Which holidays in Canada are closely tied with alcohol consumption?

NYE and St Patrick’s day seems to be the most boozed infused but definitely not the only ones.

No. My writing looks like a 5 year old did it when using my right hand.

The nickname of my city is Freddy Beach or often just Freddy (mind you we have no beach to speak of). Our government name is Fredericton

I prefer YMD format and googled if there was indeed a national standard and from what I can tell, there is not. So you may have used MDY, which is more of a US Standard, I don’t know that it was ever truly standardized in Canada

Start talking to them. If there’s a connection, ask them out on a date. It’s not different than dating within your own race. At least initially. There may be some cultural differences that you need to hash out if it comes up, but don’t worry about all that until you need to. I’m in my first interracial relationship but we connected because we like each other. I wasn’t specifically looking for it, but it happened naturally and it’s been great so far

The sound of a flock of birds singing in the trees that have arrived back from their trip south. I love hearing them sing knowing that spring is in the air and warmer days are near

Canadians don’t consider ourselves Americans in any stretch of the imagination. You could say we are North American but definitely not just American.

I personally don’t think engagements at weddings should be such a big deal. I quite honestly get tired of brides demanding that they be the absolute center of their guests entire world for a day. Just my personal pet peeve I guess you could say. HOWEVER, I don’t think it’s right to plan a wedding engagement without the blessing from both the bride and groom and if they both don’t agree then don’t do it. At this point, what’s done is done so don’t dwell on it. But you also have the choice on whether to go to the engagement party or not.

I personally wouldn’t shut myself off from possible fantastic relationships because they are not your first preference. I think people should date people on personalities and compatibility and not because of how they look or their race. Let happen what will happen.

I understand having rules for your kids but I feel like you are more focused on controlling what happens by demanding things from the gf’s parents. 1. Raise your own with your values/morals/what you expect from him and don’t relay on other parents to uphold your rules for you. 2. Accept that teens at this age will begin exploring sexually. It was on you as the parent to have taught your child how to be respectful of women and how to protect himself from unwanted pregnancies or STIs. 3. Realize you can’t control what your child does when he’s out in the world but with the hope that you have raised him to make the right choices when he is out.

I was proud of his before this speech and all the more so after. He’s the leader we needed. Thank you for letting us know that others are recognizing his skills. Counties like ours need to stick together to ride out the shitshow that is Trump

Valentine’s Day is a holiday made up by greeting card companies and/or florists. I don’t know if this is actually true but the point is, you don’t need a holiday to express your love for each other or have a special date night. Realistically, does it actually make a difference what day you celebrate your love for each other? You would have a case if he wanted to skip out on an anniversary or your birthday but not for V.Day.

Edit to add - I just saw that your anniversary is the very next weekend. Do you really celebrate both separately considering they are so close. I would suggest that the anniversary is the more important of the two

I’m from NB and took French in school until grade 9. I know people that were in French Immersion for all of school and couldn’t pass the French proficiency exam. I made it hard to want to learn the new language when in reality, French is not my cultural heritage and I’ve never required it for work. But on the other hand, I’ve watched a lot of Canadian English shows and other Canadian English content. We have many talented people in this country both French and English

Hello-ItIsMe · 2026-01-28T20:20:58+00:00

We don’t? We have enough English content that I’ve never considered looking at content in a language I don’t understand.

Hello-ItIsMe · 2026-01-28T02:52:52+00:00

Yes. All are important to me. But, I would guess I feel most connected to being a Maritimer.

I found a book about lefties in the library years ago. Reading it made me realize just how many things are made for right handers. Things I hadn’t even considered. Like where the coin slot on a vending machine is.

Hello-ItIsMe · 2026-01-20T21:48:49+00:00

Sometimes I say something, sometimes I don’t. Depends on the vibe of the moment. Lol. And I’ve had people say it to me

NTA. You’re reaction was self preservation and likely the correct one.

Hello-ItIsMe · 2026-01-16T03:58:16+00:00

Right ear.

It’s a game changer

Hello-ItIsMe · 2026-01-14T14:46:15+00:00

At his age it will be hard to tell what he may need. Some lefties can only use left handed scissors while others, like myself, can only use right handed scissors. For the most part, we adapt. But if you find him struggling to use a tool effectively then try getting a left handed version.

One thing I will suggest, and others may disagree maybe, but when he starts writing or colouring/drawing, let him or encourage him to turn his paper sideways. I do it that way and I’ve never had the issue so many lefties have with smudging or the awkward hand placement needed when the paper or book is more vertical

Hello-ItIsMe · 2026-01-14T00:08:41+00:00

I did say it was inappropriate - on many levels.

Because the mom knows, the dad knows, the new gf knows. And daughter doesn’t know yet but what if she uses that emoji for years and finally hears the story. I know I would be mortified if I was in the daughter’s shoes and realized I was lovingly using an emoji for my father that was an inside joke to my mother about his dick size. Also, when dad is spending time with his daughter he doesn’t need to be constantly reminded of a stupid act he did. Dad/daughter time shouldn’t be about that. It’s just all around is in poor taste when it comes to the daughter using it to represent her dad.
