This is what is painful about the terry fox run. At our old school. We used to walk/ run around the school. we used to do it very year. Now at that same school they say there is no point in disrupting classes for it. He's a great man who's being forgotten and he shouldn't be. It's good to see this post number one because he is one of the greatest athletes if not the greatest and he should always be reminded for all the great things he had done
I dislike Brady with the heat of 10,000 fiery suns. Greatest? I think not!
I have never heard of Terry Fox which is sad. These are the people that need to be spoken about and remembered as the Greatest Heroes.
I've never heard Tom Brady referred to as the greatest athlete of all time. Greatest QB, sure, but not athlete.
His goal was a dollar for every Canadian (would’ve been about 1 million at that time) and he got over that amount
Those of us who are Europeans nod and smile, nod and smile. 😁

The Aussie one is dressed in winter boots, long pants and a big winter jacket. The Dutch one is wearing a swimsuit in the paddling pool. It cracks me up everytime I look at it.
I really want to see this picture 😂 that’s hilarious
Load More Replies..."A hundred degrees outside" - in America, this would mean a regular hot day, in Europe - an apocalyptic event :D
Try 100 deg Fahrenheit and 100% humidity with no breeze. Welcome to Louisiana
Load More Replies...If it was converted to °F, would the rest of the world understand the meme? 🤔
Probably. But why should we? It's not the world's fault that the US is the only country that uses just freedom units, instead of a proper system.
Load More Replies...I Start melting at 25°C 😅 for me, 30 is Hot enough, i don't want to go outside
Load More Replies...I have a crazy idea... How about a thread about Canada be about Canada instead of the US?
Ha ha! Someone learned a different system of measurement than I did as a child, so they're stupid!
I live in Florida and don't understand this meme because the mosquitoes NEVER die. We get mosquito bites for Christmas.
You also get a warm Christmas though we get snow cold and no mosquitoes
Load More Replies...The real trouble is tick season. Spring and Autumn, hugging mosquito season.
i have become so bitter over the years, that mosquitos no longer come near me so.........
Moved to a city and delight in the mosquito-free summers. It's so much easier dodging the occasional rat than swatting at pesky mosquitoes continuously.
To find out more about the Canadian lifestyle and its quirks, Bored Panda spoke with Casie Stewart, a Canadian award-winning content creator who has been documenting her life since 2005 via her blog ‘This is My Life.’ Her social entrepreneurship and dedication to social media won her 2016 Voice Pioneer at the Canadian Screen Awards by The Canadian Academy of Cinema & Television. Today, Casie is represented by the National Speakers Bureau of Canada.
Casie told Bored Panda that Canadian humor is pretty sarcastic and light-hearted. “We like to make jokes and it's true, we say 'sorry' a lot,” she said. “I grew up in Canada and I absolutely love living here. We have a great quality of life! My home is Toronto and my favorite city in Canada,” Casie told us.
Buddy planted larch trees in the Douglas Fir forest to create a smiley face. It returns each fall and makes a happy showing
Depending on the day I am having, I can be amused as well as s**t scared by this.
The trees are planning their attack, can't give it away..
Load More Replies...It's in Oregon, not Canada.And planted by a lumber company, not someone's 'buddy.' South of Oregon 18 at roughly milepost 25, between Willamina and Grand Ronde, trees on Hampton Lumber land form a giant smiley face each fall. In 2011, Hampton Lumber created the design by planting a mix of Douglas fir and Larch during a reforestation of the area. Larch trees are conifers with needles that yellow and drop in autumn, and they make up the body of the face. Douglas fir makes up the eyes and mouth. The smiley face should return each fall for the next 30-50 years, until the trees are ready to be harvested for lumber.via The Oregonian
I don't think they used "buddy" to refer to someone's friend. Where I live in Canada "buddy" is like "some guy" or "some dude".
Load More Replies...Yes, you can see it from hwy 18 near Grand Ronde. I'm a native Oregonian.
Load More Replies...I can't say certainly but I am wondering if this image has been mixed up with another. In the city that I live in, as you're leaving city limits, there is a happy face (cut? Planted? Who the heck takes care of it anyway?!) On the side of a hill like this. It's not as pretty as the one in the photo but it gives you warm fuzzies when you see it.
Every time I see that tree, that's exactly what I think. And now... The Larch.
Load More Replies...While I scream in frustration because the ruling class in our own countries want to emulate the US and it sure would be awesome if people in our countries would pay attention to that.
Load More Replies...Yeah they're funny until you learn about how us civilians have little to no power and we're all suffering and struggling every day because our government is petty and greedy. The people in power are self centered idiots and we can't really do anything about it because of how it's structured. All that freedom stuff is just a facade.
I currently have an untreated broken leg that I have to walk on so I can pay rent and eat. Our government is more than a just a joke.
Load More Replies...We are not polite. We are so passive aggressive, yanks can’t see through our accent.
I say this constantly! Canadians have the British passive aggressive, mixed with our own brand of sarcasm.
Load More Replies...Nah, not me. That ticking time bomb of a country is waaaaaay too close for comfort. That election was terrifying. That absolute turd in a wig nearly got us all killed, and the sh*tstain of a country got millions dead out of pure selfishness and denial.
