Forget Snakes and Ladders. Let's play Pandas and Pipelines with Rick Mercer!

In these economically and environmentally troubling times, what could be more distracting family-bonding than a wholesome Canadian board game?

Hey kids, tell your parents you no longer want to play Snakes and Ladders and get them to buy the more quality-time-worthy Pandas and Pipelines! YAY!

Everyone else is doing it. (Even Rick Mercer's family is.) Why shouldn't you?
