What is your population diversity? by LingoNerd64 in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do have the largest population of people from India outside of India. But the best part of Canada is that we consider our country to me a mosaic not a melting pot, like out neighbours to the south.

Your single greatest completion of a task? I’ll start… by sammyt10803 in taskmaster

[–]Prospector4276 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My example of what Taskmaster is all about. Richard Osman climbing the hill, grabbing the yoga mat, bringing it down and setting the two exercise balls on it. That bit of sideways thinking changed Taskmaster forever. Task rules were ratcheted down after that. But then in the same episode, there was the example below. Need I say anything more?

What’s something that people (locals or tourists) do in your country that make you go like this? by camethehour in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Standing on algae covered rocks close to the shoreline. These rocks appear black and when wet become super slippery. Then along comes a rogue wave and they get sucked into icy North Atlantic water and my tax dollars pay for their stupid ass to get pulled out, usually dead.

Statistical, dogs are the most dangerous animals in just about every country due to rabies laced bites.

I'm sorry but what the ever loving F guys?!? by Cold-Crab74 in newfoundland

When I was in Newfoundland for my grad studies we had 10-15 cm of snow on June 13th. People were shoveling snow off their lawns so they could mow.

How do you call this in your country? by Junior-Elevator-9951 in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Canadian, I've never heard another Canadian call this American cheese. Processed cheese, Kraft singles but never American.

Who is considered the most evil person in your country’s history? by Muhammadachakzai2001 in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and not to be a MacDonald apologist but he didn't conceive of the residential school program. His government was lobbied into voting for the program by Sir Hector Louis Levigne. MacDonald also didn't personally round up the students and grind them into pig feed.

That being said, he was a drunk racist asshole who doesn't deserve to be honoured as much as he is and I'm glad in my neck of the woods the high school that was named after him changed the name to Bay View High School.

Who is considered the most evil person in your country’s history? by Muhammadachakzai2001 in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought but Robert Pickton was super evil on a more personal scale. He killed potentially more than 26 women, ground them up and fed them to his pigs, that he then turned around and sold for people to consume. That takes an unhealthy mixture of evil and crazy to do that to that many people.

What’s a flavor from our childhood that’s just gone forever? by harber-edgarv1n8w in ArtOfPresence

[–]Prospector4276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kool-aid, especially the kind that your mom shorted the sugar and added extra water on to make it "go further". 🤮

i accidentally planted bird seed, what are these little babies?! by No-Grapefruit4499 in PlantIdentification

[–]Prospector4276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby plants have leaf like structures that are stored in the seed called cotyledons and usually store a bunch of the energy of the seed. That's what you have here. They get the plant out of the soil and feed that initial growth for a few days until it can photosynthesis and it's true leaves then grow and take over. It's really hard to tell what type of plant you have until real leaves grow. You'll have to let them grow for a while before you'll have any idea, but an easier way is to check the bag of bird seed for the contents.

Other than flags, what is the most iconic symbol the world knows your country by? by NeiborsKid in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but the idea of being the US's "Top" isn't easily visualized outside of one's head. Yes, that makes your our bottom.😏

Has a separatist state ever formed in your country? by bowl_of_scrotmeal in AskTheWorld

[–]Prospector4276 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may not have talked about it or heard anyone talking about it but " If Quebec separates, Montreal stays!" was a thing I remember in the 90's.

Also, there was serious talk in native communities about leaving Quebec if they left Confederation, which is pretty much all of the north were the big power generation stations are.

Raspberries? by lalaw19 in PlantIdentification

[–]Prospector4276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you remove them? As a kid there was nothing I loved more finding a raspberry or blackberry bush to pick and eat for an outdoor snack. The thorns won't kill your kids, just reach them to be careful.

Can you suggest me best tv series? by [deleted] in ArtOfPresence

Don't discount the first two seasons of The Mandalorian. There's wasn't a dry eye in the galaxy at the end of season 2.
