The Beaver Shit today! Thank you Phoenix!

Now that's a uniquely Canadian sentiment.

Thanks CL, no, they can't filter out everything and sometimes they are unsafe to eat I figured that was probably the case. Nova Scotian waters aren't known for being warm enough to cause that problem very often. I couldn't find the article I clipped out. A quick google brought this up though: https:...
