Edmonton, Alberta has if not necessarily the “best” drivers, than at least the “friendliest”—routinely slowing down to let pedestrians cross, giving space to cyclists, pausing to help people in distress, etc. Of course, if you lived in a snowbound hellhole for 8 months of the year and only had the Oilers as your…

canadian, but close enough

Honest question: were 22-year-olds EVER desirable people to work with? Isn’t everyone, regardless of generation, kind of a shithead straight out of university?

i’m no doctor, but those players rushing to touch a dude’s head just after he’s clearly suffered a head/neck injury should... not do that.

I got a dachshund because my in-law’s parents’ dachshund had a litter, and she was free.

dachshunds are known to live forever. they are also cantankerous from the moment they are birthed until the second they die. they will kill squirrels for fun and bark at anything that moves within 5 feet of your property.

that or merbie mancock

you islanders really need to get over the fact that you hosted some drunk guys for a week to create a country that was, like, 100% stolen land at the time

spot on, the people hit hardest by this are (renters, probably without renters’ insurance) from down east who have nothing back home in NS/NFLD and now have nothing in Fort Mac.

pei isn’t a province, it’s an accident of confederation

canadians bitching about not getting enough international attention for x reason is about as canadian as stealing half a continent or terrible coffee.

just chiming in, giri, to express how much I like your writing—subject matter, tone, whatever. you’ve got a knack for turning the drudgery of everyday life into something resembling prose without turning it into overly floral, navel-gazing gobbledygook. good stuff.

Nice for calling out the media world’s considerable substance abuse issues. I doubt there are numbers for these sorts of things, but in all the various workplaces I’ve been in (grocery stores, ad agencies, government offices, digital media, newspapers, record stores), the media ones had by FAR the most alcoholics and…

that is exactly what i heard. expecting this to be sampled by a boston-area rapper in +/- 2.5 weeks

I was 15, summer between gr 9 and 10 (“rising sophomore” as you yanks say). went to a good friend’s place for a sleepover with another bud, both of whom were far more advanced in their marijuana consumption than me. parents went to bed, we smoked two joints, and played tony hawk pro skater on the OG PS for the next 8…

all lists incomplete without zarley zalapski

I had a ‘90 Legend up until this winter, but most of my ownership of the car took place on the West Coast. There’s quite a few of these (well, the automatic versions, at least) still kicking around Vancouver Island in fantastic shape (and for great prices, usually).

aw, man, what a beautiful car. I had a ‘90 Legend (leather interior and automatic, alas) that lasted up until this winter. I’m not much of a car guy or anything but goddamn, I’ve never driven something that could do the passing maneuver so smoothly, so seamlessly, so sexily as I did in the Legend. Plus, it always got…

Saddened to not see Pemberton on here, which is probably big enough to compete with all the others + a nicely “buzzy” lineup—and, after Sasquatch, the coolest fucking grounds of any of these places (way up in the BC mountains)
