Charles the gorilla is an old stalwart at the zoo in Toronto, I think he's over 40 years old.



But the Winnipeg Zoo has a young baby gibbon named Salju that's adorable.

Do we even need to ask? I'd say the answer is pretty much a gibbon.

I voted for Saskatchewan. The only Canadian gibbons and macaques in the wild are located in SW Saskatchewan's tropical rainforest, more specifically in the Maple Creek area (which also happens to be the only tropical rainforest in Canada and the only one north of the Yucatan Peninsula).

Doug Ford has always reminded me of a baboon.

Despite this, the Mandrills at the Magnetic Hill Zoo here in Moncton get my vote,

Does Doug Ford count or is that an insult to our primate cousins?

Don Cherry is a Baboon. Doug Ford? A panda but, one that is not so cute that we forget how useless they are. Or, maybe a Panda is best left for Wynne.

Man, I was just coming here to post this too:


https://www.thebeaverton.com/2017/09...ng-unbearable/

The article it came from, in hindsight (it's from September 2017) is a really depressing read. That's what we thought a worst-case Doug Ford scenario would be two years ago!

I actually like the new post (federal) election Ford. Seems like he's lost of lot of the characteristic Ford belligerence.

It seems obvious to me he is after Sheer's job. Good news for Ontario, bad news for Canada.

That thing is ugly! It's got an old man face on a hairy baby body. Shave it bald and it looks like it should be something you'd expect flying a UFO.

It was a bad pun; not an actual aesthetic preference.
