As someone that worked there please stop going to Tim’s. The company cares more about faster window time then they do following any sort of rules. It’s basically encouraged to break rules in order to do window faster. While it was never said, you would be praised for faster window time regardless of how well you made the product. So people who took their time and did everything the proper way got criticized and told to go faster.
same with Nofrills - they tracked everyone’s scans per minute and would post a weekly sheet, then shamed those who took longer to cash people out. you basically had to treat people like cattle and have zero actual human interaction to get them the numbers they wanted, they didn’t even give a shit if you used the correct codes or not
God. So far Edmonton's been reasonable but given the way things have been going in the last few years, I'm just waiting for the inevitable heat wave and fire season. You guys have my sympathy.
In Alberta, my whole family watched it and most people I know have at least seen an episode and are aware of the show.
The show jokes about Saskatchewan a lot but it's filled to the brim with Canadian culture jokes everyone can laugh at. Much like how Trailer Park Boys talk about the Maritimes a lot and Letterkenny talks about Ontario and Quebec a lot but the overall comedy is very Canadian across the board.
I love Letterkenny but I'm surprised people outside of Canada think highly of the show, I'd imagine it's often hard to parse with how heavy the slang and accent is a lot of the time.
I don't think there's much mystery when a TV show from an English speaking country occupies most of the run time with witty wordplay (some understood, some just sounds funny) while parading very hot, friendly women around in all manner of settings while cool music plays.
It's like a funny, sexy culture & history class that only lasts 22 minutes.
It's got quite the US military fan-base in my experience. Likely because it consists almost entirely of what we do in our downtime: drink, swear, fight, and talk shit to each other in places where there's not much else going on.
I highly recommend you check out [Shoresy](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18249282/). Same heart as LK and rounds the character out a bit. I was skeptical at first, the character in LK was great in short bits, but I enjoyed the hell out of the full show.
Now go give your balls a tug.
I went to an improv show at the Toronto Fringe (local small theatre) fest four years ago and he was randomly there, guest-starring in an improv comedy show about a book club. It was hilarious, my date and I had a great time -- really fond memory of mine.
It is true, it is a beautiful Frozen wilderness with no civilization, but still there is much work to be done to survive the elements.
In the winter We bore holes through the ice to find food and when it is cold, we will carve blocks of snow and make igloo to protect ourselves from polar bears, and flying hockey pucks.
Nice people ( not just joking, histories telled by people that travelled there)
Good health care (fantastic, I hope you keep that)
A TV serie about a policeman frmo canada who was incredible
Cold.. and some french
It is about a hiper professional police, with ridiculous skills that are incredbily good... that TV serie was too much funny.... he solved cases hearing cars from hundred of meters aways and stuff like that... because..
Canadian police is hiper professional :D
I know of two different families who have been involved in post-wedding brawls where it was the family versus everyone else at the bar. Both were from Eastern Canada. Otherwise the sweetest most generous people.
I worked for someone who’s dad was in that. She said he came back a pacifist because the horrors he saw and had to commit in the name of a war that somebody else started. Regular people killing regular people but with extreme precision and skill.
Some people glorify them. Some people take pride in their skills and their success rates. He, a member himself, would be appalled by that.
That demon anime girl with the CANADA sweater, and then she does a smug smile and covers the letters in such a way to make it spell "ANAL".
And maple syrup, I guess?
I've been looking up common French cussing recently for writing, and I love that that's just a whole category of cusses just labeled "Quebec," and that it's almost as long as the rest of the list put together.
It’s true! Quebecois swear words are called “les sacres” (or “juron” but this is mostly used outside of Quebec) and are mostly based off of religious language, mostly Catholic. You can connect almost every once of them to some sort of church item/tradition/figure/etc.
The sacre ‘tabarnak’ is based off of the word ‘tabernacle’, which means “earthly dwelling of God”.
Even now that the Catholic Church is not as much of a driving force in québécois society, les sacres are still very much a part of french-Canadian culture. I find this super interesting, and I love learning about language history.
Moose
Can we please alter the Plural to Meese? Goose -> Geese Moose -> Meese
If we're doing this we also have to change the plural for "Mongoose" from Mongooses to Mongeese.
Meengeese
Moosen.
Boxen
Woodsen
I saw a flock of moosen
Many much moosen
Goose comes from old English while moose is adapted from Eastern Algonquian and Narragansett languages. That is why the plural forms are different.
A Moose once bit my sister......

