For some reason Canada likes to have giant statues of local things, things such as apples in Ontario's apple country, a cowboy in Alberta (predictably), the town of Dildo in Newfoundland has a whale, (disappointingly (and don't google that one on a shared computer)) Mattice in Northern Ontario has a voyageur (historically), and Campbellford has a Toonie. A toonie is a $2 coin and Campbellford has a giant one because Brent Townsend, the artist who designed it lives in the town.
Did you know that Canada is the only place where the Queen has a bare behind??
The Queen is on the front of the coin and a polar bear is on the obverse.

Canada just seems so cool to me...or wait is it because YOUR in it? Ha.
have you see the huge Ukrainian Easter Egg in Vegreville, Alberta
A bare behind .... titter!
I've never seen that cowboy in Airdrie - he's a rather lanky fella - wonder if he's a (well hidden) permanent fixture that I've just by-passed while concentrating on one of those exicting dead-straight roads out there?!
Bare behind... ha!
I didn't know there was a giant toonie...
