If you're in search of a remedy for boredom, you won't find it here.

Nor will you find it in Ottawa, apparently, as it was dubbed the most boring city in Canada last night at the inaugural Boring Awards in Toronto, where excitement was the least welcome guest at the party.

In fact, the organizers of Boring Awards say they nearly cancelled the ceremony entirely after a spate of intriguing news events unbefitting of our home and boring land.

From a Senate scandal to allegations of a crack-smoking Toronto mayor, Canada suddenly became interesting this week, which was terrible news for the event organizers, who said in a release the excitement was "a disaster" for them.

But much like Canada itself, it seems that in the end, the Boring Awards proved reliable and without much incident.
