You'd certainly not want a bear behind.

Google "toonie". It's a Canadian two-dollar coin.
It has the Queen on the front, with a bear behind.

Charlie on the front, a loon on the back, perhaps? Although, IIRC,
the loon already decorates the candian dollar.

Perhaps it was a local beer? After a few, it, it can be easy to get
confused about distance.

Correct, commonly called loonies. When they were first introduced, I
thought they should be called balloons in view of how much one would
buy.

The twonies with the bear behinds are curious items: a bronzy disk
about the size of a US penny swaged into the center of a silvery
annular rim. If you heat one to a red heat and quench several times,
you can get the rim to spin on the center. Shazzam! You have a
fidget spinner for two bucks instead of ten bucks and you can still
spend it in a pinch.

If you have access to a 3D printer this is my version of a fidget
spinner:

About 50c to print.

With my luck, the center piece would fall out and get lost.
I have seen one where the two pieces separated.

I always thought the term "toonie" was a bit too cute.
I would rather they were called "doubloonies".

Yes it will. It wonder what will be on the back, though. Probably
nothing joke-worthy.

Enough to make one gag, no?
With any luck at all, they will change the bear to something less
suggestive.

BTW, I always thought that whoever coined the term 'toonie' missed the
boat. Should have been called the 'moonie'.

Maybe when the King is on the two dollar coin, the bear will be removed.
After all, we can *not* bear the King... ;-)

That’s just asking for trouble. My guess is that British Columbia has more
in common with Washington than with Nova Scotia. Likewise the prairie
provinces with the US upper midwest, Ontario with Michigan and New York,
and the Atlantic provinces with New England. Quebec, of course, is the odd
one out. If Canada ever split up it might be the signal for a wholesale
game of mutual chairs between Canada and the US.

Seeing that the Crown of the British Commonwealth held a elaborate and
expensive Moloch worship ceremony at the commonwealth games, perhaps
Canada might form its own union of free states and break all ties with
the Devil-worshiping, child-sacrificing cult of the Crown.

When the head of government is openly worshiping Satan in front of 72
countries, it is clear the government has its priorities askew.

[Picture of the public devil worship ceremony at the Commonwealth Games]
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/viI5jnW4JnQ/hq720.jpg

[Video of the public devil worship ceremony at the Commonwealth Games]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKgYefqTCb0

For those who don't know their religious history and theology, Ba'al, or
Moloch, is the Babylonian sun god who demands human sacrifice to appease
his wrath. Ancient worshipers of Moloch burned infants in sacrifice to
the prince of demons. They believed it would "save the environment" and
prevent "climate change" so that their deity would give good weather to
provide a good harvest season.

Imagine these people standing around watching their babies burn in a
furnace, praying to their god to improve the environment for their crops
and give them the "light of life." Imagine how their babies screamed in
pain and terror as the flames of fire consumed them and their god,
Moloch, consumed the souls of their little infants. This religion is
what the Crown openly supports: sacrificing the children to appease the
wrath of a demon.

[The British devil's mum wearing his solar symbol]
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iksBZyRLfu8/hq720.jpg

These revelations make differences in political and fiscal policy seem
insignificant. Petitioning a devil for political policy change is like
petitioning a fox for hen house border security.

The graphic display of Satanism at the Commonwealth Games shows the
religion of the people that rule the British Commonwealth nations. They
have had their solar-cult religion handed down to them for many
generations from ancient Babylon. The "divine right of kings" theology
came from this cult by way of Egypt. They consider themselves a "master
race" with the divine right to rule over you and take all your property.
In their minds, you are their property, and they can do whatever they
want with their property, including burn it and sacrifice it in
orchestrated wars to cull the herd.
