We are missing canonical URLs on specific post links eg
```plaintext
http://www.helloforos.com/t/chic-s-me-llego-la-inspiracion-hallowinesca-y-me-fui-de-compras/20920/18
```
This has regressed and is hurting google juice.

Well it is not quite this bad, it has been completely broken for the entire 1.4 cycle, somehow, magical Rails pixies made this broken code work up until the pixies were removed on a certain Rails upgrade…
Anyway
Fixed now and tested, so pixies do not break it again:
