He's the Nova Scotia groundhog forecaster ... about half an hour's drive from here - from here in (not surprisingly!) Shubenacadie - he makes his prediction accompanied by a kilted piper ...
Emails to the local TV station thise morning were suggesting the prediction was rigged, since the door to his "house" was closed and he couldn't get back in even if he wanted to .. LOL
The most famous Canadian groundhog is Wiarton Willy - he's an albino - but apparentlty there are others. Manitoba I believe has Manitoba Merv ...
