The CanLit Generator is the best thing I've seen today. I know some of you will find it amusing.
For those of you who aren't from Canada, trust me, it's accurate. Especially the despair and incest.

"Three undergraduates from diverse backgrounds raise a sheep that may or may not talk in an RV to bring medicine to their snowed in family" = yes please, "A prairie nun meets a BC woman who never takes off her hiking gear to better know their withdrawn, uncommunicative father" = would rather die and feel like I had to read it already 30 times in Saskatchewan high school.

Date: 2016-02-17 01:35 am (UTC)A statue of Louis Riel builds a small-town church on a stolen houseboat despite an absent father.
A troupe of French-Canadian clowns have to leave Frobisher Bay in a Bennett buggy while working for the Hudson's Bay Company.
A group of writers battle with a Wendigo under the pall of heavily implied incest
A Port Dover fish farmer lives a metaphor in the Great Depression to reconnect with the false, nostalgic simplicity of their youth.
A statue of Louis Riel learns to salt and cure cod in a pickup truck to find themselves.
Lol!! A troupe of French-Canadian clowns cross the Rockies which results in the death of half of The Tragically Hip.
Damn, these are addictive, lol.
A group of writers bury a memento in the dirt outside their childhood home, disillusioned with the pace and emptiness of urban living. <-- Pretty sure I've read that one.

Date: 2016-02-17 05:04 pm (UTC)A family and their dog smuggle rum under the pall of heavily implied incest
Drake builds the 2nd tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Canada to provide care for their ailing mother.
Two dogs transform into a moose in the Day-Glo version of Newfoundland they show you in the tourism ads to make it to a funeral.
ETA:
Two dogs write Laura Secord erotic fan-fiction only to be beset by the spirits of their ancestors.
I like all the dogs

Date: 2016-02-19 12:15 am (UTC)I can't also help but feel that somewhere, a parent will be horrified and outraged (probably by all the heavily implied incest and the bear sex) and complain; but it's still hilarious, so. :D
