It is the August long weekend and we are off to cottage country to see if there are any peach pies to be purchased, dangle our toes from the dock and luxuriate in the simmering heat of our fading Canadian summer. We will be back with the newsletter on Wednesday, August 8 and count on us to update the website should there be any breaking news.

From the FYI team to our readers, take care, enjoy the weekend and see you on hump day next week.

Cheers

Angine de Poitrine-Inspired Halloween Costume Pulled from Shelves

The costumes resembling the viral Quebec math rock band's likeness have been pulled from sale in physical stores and online after appearing on Party Expert as "Polka Dot Attack" retailing for $105 CAD.

Angine de Poitrine is sure to be a hot Halloween costume this year, but unlicensed costumes have been pulled from the shelves at one Halloween store.

Costume and party supplies retailer Party Expert has pulled a pair of Halloween costumes from its website featuring the likeness of both members, after listing their polka-dotted jumpsuits and signature masks as individual pieces under the prefix "Polka Dot Attack" last week.
