If you happen to be interested in small Canadian towns whose tourism marketing consists mainly of “fantastic and awe inspiring monuments,” then we have a Web site for you: BigThings.ca. The site features 274 such statues, including “Squirt” the skunk, who is the official mascot of Beiseker, Alberta. Beiseker, which has a pretty cool Flash Web site for a tiny town, draws visitors with the motto, “It makes scents to stop in Beiseker.”
