Canadian Grand Prix Dropped For 2009, No More F1 In North America
Canuck F1 fans today are mourning the loss of the Canadian Grand Prix from the 2009 Formula One schedule, said to be the result of "contractual problems" between the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and F1 management.

Imagine a world where Detroit cars dominate, yet French is the language! Yes, Quebec in 1990 was such a place, and Chrysler knew those wacky Habitants wouldn't be able to resist the allure of the Dodge Shadow… provided, of course, that local girl Céline Dion- or a lookalike- performed a very strange baby-seat-summoning dance ritual in their ads.