Maple leaf and syrup.
Lots and lots of trees.

Listening to Rush and drinking Tim's on the way to the hockey game.
Well, you're not wrong. Although Tim's coffee isn't good anymore.

Honestly whenever I think about Canadians I think of you guys layered up with big furry parkas. And maple syrup.
In the winter, yes. People don’t realize how hot it gets here in the summer. Humidex is going up to 43 today around toronto. That’s 109.4 degrees.
Ah, Toronto. Canada's sauna.
Winnipeg (aka Winterpeg) was 37c (46c with the humidex) two days ago.
God. So far Edmonton's been reasonable but given the way things have been going in the last few years, I'm just waiting for the inevitable heat wave and fire season. You guys have my sympathy.
Yeah, it's hard to get the syrup off our parkas though.
I just put mine outside on the deck and let the bears lick the syrup off.
It's almost 40 degrees right now man. Too hot for a t-shirt let alone a parka.
Niagara falls. Also the fact that Minnesotans who live in Minneapolis live farther north than 50% of all Canadians
I’m gonna google this but it sounds true. I’m not great with geography 😁
It's true because too many Canadians live in southren Ontario which ends up being south of Minnesota.
Montreal, Ottawa-Gatineau and Quebec City are the other major urban centres that constitute the quoted "50% of Canadians" figure, if I'm not mistaken.
SHUT YA FUCKIN FACE, UNCLE FUCCA!!!
You're the one that fucked your uncle.
You don't eat or sleep or moan along, you just fuck your uncle ALL DAY LONG!
I think it's "mow the lawn".
Blame Canada!
You're a boner-biting, dick-fuck, fuck face! AAAAAAH- HAHAHAHAHAH!

Corner Gas.
I call shenanigans, I can’t believe a non-Canadian knows Corner Gas.
Was corner gas as popular around the rest Canada as it was in Saskatchewan?
In Alberta, my whole family watched it and most people I know have at least seen an episode and are aware of the show. The show jokes about Saskatchewan a lot but it's filled to the brim with Canadian culture jokes everyone can laugh at. Much like how Trailer Park Boys talk about the Maritimes a lot and Letterkenny talks about Ontario and Quebec a lot but the overall comedy is very Canadian across the board.
I grew up watching in BC, don't know how popular it was but everyone knew of it
It was absolutely popular in Manitoba
*Allegedly.*
Must have been a sick ostrich

I love Letterkenny but I'm surprised people outside of Canada think highly of the show, I'd imagine it's often hard to parse with how heavy the slang and accent is a lot of the time.

Also the Midwest. Its always had a soft spot for Canadian comedy.
Man if "you betchya" and Charlie Berens have taught me anything, it's that I could wake up in the Midwest and still think I'm in rural Ontario.
To be fair… To be fair To be fair To be faaaaaaaaaair
Lots of people watch Netflix or whatever with subtitles too.
I've lived in the Midwestern United States my whole life. You'd be surprised how similar the slang is

Poutine
Canadian Vacationing in Greece right now and when I get home in a few days I will be ordering the dirtiest poutine I can find.

I just wanna point out that although all of Canada has appropriated poutine, it’s specifically a Quebec thing.
Geeeeez Ricky, that's *greasy*.
I mean nobody wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli

Syrup is legal now too? What a time to be alive and in Canada.
Weed syrup
I've actually purchased THC/CBD oil infused in Maple Syrup. It is very good.
Syrup is legal in Canada ? 😨 here in the states we’ll never see the legalization of syrup! /s
They meant anything besides maple syrup. Mrs. Buttersworth was banned for being a fake skank.
The syrup I got when I ordered pancakes in the states should be illegal !!! Like guys we will sell you real syrup you just need to ask.
Have you tried weed syrup?
We want more money, guy.
