                        Start off the day with love on your mind. Rise early before 
                        your special comrade and scrape the ice off your sweetheart's 
                        windshield before your valentine heads off to battle. 
                        Put some elbow into it and scrape heart shapes on the 
                        windshield and windows to impress your Canuck cutie. Think 
                        of the many erotic variations on "Wash Me" you 
                        can carve into that half metre of ice on the hood! 4/ 
                        You can't possibly consume enough maple syrup on St. Valentine's 
                        Day! It 
                        may be a staple of our Northern diet, but there's no doubt 
                        that the romantic properties of maple syrup are legendary. 
                        Who could turn down an experience sure to be both sticky 
                        and sweet? 
 We asked our mascot beaver Gordie what was in his combat 
                        flask, and the answer proved to be most agreeable to fans 
                        of maple-flavoured booze. Straight from the front lines, 
                        here's a recipe for a beverage sure to charm Canadian 
                        cuties from coast to coast.

                        You'll need a special place to consume that maple syrup, 
                        why not take your best gal or guy outside for a winter 
                        wonderland picnic? Call your sled dogs away from tearing 
                        out the throats of the unCanadian -- No time for play 
                        on Valentine's Day! 
 Bundle up your cutie in your Sunday best flannel and stock 
                        your sled with romantic delectables. Anything you hope 
                        your honey will lick off the small exposed sections of 
                        your flesh not layered under winter gear should go in 
                        the picnic basket. Don't forget beer and Coffee Crisp. 
                        The beauty of the wilderness picnic is the clean-up time. 
                        Shake out the Coffee Crisp crumbs in the snow and toss 
                        leftover tortiere to the dogs!
 Tips 
                        for making a move on a hottie trapped under shell after 
                        shell of Mountain Equipment Co-op: You'll find many of 
                        those jackets can be modified to zip together to create 
                        giant, four-armed nylon liners or Gore-tek snowpants with 
                        room for two.
 Is it your own synthetic igloo or a steamy love shack? 
                        You decide!

                              Soften up a grumpy honey with a cozy viewing of 
                              the Road to Avonlea episode where Aunt Hetty's 
                              sharp tongue inadvertently offends Olivia.  Now 
                              any Canadian will realize there are four episodes 
                              containing this plot -- But you want the one after 
                              Olivia marries Jasper, before Cecily contracts tuberculosis, 
                              and after Felicity goes to medical school. 
 Give your valentine a big smooch each time Hetty 
                              says, "Have you taken leave of your senses!?" 
                              Even bigger smooches if the cannery is flooded, 
                              burnt, collapsed, or runs out of fish.

                        Who can resist a roaring fire on a snowy February evening? 
                        Certainly not your Canadian beloved. All you need to build 
                        your own romantic bonfire is the following: 
 - Eight cords of wood (Take care that they are procured 
                        from forests in our occupied territories as true Canadian 
                        trees need to stay where they are -- they are preparing 
                        to scare the shit out of the Scottish when we "come 
                        to Dunsinane").
 
 - One can of lighter fluid (Our love experts advise tying 
                        a red velvet bow around the can; your special someone 
                        will appreciate this attention to detail!).
 
 Organize your logs in the triangular tented fashion you 
                        all learned about in Re-education camp. Put your arm around 
                        your sweetie and sprinkle lighter fluid on the wood. Strike 
                        a match off the unshaven chin of an American POW and toss 
                        it on the log pile. Enjoy the romance of the flickering 
                        flames!