We had some deniers at work. After one of my favorite coworkers died they all kinda fell silent. It is a shithole, you’re correct. The worse part is the feeling of complete impotence and betrayal watching the people around lose their f*****g minds.
Load More Replies...Oh yeah and you elected a doozy he spends more time flexing for the camera than caring about Canada. I won't even start on his feckless apointments.
When asked about her favourite Canadian cultural quirks, Casie said that one funny thing is “that ‘yeah, no’ means no, and ‘yeah, no for sure’ means yes,” she laughed. “We also spell things a bit different here than in the USA, ex honour, humour, and favourite all have a U,” Casie added.
The weather is also a big thing when it comes to Canadian life. “In Canada, we have 4 distinct seasons so we get to experience a really hot summer, beautiful Autumn colours (and fashion!), then a cold snowy winter, plus the spring where everything comes back to life,” she explained.
It took me, an American, WAY too long to realize they are referring to hockey. I thought Canada had some kind of awesome bloodbath gladiator deathmatch sport that I didn't know about.
"I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out." - Rodney Dangerfield
Me, a Canadian who hates hockey… I am prepared to be downvoted.
My uncle was trying to excitedly explain a game that just happened. I swear I heard that teacher from Peanuts. Utter gibberish 😂
Load More Replies...It makes perfect sense that a country whose national sport is beating the absolute f**k out of each-other with sticks while knives are strapped to their feet would also have a well-earned reputation for being nice. Would you want to risk a confrontation with a stick-wielding maniac on knife shoes? No? Well then.
Somewhat related: It's so frustrating when people talk about the Vancouver riot like it's the prime example of Canadians taking hockey way too seriously. A lot of instigators travelled to the city specifically to raise hell regardless of the outcome. They just needed an excuse.
If Toronto ever wins the cup and I'm holding my breath, it will be chaos.
Load More Replies...Can we please talk about how the date settings have the year first?
As I understand it, it’s how they get their aggression out, anything left over is given to the geese to take south for the winter.
Theyre nice enough not to use those knives and sticks when they beat each other
In the US, the person would say, "No way, that can't be real", then they touch it, the bat moves, they freak out, take a video about their trauma and saying they're going to sue. Then they leave a bad review online. In Canada, they're probably more rational and use common sense.
One landed on my sisters shoulder. Sadly it was young, probably didn’t know who it’s true parents were, so whenever we put him back he followed us. Sadly couldn’t keep him though.
Load More Replies...All the bottled up anger/frustration from the Canadian people has been channeled to the Canadian geese. It had to go somewhere.
Canadian people are stereotyped as super nice, while the geese are universally know to be absolute assh*les
You got a problem with Canada gooses, you got a problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate.
They are Canada geese, not Canadian. (I appreciate the meme, that’s not my point.)
It literally makes me so mad that bored panda has the audacity to put their watermark ON SOMERTON ELSE'S CREATION.
Depends on where you live. In the PNW, stuff like this is common.
Load More Replies...I should do this in the lobby to remind my upstairs neighbor to return my stuff he borrowed.
Deer are dumber than a box of hammers and will jump directly in front of your car when they weren't even near the road to begin with.
I can't remember who it was, but I once heard a comedian joking about deer hunters complaining when they miss a shot. He then said the trick is to slow the bullet down to 50mph and strap headlights to it, now the deer will just jump in front of the bullet
Load More Replies...Deer can be just as aggressive as a bear during mating season. They will attack to show dominance around females. When it comes to their young, females will go out of their way to attack if you are"too close". They are the number one wildlife related injury for park rangers in BC.
Canadian Geese seem nice in the UK, obviously jet lagged after migrating.
Well somebody has never been on a morning run around a park that has a goose in it. But then they are nice, but only in comparison to say living in eastern Ukraine at the moment.
Load More Replies...Geese are violent murder machines that can fly. They never give up
Canadian geese have invaded where I live (Southern California) and we fear them accordingly.
Same here (Germany). I had a meeting with clients where they hammered against the windows. The conquered a lot of picnic places and parks. There is no getting rid of them (invasive species).
Load More Replies...I once walked through a park full of them one morning, and one of them had issues but I made it out alive.
Hoping you get a movie deal out the trauma story, but nobody will believe it.
Load More Replies...I used to live in a condo that had a fairly large field behind it. I looked outside one day and saw 20-30 Canadian geese in the field. They were all honking and flapping their wings in unison. It was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. It felt like I was in a Hitchcock movie.
We have a park near us they used to land in. Hundreds of them. Our previous dog lived to chase them.
Load More Replies...What's up with Canadian swans then? They are so nice here? @-@
Load More Replies...Cobra Chickens are definitely more frightening than a wolf or bear. I have been within 10 feet of all three, at one point or another, and the only one that WON'T run away from you is the goddamned Cobra Chickens
I'm going to give the geese the appreciation they need. " Thank you geese for casing the Karens and their demon spawn"
This. We don't want them either, they just show up whether we like it or not.
