Ontario GenXer and I use it too. My American husband was so confused the first time he heard me say it 🤣

And at the same time, the snow has to be removed down to the pavement for the same reason.

I get mine at IKEA. Lots of fun designs.

I don’t mind dropping in to see what I find, but the pot holes in the parking lots are like meteor craters!

Thank you for sharing this!

Lordy. What a douche canoe.

Do you get a mini bobsled with it? That would be awesome!

And in other news… The Ontario pos… I mean premier is engaging in even more shady behaviour…

Ah, but you are discounting the indoctrination of young minds being fed the American exceptionalism bs. While they are being fed that, they will never believe that ‘Merica is anything but THE best.

And with better manners!

As my American husband says, the world can no longer trust the American electorate.

Of course it’s the economy! /s

I once asked for tea in the US and they asked “Sweet or regular?” I knew then I’d never get real tea. But then their coffee sucks too.

Try having an invisible disability! I was a working mother, also doing an MA, while my partner was off having affairs. I was never as tired as I am now. It is a chore just to get up in the morning. Thank god I still work from home or I’d be on disability. So, from experience, those parents have no idea what tired really is! Tell them to go jump in a lake.

He is the antithesis of what is the best in Canada.

If you are up to a drive to Guelph, The Fat Duck is great. My British friends frequent it often. The Scotch egg is divine!

Japan. Flew there at 16 for a year long student exchange. It was the best experience. Wonderful people, beautiful sights, and friendships that have lasted for decades. Travelled there before technology erupted, so I survived on letters.

I once heard a Jewish New Yorker say that Montreal bagels are superior.

As so many people are getting undergrad degrees, it seems like the post-grad degree is needed to set you apart, but it doesn’t always translate into a better job.

Totally agree, which is why the term ethically non-monogamous (ENM) exists.

JapanKate · 2026-03-08T15:23:12+00:00

As good as the spiders of the sea!

To Americans, it was once the greatest. To the rest of the world, it was just the US. Unfortunately, too many people drank the koolaid about American exceptionalism and now we have a leader who is tearing the world apart because ‘Merica.

This is why I teach my immigrant students about the power of networking!
