O, Canada - all your canuck news worth sharing!

Pecans OR nothing.
IE: NEVER FUCKING RAISINS

And a buttertart =/= pecan pie.

Here’s a thing I don’t understand. Why can I buy frozen pie shells in 'Murica but not froze tart shells? Do y’all just not make tart versions of anything? Cuz thats just weird…

Just in general… any food available anywhere is just part of the ongoing process of globalisation.

I love how some foods are nigh-impossible to get anywhere except where they’re from.

Buttertarts are OURS dammit!
Don’t tell them!! They already got sugar pie and shooflie pie and what have you!
They don’t need to know everything!
(Cuz you know they’re just gonna ruin it! Make it supersize or made with margarine!)

I mean, have you seen what New Jersey calls “poutine”?

Do we really want it? It’s part of American culture, let them have it, as long as they pay the littering fines and storage fees.

Abomination!

You and I both know that Tenderflake frozen tart shells are fine!

Wait, letting Americans steal all the cardboard-crusted, foul-flavoured petite pastries is an option? I’m all for it!

Well, I do. I like my butter tarts with or without. However…

Pecans? PECANS?!

A butter tart is not a miniature pecan pie. How American can you get? I’m calling MissyPants’s Canadian credentials into question here… :stuck_out_tongue:

You hate maple syrup. Your own credentials are more in question than hers.

Nonsense. A sense of self-preservation is perfectly consistent with Canadian values. Maple surple is a diabetic coma waiting to happen.

Indeed. I’ve reported her to the CRTC* for insufficient Canadian content.

*(Canadian Raisin Tart Commission)

Any true Canadian would consider that an acceptable tradeoff.

Meanwhile in Newfoundland…

Ah. I was pronouncing that wrong.

It’s “B’ys” as in “I’s the b’y that builds the boat.”

That makes so much more sense now.

On the one hand, sounds like some good points were raised. On the other hand, I don’t like the idea that Indigenous women with long hair must never ever wear turquoise jewellery with a beige top lest they cause outrage.

And they were her own damn clothes too! They didn’t dress her, she dressed herself! Do dumb!

I’m not on FB, but I thought get comments about how her culture deals with controversy (as opposed to what was happening on-line) were interesting.

It reminds me a bit of when people freaked out that Kristoff from Frozen was a blonde, apparently not realising that indigenous people from 19th century Scandinavia often were blonde. That is, the people doing the loudest freak-outs are not from the culture being depicted.
