That’s true, I did roll sushi right eventually! Though since I don’t make sushi often, the first (and sometimes second) roll turns out not good before the muscle memory kicks in.

I also Appreciate the tip, kind stranger!

The European chocolates would be specifically earmarked for Canada, so the US can keep their chocolate to themselves.

As a Canadian, I’d much prefer chocolate from local chocolatiers, though European chocolates are also a delightful treat.

This is a little too relatable, and how I felt the first few times I made sushi 😅

Don’t forget that company does fuck all in advertising the small phone at a similar level as the “regular sized” phone

It also used to be commonplace to have a physical home button below the screen on a number of flagship devices, along with the camera being positioned separate from the screen.

I feel like that could bring us closer to a modern equivalent of 6” screens in the same body

That’ll yield the opposite outcome when one of the top complaints from homeowners is their property taxes and how they should remain frozen or cut for the rest of time

You need both ideally, especially since real estate developers tend to stall or shelve housing projects if they feel like they’ll get less of a return on investment and wait until prices go up again before doing anything

Also can’t forget the teasing and ridicule from family members when you’re not as fluent in their native language

It’s way more likely that he’d roll out the welcome mat for the states instead

Canada joining the EU would be great, assuming we don’t end up with lil pp in the next election.

Don’t forget the convenience charge, then there’s a booking fee, as well as payment processing fee to top it off

We haven’t burned coal in well over a decade.

That’s one way to turn people off from using Canada Post, while the competition offers 7-days/week deliveries, even some doing late night/early morning deliveries with some Amazon couriers.

I believe the issue would lie with the pressure for government procurements to always go for the lowest cost bidder possible, which would be more difficult for local and Canada-first companies to compete.

While I believe that procurements should strongly prefer local/Canada-first companies, it would come at a price and provide an opportunity for one political party to cry foul over “wasteful government spending”.

The bagel dog sounds amazing, but I also do love everything bagels

Iirc, there was also a majorly catastrophic weather event ripping through the majority of prime farmland around the start of the Great Depression that caused tons and tons of crops to fail as a result, which would’ve made access to food scarce and likely more expensive.

I believe it was The great dust bowl that happened around 1934/1935, but I’d have to double check

Unless the products are made in the US, wouldn’t there be no tariffs for products made elsewhere?

In any case, it doesn’t make sense for things not made in Canada to be mislabeled as such

I feel a preemptive pain when I receive a message, almost as if I’m going to get yelled at for taking too long to reply or for not fully understanding the message from every contextual angle possible to understand a hidden meaning that I’m supposed to infer from, or for expressing the wrong emotion/tone.

It even happens when I just see the message notification

Welp
