Weird Canadian Shit

Unabashed hypocrisy.

Guy in the green tie at 1:00 in the OP is straight up just speaking English.

How many American politicians butcher Spanish?

So which English speaking politician speaks the best french?

Those Frenchies need to secede. They're the French tail wagging the Canadian dog.

Canada's Covid stats would be much better without Quebec. Try distinguishing your society in more healthful ways.

Oh yeah, there is Trudeau and his blackface habit.

There's a town in Ontario who convinced themselves in the 90s that a tornado had hit a drive-in movie during a showing of Twister- and had ripped through the screen right when the twister touches down in the movie!

It didn't actually happen, but the fact that the whole town somehow agreed that it did is both charming and strange as hell.

I'm more embarrassing than a Prime Minister in blackface.

The only thing that stands out to me about Canada is the french fries, cheese and gravy. I just can't wrap my head around it. Fries w/ranch yes, fries w/gravy maybe, fries with cheese sure, and add bacon! But I can't imagine fries with cheese and gravy.

I understand though how some American food seems weird. PBJ sandwiches are weird, but so good to me.

Canadians have Canadian Thanksgiving, celebrated almost two months apart from American Thanksgiving. Both holidays are made up.

Hmm, I guess Canada really is boring.

They way they say “soorry” and “aboot”.

Milk bags. Toronto has them.

Milk bags

I knew a Canadian family growing up (in the U.S.) who ate raw sliced tomato on the side of every meal I ever ate at their house.

That's weird. They were also of Eastern European extraction, so maybe it's a weird slavic thing. Idk.

Gasoline by the liter.

Loonies and toonies.

Simultaneous Substitution (“simsub”)

R18 I'd eat raw sliced tomatoes with every meal except their seasonal where I live.

R18 Are you Canadian?

r17, yeah, I totally forgot about simsub. It only bothered me during NFL Super Bowl broadcasts. All the network, multimillion dollar commercials were replaced with local market advertising. At least that was the case in the Canadian podunk I was living in at the time. This was before you could watch all the Superbowl ads online, so it was annoying.

R20 wow, that would definitely be weird.

I think it’s a Maritimes thing. I can remember visiting grandparents in New Brunswick and that was common, also sliced cucumbers with a dash on vinegar on them.
