Not Canadian, but very, very cool.

Okay, so it's not Canadian except that I picked it up via a VO tweet. It's a Siegfried from Spain detailing some of the video production that went into the staging involving 5 hours of video, 14 projectors, and god knows how many people-hours. Definitely hit the "full screen" button. Enjoy!

HSBC a Wagner fan

I love any time I can see an opera reference in day-to-day life. Stewart Hall, HSBC's Canada economist describing the first quarter of 2009: “A dismal quarter, yes, but not quite Götterdämmerung,” He went on to say "While financial stocks are expected to continue falling like Tosca from a parapet and energy stocks should see a Mimi-like decline throughout the year, prcious metals will start to rise faster than Escamillio's chest around a chorus girl." Okay, not really.
