The Angry French Canadian

(via email)

Some Canadians have created a sandwich to compete with the Fried Cheese Melt, Double Down, McGangBang, McSurf N’ Turf, Grilled Cheeseburger Melt, and the Foot-Long Cheeseburger.

KFC’s Double Down gets some competition

Four Montreal men have created a behemoth of a meal that leaves KFC’s infamous sandwich — made with two deep-fried chicken breasts instead of a bun — in its dust.

The creators have billed it as the greasiest sandwich ever. It’s made from a gooey combo of steamed hot dogs, bacon and poutine, dumped on a French-toasted baguette and covered in maple syrup.

They then dubbed their Frankensandwich ‘The Angry French Canadian’ and estimate the whole thing to carry a whopping 5,343 calories and 207 grams of fat.

(via marinelink.com)

Iron ore shipments on the Great Lakes totaled 5,026,477 net tons in October, a 6.1% decrease compared to September, but a 30.5% improvement over a year ago. Even so, loadings were still 8.6% below the month’s five-year average.

October loadings at U.S. Great Lakes ports increased 28.3% compared to a year ago. Shipments from Canadian ports along the Seaway were up 46%.

Year-to-date the Lakes ore trade stands at 44 million tons, an increase of 90% compared to the same point last year. However, the end-of-October total is still 2.5% off the five-year average for the January-October timeframe. Shipments from U.S. ports are up 92% compared to a year ago. Loadings at Canadian ports are 81% ahead of last year’s pace.
