toronto

1. Large city that is to Canadians what New York is to Americans (in the sense of being the one place that everyone from elsewhere in the country agrees that they hate). Also resembles New York in being totally different in every way from the rest of the country.

2. (Hockey) A team that proves that management never has to field a winning team if the fans are sufficiently deluded/fanatical, and keep buying season tickets "just in case".

3. A Canadian city that is probably a little too full of itself (in terms of thinking of itself as "world class", etc.), but is still a good place to live.

If the Greater Toronto Area were a province all by itself, it would be the third most populous province in Canada.

madonna

An extremely talented marketer, who over more than twenty years has excelled in the aggressive selling of an otherwise not particularly desirable product -- herself. A triumph of style over substance. Her acting talent was recognized by her being awarded a special “Worst actress of the century” Razzie at the 2000 Golden Raspberry awards. (Has since seen the light and given up on acting). Also an author, her best known work being 1992’s “Sex”, which was sold sealed in plastic -- not because it was obscene, but because no one would have bought it if they were able to see how lame the contents really were. Also supposedly a musician.

Madonna has staying power in the public eye, although I've never been able to figure out why.

Liberal party

Canadian political organization, previously known as the Reform party (in the 1870s). Governed Canada for all but thirty years of the twentieth century. Usually feels itself to be the 'natural governing party' of Canada: often corrupt, and becomes even more so when the opposition is fragmented. Recently almost self-destructed in the wake of a particularly well documented and obvious corruption scandal. Has always shown great talent for re-inventing itself when necessary, willing to contort itself into any position necessary to win votes (at least east of Winnipeg). Presently in rebuilding mode in the wake of the recent scandal.

The Liberal party usually wins based on seats in Eastern Canada -- It's rare for them to do very well in the west.

artifact children

Term invented (or at least popularized) by the late musician Frank Zappa to describe children conceived primarily for the experience of having them.

"There seems to be this trend for the young modern parent to have a child for these reasons: For the woman to experience the miracle of childbirth and for the young couple to raise their precious child to be this immaculate artifact of modern society. If people think today's punk kids are repulsive, wait until they see what these little artifact children are going to do."

rich

(noun) Someone with a lot more money than you. As such, the definition is elastic depending on one's economic status. Usually a term applied to others rather than to oneself.

Make the rich pay! (Marxist-Leninist party of Canada campaign slogan, circa 1980)

Mouvement 51

Former political organization in the Canadian province of Quebec that advocated Quebec becoming the 51st state of the United States. They thought that it might be possible to arrange for Quebec to have only one official language more easily than if they remained part of Canada. This was probably true, except that the one official language wouldn't have been Français. The organization's policies don't appear to have been well thought-out.

Mouvement 51 wanted to ensure a French-speaking Quebec by becoming part of the United States. C'est fou!
