I’ve had occasion to say before how bookmarks make such great collectibles because you can pick them up anywhere you visit. Or anywhere people you know visit. This past week my neighbours went to Algonquin Park and brought me back this peaceful bookmark. On the back it says “The haunting wail of the loon; your paddle gently slicing the still water; the sun rising through the mist; a perfect start to any day while interior camping in Algonquin Park. In Algonquin there are over 2,000 lakes for you to explore.”
Is there anything as Canadian as paddling your canoe on a lake while listening to the haunting wail of the loon? Not unless it’s some activity involving maple syrup. So here’s some pure Canadiana for you to enjoy.

Canoodling with some bootleg maple syrup, while canoeing and listening to the loons.
Yep, sounds about as Canadian as you can possibly get!

Not sure what a Canadian loon is, over here it means a mad person. Nice bookmark though!

They have a haunting call, which you can enjoy in a sound file on their Wiki page!

Is this my new podcast for Penthouse? I wasn’t aware it was being broadcast in Canada as yet. I’ll let you know when it’s fully up, if you’ll pardon the expression.
