Canada FAILS; brings entire world down with it...
The Urgent Threat to World Peace is … Canada
The harm this country could do in the next two weeks will outweigh all the good it has done in a century.

So if any of you are using a mac, you’re probably using the PathFinder app, too.

TLDR Warning! (Suggested remedy: play the song in the post before this while you read! At least then you’ll be a dancing bored reader.)
