    Is this a deep Canadian reference? Do I have to join the Canadian Illuminati to find out what it means?

      There was a drama show about Canada’s version of Wall Street (Bay Street) traders called, well, Traders.
      The guy who played Harold played a main character (I think a partner in the firm?) on Traders at the same time for a few years. Harold sometimes made references/easter eggs about the show.

      But yes, you likely need to be Canadian (and at least 30) to know.

      Also, the guy from The Hanging Garden (unless you’re in the Canuckinati, you need to be gay, and Canadian, and 30+ to know about this movie, but it’s pretty great for its time) was also in this show.
      He also later did a pretty weird-but interesting web show called “Cute with Chris”, which is also worth a look.

        I had no idea! Thank you, I’ve decided not to join the Canuckinati, please don’t reveal any more secrets to me.

          That’s the safer choice to make.
          If you ever do want to apply, you need to seek the beasts of Beave and Buckley, Lady Mona of Nanalan, or Lunette queen of the couch.
