Poutine
Michael J. Fox
censorship (as Canadian as maple syrup)
the CBC
the Mope and Wail
the ``Harvard of the North'' ☺☺☺
our patron saints

We're running the Plan 9 distributed operating system, 4th edition, on all the internal collyer.net and collyer.ca systems and most of the externally-visible ones. We benefit from the upas mail system and dns nameserver, rather than sendmail and BIND.
