What The Fur (WTF?) is a convention that was first held 4-6 June 2010 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

[edit] Origins
WTF? Was started as a response to the lacking of a major furry convention in either Eastern Ontario or Western Quebec, following the demise of both C-ACE and Anthrofest. The local montreal communities of both MonFur and Francofur felt that the time was right to plan and hold a convention in the city of Montreal.
The name for the convention, What The Fur, was conceived over dinner when the core staff were trying to find a name that did not contain the words Anthro, Furry, or Fur.
At the MonFur Xmas party in December 2008 it was officially announced that the convention was a go, and that montreal would once again have a full fledged Furry Convention.
[edit] History
What The Fur 2010 took place on June 4-6, 2010 at the Espresso Hotel (Formerly the Days Hotel), attracting 232 attendees. The guests of honour were Max Blackrabbit and gNAW, and the convention held the theme of "Pirates vs. Ninjas".
What The Fur 2011 happened from June 3 to 5, 2011, returning to the Espresso Hotel. The Guests of Honour were Kalika Tybera and Demicoeur. The theme was "Zombie Apocalypse: Night of the Furry Dead"
What The Fur 2012 was held on the first weekend of June (1st to 3rd), and returned to the Hotel Espresso once again. The Guest of Honour was Karine "Kanthara" Charlebois, and the theme was Creatures of the Night.
