Considering Inq central is further north than most of the population of Canada. I guess they speak with true experience of northern wastelands.

I would like to take this moment to Apologize to all the non-Canadians reading this article and comments. 

It appears our IQ has dropped a notch and worse, our sense of humour has suffered greatly.

My fellow Canadians... your attention please...

I do believe that the headline indicating that "Canada is a wasteland" is simply the INQ's continuation of poking fun of an article subject matter by making the headline 'witty'... aka... smart. 

This has been going on for years, and to you Canadians new to reading INQ or new to witt, I would suggest you go back and read all of the headlines to practice getting back your humour.

This headline, when read by someone without a funny bone, might find it insulting. Others, like me, with my funny bone squarely between my ears (hint: witt), read it with the meaning WasteLand = being wasted, as in drunk. It's an article on Beer (Canadian beer, mmmm). And so the joke is that we're all drunk on beer. 

Of course, maybe they didn't mean it that way. But that is the 'fun' of reading INQ.

Now if you will excuse me, the shakes are back... must get bottle.

Keep those headlines coming boyz...

Cheers to INQ!

just because it is now owned by Coors doesn't mean its not based in Canada. Heres a little backstory for ya:

Pioneers in Canadian brewing since 1786.

John Molson founded Canada's oldest brewery on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal in 1786. Ever since, the Molson brewers have been passionate about brewing different beers for Canadians to enjoy. Today, Molson is now one of Canada's oldest consumer brand names and North America's oldest beer brand.

Coors didn't buy Molson, Molson and Coors merged, so each compagny is 50% USA and 50% Canadian.

And for me, this site has no credibility as long as they call Canada "Northern wasteland".

the inq insulted canada... 
grow a sense of humour or go read cnet or some other "serious" publication... i for one, enjoy the inquirer's rapier-sharp wit, even if it is directed our way once in a while.

molson sucks anyways... their customers deserved to be hosed by their cheap marketing gimmicks.


Molson is an American (Coors) company. So calling it a Canadian brewery is plain wrong.

How a site like TheInquirer can call the entire Canada a Northern Wastelands? Just wow. You've just lost one reader right there and the credibility and respect from an entire country.

Being canadian, I'm not certain I enjoy my country being called "Northern wasteland", especially coming from a "southern coutry" that does not have many friends anymore and is losing more and more every day, I think a little more politeness is in order.



Iphone is a pathetic excuse for a mobile phone. Why even bother? 
It has a functionality of a <100 € phone. 



Would it not have to be Rogers to take The iPhone? They are the only provider as far as I know in most parts of Ontario/Quebec that would already have the network for the iPhone, I doubt Bell or Telus would really wanna upgrade anything just to use a new phone on their network.
