Requiscat in Pacem- Canada's National Tragedy Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,152793,00.html

quote:
A beer truck flipped over on a roadway overpass in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Monday, prompting local officials to comment on the tragedy.

"It is sad," Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service (search) told The Daily News of Halifax. "Chances are they won't recover any of the beer."

The truck, hauling 46,368 bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (search), skidded to a stop against the overpass's guardrail, luckily avoiding a 50-foot plunge down to another road.

The female driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured — "more frazzled than hurt," according to Logan — letting rescuers focus on the calamitous aspects of the disaster.

"I had a tear in my eye, actually, when I was watching it," said police Constable Mark Hobeck. "It was full of beer. We were hoping a Hostess truck full of pretzels would come by, but no such luck."

Just as everyone has their favorite saint, so everyone has their favorite beer. One does not win points by flinging pooh at other saints. What do you expect for showing dissent towards beer?

Well this beer isn't THAT bad. Its just that when I buy an India Pale Ale I expect a nice flavour with lots of hops, not a very average watery lager.

Beer should not be deceptive

NZ beer is pretty lame. There are a couple of good independents, but most of it is about the same as Canadian beer.

Then again, there's that disgusting diluted cat urine that Americans jokingly refer to as "beer".

Canadian beer is shite. It's like a stronger version of our mass produced crap. At least America produces some decent beers amongst most the the watery piss. I've never seen a decent Canadian import.

Would they have written "the male driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured" had the driver been male?
