

My little brother goes to Walpole High School and on Thursday asked to watch the USA vs. Slovakia game during Spanish class. When his teacher said no he called her a communist. She gave him a detention for it. Attached is a picture of the detention slip she gave him

The U.S. were up 2-0 on Canada until the final minutes of the 3rd period, when Marie-Philip Poulin tied the game with 55 seconds remaining to send the game to overtime, where Canada eventually won. However, the game wouldn't have gone to overtime if that freakin' puck had just gone two inches to the right.

Meanwhile, the goalpost has been nominated as Supreme Emperor of Canada.

Have the stakes ever been higher?
