While we all know that it’s pretty hard to travel anywhere without finding a McDonald’s, it’s astounding how many there really are. In the United States alone there are nearly 14,000. How do I know? Thanks to fastfoodmaps.com.
Somebody out there took the time to create a Google Maps overlay that shows the locations of every major fast food restaurant in the United States. It’s great if you’re traveling and want to know what’s going to be near your hotel that’s quick and easy to eat. If not, it’s just downright creepy and a great indicator of where the next great labour uprising might start.
Nothing similar to this for Canada that I can find. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Once again Cyanne has volunteered to run the referral chains/groups on Smart Canucks and help us all get FREE extra Shoppers Drug Mart referral points 
Instead of you registering alone and no one making use of referring you, what we do is refer each other and then split the points amongst us. You can still refer your friends and you will get all the points for any friend you refer. By referring each other we get 5000 additional Optimum points for free 😉

Just in time for the release of the latest Pixar film “Up,” Amazon is having a sale on all Pixar titles. Most of these are going for around the $20 mark — much better than the $35 or so Disney films usually go for.
Sadly, the entire Pixar catalogue isn’t represented. I’m pretty sure that films like Toy Story are back in the Disney Vault and/or out of print right now. Still – a pretty good selection. Click here for great savings on animated goodness.
I’m not sure if this is a one time use coupon or not but from the fine print I’d say it’s not. Save 40% on any one regular priced item at Michael’s Canada excluding sale items. This Michaels Canada coupon expires on May 22nd, 2009.

I’m guessing this is for the gals who get lipstick on their teeth?
Now I’m not normally one to get indignant in the face of corporate BS, but this one just really rubbed me the wrong way.
Wal-Mart has been pushing their “For the Greener Good” initiative since the green living bandwagon kicked into full force some time ago, and for the most part I applaud them. As a company they’ve made some excellent decisions, and their corporate responsibility regarding environmental concerns has improved drastically. I totally get that one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch, but walking into my local Wal-Mart and seeing what I saw sent me into a Hulk-like rage.
Not only was the store lighting at 100% (something that had been reduced by 1/3 nationwide back in 2007 to conserve electricity), but every single display model lamp was plugged in and turned on to their brightest settings.
I really am a big supporter of what Wal-Mart is doing with their For the Greener Good campaign. You can read all about it on their company website. It’s just a shame that this one store doesn’t seem to get the message.
Am I just being too energy-conscious? Or is this a ridiculous waste of electricity?

Sport Chek Canada will be having a friends and family spring event sale for 2 days on Wednesday May 20th and Thursday May 21st, 2009. These sales usually have discounts of 25% so this is most likely what the value of this sale will be too.
