Fun Fact: when an Ottawa baby reaches one year old, it is the local custom to leave them outside at Hog's Back Falls overnight. The legendary Rideau Hog will pass judgement on them. If the baby passes their Baconing they will arrive home riding the Hog's Back (hence the name) the next morning.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.
