Now that I have pro forma out of the way, what, in Canadian parlance, is a "Grit?" (wiseguys don't need to post pics of hominy -- I will take it as having been done).

A "grit" in Canada is a Liberal.

Old term dating back to first half of 19th century when reformers called "clear grits" rose in Ontario.

Clear grit was the best sand for making bricks.
