We’re actually pretty good at shaming people who aren’t Canadian and actually notorious poor at shaming ourselves. We should really self-shame more - there’s a lot going on that’s “right” up here but a lot that’s wrong. Wuh wuhhhh... :(
That said - overall we are definitely in disbelief of what’s happening to the…

I just couldn’t do it. Hats of to you! I think there are absolutely amazing things happening in the public library systems and my colleagues generally love the work they do, but people can really spoil it. I spent some time as an an academic librarian and our libraries were open to the public - we saw our fair share…

Librarian here. Not a public librarian by any means (I’m just not that good natured!) but I have many colleagues in the public library system and this is true. So very true. That said - a lot of rural libraries are equally as bonkers.

Yup. Port wine stain. It’s visible in most of the other photos of her where her legs are exposed. My toddler has one on the back of her neck. It’s so nice to see what she has to look forward to when people start commenting when she’s older... *sigh*

Oh the Raabids games on the Wii were quite popular. You’re definitely thinking of the right title there. I have both of them, they are honestly great party games - nothing to learn with corny scenarios and some suggestive hand motions. They are particularly fun with a good group and some beer/wine. I can see them…

This. Because you also rest your burger and then you don’t get extra soggy buns due to excessive run off juice. Never put your freshly cooked burger right onto a bun...

Orca!? Fancy... Ravenclaw with an Otter here.

Yes I noticed that and corrected myself later.

Definitely important points. I rarely comment as well (I’m pretty sure I mostly come out of lurking just for Canadian articles, haha) but was looking to post this and was glad someone did.

Ah right, not prison. Regardless, he is fully out now - just looking it up because I was curious. Model patient - responding very very well and continuing treatment.

This. On both points.

It was 9-10 years ago I believe. The man who beheaded the victim was actually recently released from prison. It was a pretty big-ish deal in the news. He was not being treated for his schizophrenia when it happened and IIRC was not held criminally responsible. I think most people had some trepidation about buses when…

Totally impossible. I feel like a few years ago when tiny houses were just starting to be a thing people were legitimately just building tiny houses on nice plots of land. No intent to move the house, just didn’t want a big space, wanted eco-this or eco-that. But now every tiny house is really just a tiny trailer -…

I hadn’t checked it out yet but was planning on it! The original production is soooo good... From the previews I didn’t think it was going to hold muster to the old one, but I’m glad to have that confirmed. Also, I saw this headline and was like “Netflix, what? - hasn’t that been on CBC for a few weeks now?”

Oh we know...

I told parents, siblings and my best friend at 8 weeks and then waited until I was 13 or so along for most others... We never “announced”. But really, it’s up to you! Do what you feel comfortable with.

Came here to post this - good thing I checked!
That said... I fucking love that she she just don’t care!

Haha... really? Native Torontonian and I totally could not see that shit happening any more here than anywhere else...

The typo... made me laugh. Star for you.

True enough!
