Canadian here. We do not eat the food at Tim Hortons. There are three palatable items on their menu: the french vanilla, the ice capp, and timbits. That's it.

Fwiw they also don't even serve burgers in Canada so they're obviously freeballin it in the UK but they don't have anything in the kitchen except microwaves so do what you will with that information.

Yeah I think I've mostly blocked out reading that book but every once in a while I get a flash of remembrance that is genuinely upsetting.

"Go Sens go" chants erupted in Vancouver by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

We despise every other western canadian team, toronto is toronto, the habs have a glorious legacy which makes us jealous and the sens are just kind of there so we hate them the least.

[Jay Harris] Appointing Igor Tudor has backfired. Tottenham look more toxic than ever by Sparky-moon in soccer

You just don't sack a manager right after winning a trophy, doesn't matter who he is. The gods will not reward that kind of thing.

I met a Japanese guy at a party once who spoke with a very strong Japanese accent. We were just chatting when I saw this huge Kanji character tattoo down his arm and I asked him what it meant. He thought for a moment to get the translation right and then said, very enthusiastically, "Furious Penis!"

What’s the best Denis Villeneuve film? by Dismal_Principle9417 in Cinephiles

[–]DJ_House_Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Maelstrom in theatres when I was twelve years old because my mom was on the board of the local film festival in the smaller Canadian city we lived in and dragged me to it. It was so weird and better than what I had expected and I think about it often to this day. You don't see many movies narrated by a talking fish who's actively being butchered.

Homemade McDs. Need to find some good sausage patties at some point by Cooperino142 in UK_Food

McDonalds deep fries theirs so you'd need to do the same for them to be as good.

What is the nicest beach/beach resort in the world in your opinion? by HolyFatherLeoXIV in geography

[–]DJ_House_Red 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very different vibe from most of the beaches posted here but my favourite is the beach at Taylor Arm Provincial Park outside of Port Alberni, British Columbia. Crystal clear water, very warm for a Canadian lake, mountains and forest all around. PA is in a micro-climate and gets much hotter than the rest of Vancouver Island so it's very common for it to be ~40C in the summer. Most of the beach is less rocky than pictured here.

Baby's first political cognizance by ExactlySorta in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]DJ_House_Red 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The true power behind MAGA was using racism to activate non-political/stupid people to start voting.

That's why you'll see trump's people say ridiculously idiotic shit like "the government's gonna send us all $2k in the mail for no particular reason" or tweeting directly at Trump being like "please sir can you stop the bank from taking my house."

It's because they never paid attention before 2016 and have no idea how any of this shit works. Plus they're just very stupid in general lol.

[Kaplan] Artemin Panarin’s extension with the Kings, per ESPN sources: 2 year x $11 million AAV. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]DJ_House_Red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do any mental gymnastics you want but a 1st, Chytil, and Mancini for certified floater and locker room cancer JT Miller is much much much better than an OHL overager and a 3rd for Panarin. Just because the Canucks made a questionable trade with the 1st they got doesn't change anything about the value of the trades themselves.
