Or perhaps you'd prefer the sangria and chocolate flavoured ones?
It's a lifestyle change. I had friends move there from Sudbury (different direction and Sudbury is smaller, but it may be helpful). They say the social difference is the thing you have to work on most. You have to get involved with the clubs and groups. Because the winters are long, people tend to stay in their houses more and so, if you don't get involved, you feel cut off. The summer tourists also take a bit of getting used to. It's not as bad as some places. I moved from S. Ontario to Sudbury. I totally love it. Never going back. I endure the winter by traveling and (again) getting involved in the community. The summers make up for it. 330 lakes in the city. Not too hot. The "rush hour" is laughable compared to TO.
The remote Heard and McDonald Islands haven't been visited by humans in almost a decade.
Heard Island and McDonald Island, two Antarctic outposts, are on the list of places that Trump is putting tariffs on. No human has even visited the islands in a decade. There are only penguins and elephant seals.
Syria also has sanctions, has less trade with the U.S. than Russia and is on the list.
US media quotes the White House press secretary as saying this is because of sanctions on Moscow.
Russia was not included in the countries hit by Trump's tariff. The press secretary say it's because previous sanction "preclude any meaningful trade," but other countries that do even less trade, such as Syria, were on the list.
Yeah, it's a no win. Either NATO becomes ineffective because it won't honour it's agreement or WW3 starts.
Kind of like Czechoslovakia in WW2.
Another interesting thing I noticed is that when traveling Americans are asked where they're from, they'll say their state rather than their country. I wonder why.
I'm not sure they realize how different it is. I think even the Democrats would find it too liberal.
Yeah. I found that weird. I was there for a month last year. They seem to hold no animosity for the atomic bombs. Vietnam keeps the war memory fresh and many times, we made sure people knew we were Canadian because they do not like Americans.
I see that Canada's EV car, the Arrow 2.0 is showing at a global trade fair in Germany. The prototype has been around for a couple of years. Is it any closer to the production phase?
We just got back from 7 weeks in Europe and I was really sorry we hadn't put on any Canadian tags on our backpacks or clothes. People (Canadians included) are hesitant to talk to you and they treat you with caution or hostility until they find out you're Canadian.
That's all the reason Trump would need to invade Canada.
It's so weird. They trash talk Quebec all the time and yet they want to be like them.
Or she wasn't allowed in the room but had to watch the meeting from a tv in her hotel.

Vive le Quebec. Go get 'em.
For any cross country skiiers out there, both the skate ski and classic tracks are in great condition, at least at Naughton trails.
Why are libraries selling books? Is it possible somebody mistranslated the word librairie (meaning bookstore in French) as library?
Well, he united Canada as it's never been united before, inspired a wave of Canadian patriotism, caused the rest of the world to shower us with support, raised the Liberal Party from its death bed, and now he's helping to solve our health care problems. Trump is amazing. (tic)
But pay a lot less in insurance also. Plus a lot fewer lawsuit hassles.
Too bad. Trevor Noah's gig was unforgettable.
Greetings. I saw this on a post on Reddit and decided to give it a try. Northern Ontarian who is into photography, writing, traveling, spending time at camp, biking, skate skiing, guitar, carpentry, and gardening. One question: Are there any unspoken rules about posting/responding on Lemmy?
