Was wondering how our Canadian govnt was able to announce yesterday we would have more Pfizer vaccines shipped to us, when it seemed we may be lower on the customer priority list since we are talking a significantly smaller order than the US or UK would put in. (Population numbers game). Sorry for your loss but will…

Same difference since it was the territorial army. We weren’t a distinct country from Britain until 55 years later, so generally it’s equivalent. Still sucks to have your shiny capital burned compared to a backwater hog town.

LOL Loons are pulling a war of 1812 on your butts! Go loons! 🇨🇦 First that eagle, then we burn down the White House again.

Without knowing what his answer was, My first guess would have been napkins. Now I’m wishing he’d gone with my choice for him. At least it’s practical and you’re thinking about what your host may need extras of. I loathe the people who bring chips to a potluck. It’s the lazy persons choice.

As a Canadian who absolutely loves my long puffy Eddie Bauer coat, I 100% agree with this. As a teen I tried to look cute with pea coats but now I realize that commuting is hell and winters where it hits -35C with wind some days means the function has to become the fashion.

God, I got that book as a gift to do book club and couldn’t make it past the first 4 chapters.

This BE song makes me batshit crazy. I can’t even escape it by listening only to the alternative station. When it comes on at the gym I have the same reaction as I do to Ed Sheehan, which is to scream internally at the trite bullshit of it. Every time it comes on I think my radio is busted because I can barely make…

When they make them barstool height it’s even worse. Sometimes they have no back so you’re forced to slouch forward and almost always they don’t have a footrest, which means everyone of average height or shorter loses their circulation in their legs while also getting a very numb bum. (Hehe numb bum).

And this is why internet piracy will be back up and why I will never get rid of my DVDs.

Jesus America! You can’t even release a redacted report properly! I do this for the government in my country (posting stuff on a gov website I mean) as my job. Not only would we have had to redact it properly in Adobe, but we’d also have to convert it to HTML for accessibility by people with disabilities. I don’t…

I did the exact same thing at your age, and now I’m 30 and I do still live at home. Honestly, for a long time I kept feeling like I had to justify my situation to anyone and everyone. But I’ve been able to find a stable career that I like and I’m well ahead of the curve and have enough money for a down payment on the…

Quite frankly the only reason I saw this was that I watch pretty much every period piece that comes out, particularly if it’s British. There was hardly any advertising in my town, but it got played at both reperatory cinemas and at one major chain that saves a couple screens for smaller films.

Voting for Riders, The Witching Hour, and following the lead of another, something by Bertrice Small.

Some of the pipeline decisions have to be made within the existing legal framework which is a hold0ver from Harper days. Not to mention, there are some public servants over at NRCan with a hard on for pipelines giving advice. I work in the environment portfolio, things aren’t as simple as they seem for some of the…

Also, as someone else pointed out, he’s a working cat. I doubt anyone would have objected to this guy bringing in his working dog. People weren’t pleased that he wanted to bring in his pet and compare it to a working animal when he didn’t get his way.

Not that I know anything about the town’s history, but couldn’t it just mean that the White family settled the area? (Which granted was probably already settled by First Nations.) Eg. the area where my boss’ family farm is located when you look it up on google is known as the Chapman Settlement, because his family…

It also looks too small to be a turkey. Large chicken maybe, but a real turkey usually fills one of those el cheapo roasting pans. Also shouldn’t she have enough money to have a proper roasting pan?

I will only go to the basilica for confession now because it’s old and still has the dark booths. You even have to kneel facing the opposite direction. Doing it face-to-face at my parish church was traumatizing. Not that I do it often, but I do try to go before the high holidays.

I don’t know what this is from but FUUUUCCCKKK. Reminds me of the priest who was my mentor when I was doing RCIA.

There is something to be said for the small dark booth. Had to do it face-to-face once in the priests office because our church decided to do it by appt one year before Christmas. Scared me right off, so now when the mood strikes and I can remember enough shitty things I go to the basilica near my office at lunch. I…
