Olympic rings floating in the harbour and plastered on signage all over town, you'd expect many Vancouver residents would be about ready to ring off -- until this week. Suddenly another ring has emerged to capture the hearts of people across the country. It's the hottest page on Facebook: Can This Onion Ring Get More Fans Than Stephen Harper? The answer: Yes it can. And quicker than you can say "Pass me that breath mint."

By Wednesday evening it had passed 8,000 fans; at times, totals were mounting at the rate of hundreds per minute. By Thursday afternoon PST, the onion ring had acquired more than 29,800 fans and surpassed the Prime Minister's fan totals. As one poster put it: "Stephen Harper will be playing ketchup."
