Throughout Canadian history, Ontario has always been one of the wealthiest provinces, and a driver of national economic growth. Over the last three years, Ontario’s net debt increased by $22.8 billion and over the next three years, the proposed budget calls for provincial debt to grow by an estimated $52 billion. The massive explosion in Ontario’s debt is completely unsustainable and there is no end in sight. Stefan Molyneux outlines the risks involved.
ROXI D’LITE
Hailing from Windsor, Ontario, in the Great Frozen North of Canada, Roxi D’Lite has established a rep as one of the bad girls of burlesque. She describes herself as “The Drinkin’ Smokin’ Strippin’ Machine,” and burnished her bad-girl cred by starring in the film Burlesque Assassins. Be that as it may, Roxi is often most alluring when she sheds the raunchy persona. She can be dreamboat-sweet, too, as in her erotic act, “Junglesque,” with an aerial climax, performed at The Orleans Casino for the Viva Las Vegas Festival.

But Roxi would not be Roxi unless she was purr-fecting something naughty, as in this act called “Fetish Feline.” That latex outfit she’s wearing would put Catwoman to shame, regardless of whether you’re talking Eartha Kitt or Julie Newmar.

Two chefs go nuclear over who will win a coveted cake baking contest in Ellie Ventura’s clever stop-motion short Crema Suprema. Stay tuned until the end as it opens in black-and-white, and then ignites in a burst of color. Ventura created the work in 2008, while attending Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. No fewer than eight graduates from the school have earned Oscar awards or nominations for their animation. H/T Animation Blog

On tap tonight: Carling’s Black Label, USA.
While Carling reached its peak as an American beer, it’s originally a Canadian lager, first brewed beginning in 1840 in the city of London, Ontario Province. In 1880, an American brewery in Cleveland, Ohio, acquired the rights to produce the Carling brand beers and lagers stateside. The Carling formula: To offer a high-quality lager, at budget prices. To accomplish that, Carling would be bottled regionally at eight or so brewing plants scattered around the United States.
The brand enjoyed its greatest success in the 1950s and 1960s after hiring Jeanne Goodspeed, a New York actress and model, to appear in TV commercials as “Mabel,” the smiling waitress ever-on-the-ready to serve Black Label, while a popular jingle drove home the message — “Hey Mabel — Black Label.” After Goodspeed retired to become a mother, Carling didn’t hire a replacement, but instead created a cartoon likeness of Mabel.
Carling ceased to exist as a stand-alone US brewery in 1979. Since then, other breweries have maintained the line, the most recent being Pabst.
