Well, it's been a long time since July, and Shane is still a "bolthole". At least that's what Don says. Shane says Don is a "retread" and a "flippin' loser".

They are both dead right.

Gordon Heavyfoot left the bar and has gotten a job at a local farm that runs a petting zoo.

The McKenzie Brothers are probably in California. Ditto for Pamela Anderson.

Shane is still hoping to meet Shania Twain. "She would fall for me in a second, man...", he's been heard to say. Shane lives in a world of his own, like most of us.

They have opened up another Tim Hortons shop in Blind River. You can now walk less than 500 feet in any given direction, and bump into a Tim Hortons shop. This is handy for lazy people who don't like to walk very far to get their daily fix of caffeine and sugar. "The only thing is, they ain't got beer, and you can't smoke in there either," complains Shane.

As you can see, not much has really changed north of the border...
