The Super Dooper Canadian Thread (now with 47% more Canadian Bacon)

[Adam]

Not white, not a virgin, not English, commoner, divorced, already a celebrity, American, put no effort into learning what she was getting into and marrying, chose not play the game with the press and was marrying the favoured Prince of England. It was never going to end well.

Also 'not Kate'.

 

[HCGLNS]

Also 'not Kate'.

There is only one Kate.

 

[Bubble181]

There is only one Kate.

And that's Kate Winslet. Right?

 

[HCGLNS]

And that's Kate Winslet. Right?

Ooh, I like her too! And Kate Beckinsale.

There are 3 Kates.

 

[mikerc]

Are we just including Kate's with a K or can I put Cate Blanchett into consideration?

 

[Adam]

Kate from Lost?

 

[HCGLNS]

I think we gave to limit it to just beautiful English women named Kate. Or nicknamed Kate, but not Katie.

 

[Fun Size]

Ahem

 

[HCGLNS]

Ahem

I don't know what that means, I don't have a cat.

 

[General Specific]

I would say it’s more of a Nationalism thing since she was/is American. I mean we basically said FU to the royals and now one of us IS a royal.

Not the first time an American has married into the British Royal Family

 

[HCGLNS]

Actually American socialites marrying British Aristocracy was quite popular back then. A fresh influx of Yankee bucks kept the castles afloat.

But a DIVORCED woman marrying the King?!

=faints into his hobo patch=

Isn’t the next King married to one?

 

[HCGLNS]

Yes, but we don't talk about him.

 

[mikerc]

Isn’t the next King married to one?

Yes, but in order to marry him it had to first be known that she would never take the title "Princess of Wales", nor upon his ascent to the throne would she ever be "Queen Camilla". Granted that's mostly because she's Not Diana but her divorced status probably played into it a bit as well.

Nationalism is just racism with extra steps

 

[Celt Z]

Nationalism is just racism with flag waving.

Asgard is a people not a place.

This is like the most distilled small town fancy dining in rural Alberta thing I've ever seen. I got this ad on Facebook for a diner/food truck in Acheson.

I actually checked out their website and their other BBQ actually looks awesome.

 

[HCGLNS]

Wok with Yan is trending and it just unleashes a hurricane of happiness.

 

[Squidleybits]

I loved that show as a kid!

 

[HCGLNS]

 

[Frank]

I saw that too and came immediately here.



Fuck yes to all three.

A little bit of sherry for the frypan and little bit of sherry for meeee.

I watched Yan in Yan Can Cook. I owe him a debt for teaching such fine knife skills. I never went anywhere near as fast as he did. But I am handy with a knife.

I had to google this, but it's not the same Yan. Yan Can Cook is Martin Yan, while Wok With Yan is Stephen Yan, and they're not related.

Oh OK, I just saw the picture and thought this guy was a much older Martin Yan.

Covid crazed Nova Scotian attacks neighbour with chainsaw. Little old lady ends the dispute by ramming third party with car.

A contractor in BC spread Tide soap on a rooftop to prevent moss from growing.

In the rainiest city in North America.

Hillarity ensues.

[jwhouk]

No, no, you use Tide to clean up oil and fuel spills on the high banks of Daytona, not on houses in BC.

 

[Frank]

Oh hey, the little city I live in next to Edmonton is trending in Canada right now. I wonder...



Fuuuuuuuuuuck, over a hundred and ten seniors have lost everything. The building is only a few years old too.

Mounties investigate stolen wood. Determine beavers stole it, refuse to press charges.

Only in Saskatchewan.

Could Canadian Beavers get away with grand larceny.
