Beavers, Co op, and Canadian Pride in View
The piece riffs on beavers as a symbol of Canada and mocks U S beaver hunting schemes. It mentions the Beaver Cooperative of Mississippi seeking pelts, the joke about Canada’s beaver as a national mascot, and playful satire about Canadian politics and civil servants. It cites cultural references and a lighthearted quiz about Canada’s largest cities.
