Favorite Things- NS Coat of arms


Telling the story of a unicorn and a culturally insensitive (yet beloved?) member of the Village people the Nova Scotia coat of arms is in a word: hilarious. With little effort I learned real story--I can tell you now, it was not whimsical: "they were granted to the Royal Province of Nova Scotia in 1625 by King Charles I in support of the first British colonial effort on the Canadian mainland." Boring.

I would much prefer to believe Nova Scotia was once a land of Unicorns ridden my shirtless men in headdresses the likes of which Stephen Harper can only dream about.

In honour of the noble unicorn I give you two videos of delight and fascination.
