Perhaps the record rainfall and flooding in the Maritime Provinces had
something in the improvement of air quality  coming from Canuckistan.

the canned stuff reminds me of Puss & Bootsd canned cat food. Still, if
Robert's Fish Market or Hy-Vee run a really good special I might make 
something like this:
