Dec 302012

Across America, snow plows are pushing walls of snow out of the streets, and dumping salt and sand across the highways. But in Canada, it’s a different story.

Just recently, Montreal was hit with so much snow, they had to commission construction-grade snow blowers to shoot the mounds of fluffy white stuff into truck beds that were lined up one after another.

As the video by Nanioushka is so appropriately titled, O Canada. The video has instantly gone viral after being featured on Reddit.

Eagle Snatches Toddler Sitting In Park But Thankfully Drops Him

Dec 192012

MrNuclearCat was at a nice park in Montreal and spotted a beautiful Golden Eagle soaring the sky, so he took out his camera to capture the rare animal.

Suddenly, the great bird swooped down, and before the cameraman could actually realize what was happening, actually snatched a cute toddler sitting on the grass with his family.

Thankfully, the eagle realized this wasn’t your average groundhog, and dropped the little guy after a few moments. The child’s puffy winter coat acted as a buffer to the terribly sharp claws, so in the end the little guy was only in a fit of tears. As he should be.

The new video already has over 1.3 million views, and is featured on sites like Independent, SayOMG, Geek, HuffPost, and Neatorama.
