Maybe we Ontario folk are either too boring not to like the fireworks thing, or too imaginative because we found much better things to do.
They're huge back there.... watcha talkin' about?
We had fireworks on May 24th weekend, and July 1... That was it. And nobody got to buy them from a store. You needed a permit to blow your hand off back home.

I must be getting old. Loud noises are now bothersome. Instead of blowing it up, could you just push it over instead?

You just answered your own question. He was a 'Rider fan.

In Ottawa and Montreal, there never were. Setting fire to things makes them much less useful, usually. In Ottawa, we had a horse that raced around the field like the one in Calgary does, but he passed on.

Because rubbing two Boy Scouts together became politically incorrect. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
