Yes, apparently we have one. After all, they even have a conference!

Tattoo Rock Parlour on Toronto’s Queen West is going to be crawling with older women looking for fresh young meat Friday night with one lone woman hoping to be crowned Miss Cougar Canada at the end of the evening.

“We did the first Cougar Convention in Silicon Valley last August and we had a massive crowd and turned away hundreds of people,” said organizer Rich Gosse of Cougarevents.com. “The cougar phenomenon began in Canada, so we’ve always wanted to go to Toronto.”

A “cougar” by its bare bones definition is an older woman who is on the hunt for younger men with no strings attached.

Here are the rules: Anyone 35 and older and legally single can compete for the Miss Cougar Canada Title. Everyone pays their $20 to get into the club and it’s up to the cougars to woo the cubs — the younger men — to vote for them by working the room.

Yes, even the lowest of low on this earth have “rules” at their gatherings. I’m not opposed to relationships with an age difference, to each his own. However, I’m a little skeptical about the notion of paying $20 to go to a club to have 40-somethings flirting with you to get your vote. It’s not an NDP convention…
