Palmolive Canada has a coupon for 50 cents off Palmolive Pure & Clear Dish Liquid. I don’t know why Palmolive Canada’s marketing department went through all this fuss for a 50 cent coupon, but it’s still better than nothing. Remember that you can use these coupons on discounted flyer prices so you can still end up with good savings.

I was looking for a picture to use for this blog post and I couldn’t help but notice how sexist Palmolive’s ads used to be during most of the 20th century! Here is just one example! Truly unbelievable how sexist and close minded some people used to be. Click on image to see the full sexist ad:

I had the urge to post about this right after Jim’s weekly McDonald’s Mondays post. Don’t ask me why 😈

There’s a relatively new show on HBO Canada that I strongly recommend if you enjoyed reading the Twilight series. That show is called True Blood and is based on the Southern Vampire Book Series by Charlaine Harris  Thanks to a Japanese scientist’s invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have supposedly been removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures “coming out of the coffin.” Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides.

This isn’t your typical story and that’s what I like about it. I’m also a fan of the Twilight series so this seems to fit in nicely. Season One’s over and Season Two starts on June 14th, 2009. You can get Season 1 from torrents Amazon.ca or any DVD store.

…well, this bridge does anyways. While in no way does it have any direct relationship with McDonald’s, tell me seeing this doesn’t make you want a Big Mac right now.

• May 8 Winner: Post 105 by Connie Walsh
• May 9 Winner: Post 25 by Maybe
• May 10 Winner: Post 139 by Ivan
• May 11 Winner: post 93 by vibrantflame

Winners Please send an email to [email protected] with “Date X Winner” in the subject. Let us know whether you’d prefer a gift card or paypal and the neccessary info to have the gift sent.

____________________________________________________

As promised, today I launch SmartCanucks’ largest contest ever in celebration of the new design and as a thank you to all the wonderful readers who made SC the beautiful place it is today. I’ve met a lot of amazing people through SC and made some everlasting friendships and I look forward to meeting new people and making new friends. Thank you.

I’ll be giving away a $10 Gift Card or PayPal cash daily for the next few months. Everyday we’ll have a different winner (you cannot win more than once). This means that we’ll have over 100 different winners so you have an excellent chance of winning.

Here’s how the contest will work: Every week we’ll have a new discussion topic. You can enter the contest by leaving comments and participating in the discussion. You’re allowed a maximum of 3 entries per week but you are more than welcome to post more than 3 comments if you’re enjoying the discussion (they will count as 3). Any spammy comments that don’t add true value to the discussion will not be included as contest entries.

Everyday (at no particular time because my schedule is pretty hectic) a winner will be randomly chosen.The winner will be chosen from all entries since the beginning of that week’s contest. So you may have left a comment on Day 1 and you could still win on Day 5. The winner can choose a gift card for a national store like Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws, Tim Hortons, MasterCard cash card, etc. or cash via PayPal.

A few more quick points…

I’m looking for sponsors

If you own or work at a company or in Marketing/PR and are interested in sponsoring a day or week of my contest I’d really appreciate that! Please email me at smartcanucks at gmail dot com.

I’m looking for a reputable Youtuber or Blogger to randomly choose the daily winner

Right now I’ll be randomly choosing the daily winner myself. But if a well known Youtuber or Blogger is interested in taking over that task to prove it’s done fairly that would be great! Please email me at smartcanucks at gmail dot com.

How am I affording to pay for this?

I’ll be paying for this using the money I made from GoogleAds mainly. Hopefully I can get a few sponsors too.

Is this the same as the contest running on Smart Canucks Forum?

No, it is different.

Now onto the contest…  😀

Let us know of your childhood or young adult memories  and the things you cherished the most. What makes you nostalgic? What do you miss? Tell us about a special moment you recall.

Contest info: New $10 gift card or paypal winner chosen daily.

Spring is in the air, and I’m alive. It must mean I have a mother somewhere and it’s time to say thank you!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mommies out there in the SmartCanucks community. I hope your day is full of breakfasts in bed, cards made from macaroni, and lots of hugs and love.

While I can’t be nearly as nice to my wife today as I’d like to be (due to my erratic work schedule) I’d just like to give her an extra special thank you. We have two great kids, and you’ve been an amazing mom for nearly five years now. I might not be able to make breakfast in bed happen today, but hopefully this public thank you for all you’ve done can help make up for it.

Pictured above are my wife and our second daughter, Emily, taken shortly after her birth. I love my kids. I love my wife. And I’m very thankful for both. Happy Mother’s Day, Hailea.

If my Facebook is to be believed (and I think it is!) today is the birthday of our fearless leader and good friend Boo Radley.

Happy Birthday Boo! It’s been a great few years working with you sir, and I hope all of your birthday wishes come true!

I won’t give away the gentleman’s age, lest I ruin the mystique. Instead I’ll share the above photo with you, one of the rare brief sightings of a Boo Radley in the wild. No one really knows what he looks like. Catching a glimpse is about as rare as the Sasquatch..

Boo – are you the Sasquatch? 😉
