TSN reports

[sorry if this is a double-post]

How does one exactly survive being run over by a bulldozer? I can't find anything on the internet which goes into further detail about that incident.

Thats a Canadian toughness, you Yanks would never understand...Ernie came from a family where his daddy would constantly "spank him"...Turn around and say.."Now do me, sonny"!!

Another whiny Canadian comparing himself to Americans, stop it. It is kind of like the Red Sox comparing themselves to the Yankees. As my wife says, it is only the Red Sox fans that care... And while I have known many tough Canadians as well as Americans, but I have also known plenty of whiners on both sides of the border. It is a Darwinian thing and someone should bottle this guys DNA.

 

 

On an aside, as a 15 year old, I bushwacked in the woods north of North Bay with a grid map and a compass for three weeks. The Canadian outback is rough country and there is no one there if you get hurt or lost. It obvious this guy is tough and it is a great story.

Possibly mistaking toughness for gayness and .
