Comedian Rick Mercer has started a blog this June, and he is as entertaining and contentious as ever. If you haven’t seen any of his work, Rick would be Canada’s more cynical version of Jon Stewart.

Today he writes:

It’s too damned hot! 34 degrees in Toronto yesterday, and they say today it will be 41 with the humidity. This is no place for a Newfoundlander; I’m part seal pup. I melt when it gets past 25.

I’m on my way to Newfoundland on Monday for the opening of The Rooms. (www.therooms.ca) Not a moment too soon. If you are sitting in Toronto dying of the heat and smog grab the kids and go to Newfoundland. They will be able to breath there.
