Canadian National Emblem Rescue Team. Our politicians do double duty as beaver wranglers in Ottawa.

Singer Charley Pride refunds fan in person for online ticket purchase.

"A woman in Leduc, Alta., got a huge surprise Thursday when country music legend Charley Pride showed up at her workplace to give her back the money she paid an online reseller for tickets to his Edmonton show.

Jacqueline Sharp, 58, paid $933 US for two tickets to Pride's June 20 show at Edmonton's Jubilee Auditorium.

After the case was brought to Pride's attention, he flew from Dallas to Leduc to reimburse her.

"I've always made sure that ... none of the promoters or whoever charge too much for my tickets from the very beginning of my career," he said. "It's just a matter of what's fair … I wouldn't want to pay this much money to see myself!"

In addition to the $933 US, Pride gave Sharp two front-row tickets to his Edmonton show."

I think Mr Pryde shows a certain amount of humility and flair at the same time. Good on him.

And some people are just plain stupid and tactless.

"SAINT JOHN, N.B. - Workers at a Tim Hortons in New Brunswick had to do a double-double take after a drive-thru customer placed an order in the nude.

Police officers were called to the coffee shop in Saint John's north end today after reports of a naked driver.

The women working at the drive-thru window were not impressed."

Obviously someone really needed his coffee in the morning along with his meds and common sense.
