That’s just what we want you think. We keep the actual shield buried in a bunker underneath a Canadian Tire in Sudbury. Keep it close though.

Shhh. Don't tell them about the Diefenbunker.
It cost us a ginormous 5-cent coin to put it there.
Don't tell them about the secret dinosaur elevator.
The article says it is a classical example of a deranged drainage system, which seems quite appropriate for a country that calls some of its money loonies.
The shield was a mountain range at one point, but has been worn down to what you see today. Some of the oldest rocks in the world are found in the shield (circa 4.3 bn years old)
