The water utility in Edmonton, EPCOR, published the most incredible graph of water consumption last week. By now you’ve probably heard that up to 80% of Canadians were watching last Sunday’s gold medal Olympic hockey game. So I guess it stands to reason that they’d all go pee between periods.
But still—the degree to which the water consumption matches with the key breaks in the hockey game is stunning.
It would sure take care of the drought in a lot of places down here.

Likely both unexpected and unlikely.
Thanks for the ping, Grig.
Forward ping.

Yeah, just saw your email 60 seconds too late.
The beer supply in Canada must be stunning..
So Hockey is quite a PI**ER in Canada!
Is that the conclusion of this phenominal study?
Didn’t we already know that? Witness the Ladies Room Lines
between each act of a Play or a Concert break?
OBOZO probably spent $100 Billion of Our Money on
this study of Canadian Peeing habits!
I was gonna say....a brown glacier would retake much of the Northern US...
ROFL! What a shock.
Detroit would be gone?

What If Everybody in Canada Flushed At Once?
“
And what if too few people flush?
That’s a reference to an article that I saw maybe five years ago
about sanitation problems in what used to be East Germany.
With the mass population flight to West Germany, some areas
of the former East Germany have been substantially depopulated...
and sewer lines don’t get the planned fluid volume to push all the
human excremental material down the sewer lines.
I’m not a sanitation engineer, but the story at least had...
“the ring of truth”.
If not the floral bouquet.
;-)
Something like this was published about forty years ago. The water pressure dropped each time a commercial came on the tv.
What if everybody in canada flushed at once?
Isnt that what created Niagra Falls?
In sewer design, we call it the ‘super bowl flush’ No kidding.