Load More Replies...Canadian women are on another level. Picture: Hugo Lorini
Sure they're not Geordie lasses? Oh, hang on, they're wearing too many clothes...
Could also be Weegie lassies, but too many clothes AND not enough Irn Bru!
Load More Replies...Montréal memories...ah, yes. I used to be one of those girls. You'd be amazed by how warming nylon pantyhose can be! 😉
we (men) used to wear them under our hunting clothes. they are warm.
Load More Replies...It's not the short skirts that always blow me away, it's the shoes. I've seen mountain climbers with nothing in Alberta girls for Cold resistance. 🥶
I'm sorry, but I did not spend all that time getting ready, to let a little frost scare me. Aalberta has only thrown me 1 winter that broke me 😂
Load More Replies...I'm Canadian and I will never understand how these women do not slip and fall while wearing their high heels in this snow
The stilettos work similar to ice axes, once you chuck them in, you stand no matter what. (/s, I have no clue either, I love heels, but in weather like that, I'm lazy most of the time, haha)
Load More Replies...I saw that in Canada. It felt like -30 Celcius in the winter. I wore long underwear and a ski suit and snowboots for walking a few mins from a warmed car to a mall and they just walked around like this and with open shoes, high heels. I saw a guy walking through the snow with short pants.
Scottish women: hold my beer (ok, maybe not that amount of snow but cold af and plenty of rather steep roads with cobblestones and snow on it, but a ton of women with stilettos and way more skimpy clothes in Edinburgh some fine winter night a couple of years ago. It was impressive)
I remember having to do this for winter events in Minneapolis too. Absolute nightmare.
Skin so soft. Avon product. You can wear it in a swamp they won't touch you.
looks like it has a pretty thick coat so it should be alright
Load More Replies...I'd rather my face hurt from cold than feel like I'm suffocating from heat/humidity
Driving unplowed curvy hilly backroads going home at midnight with snow deep enough on the road that it sweeps over the front of your car and over the windshield in an endless opaque wave, with the side window open so you can actually see anything, in near whiteout snowfall and well below freezing temperature, all while driving fast enough to keep your momentum to get over the hills, but slow enough not to drive off the road into a ditch, and knowing that if you mess up and get stuck, there probably won't be another vehicle along for hours and you're in for a real long walk. Yeah, real winter in the country is fun.
Fun with a capital F U ... don't miss any of this...
Load More Replies...Yup. You just gotta make a hole to see out of. Then you crank up the defroster and run the windshield wipers on high while driving. By the time you get there the window is clear. Works every time. :)
I really want to believe that Canadians in cold climates understand that winter brings with it driving hazards that must be respected. (There's always a few, though, who will impale the driver behind them because they left a solid sheet of ice on their roof because it wasn't impeding THEIR driving)!
My favourite winter sight is when you see that lazy idiot that went far enough to make use of the snowbrush, but only took one swipe at the drivers side windshield of the foot and a half of snowfall.
Load More Replies...How about driving from Calgary to BC along Rogers Pass with salty slush on the windshield, forgot to fill up the windshield washer fluid, can barely see, with oncomming traffic and 18 wheelers barrelling towards you!
Holiday tip
Didn't that take place in Chicago? We leave our doors unlocked up here.
So, an Australian-Malaysian chef joking about an American movie is on a Canadian listicle because .... we're so multi-cultural, I guess?
Home Alone! And it ain't gonna be me to set up the traps. Edit: I have two cats that can bite and scratch quite forcefully. Or they'll beg for food.
I think that movie took place in Chicago. The mom was trying to get back to Chicago. I don't remember Canada being involved.
You know, is it just me or do you just LOVEEE that movie and also want to be as smart as Kevin and as forgiving because I would have totally asked my mom to give me something before i forgave her for leaving me at home
I won't lie... there are days that I wish I were the sun in Finland

My mom gave me a costco bundle of toilet paper once for Christmas. My New Years resolution was to adult better
same thing at the beach in Australia if you eat hot potato chips and the seagulls notice.
We have seagulls in Canada too. Always looking for food but do the seagulls bite you?.... Our Raptors...um.. I mean OUR GEESE DO!!! Edit: Wait. You are in Australia. My bad. We will keep the GEESE and you can keep the everything else.
Load More Replies...Velociraptors had feathers and were about the size of turkeys or large geese. So...
Oh Canada, trust me when I say that your geese are seen as terrifying creatures that will attack unprovoked no matter what country they're in.
Well, they are part of the one clade of dinosaurs that survived the K-Pg event. That can make for badassery. "Our ancestors ate your ancestors, furbag."
In Australia they're called fries at MacDonald's, but mostly here they are called chips and are thicker
Load More Replies...I’m in America. My brother went to a University in Ohio where geese were literally attacking students. It was like a death gauntlet to get to class. One student got his arm broken. Nothing would scare them away. They finally had to discreetly use “snipers” to shoot the geese, eventually they got the message and cleared out.
Load More Replies...That's actually pretty accurate, except that the Facebook part should read "We know you bought a toaster yesterday. Here are some 20 ads for toaster ovens if you wished to buy 5 more"
*here are some 20 ads for toaster ovens way too cheaper with really good quality
Load More Replies...I know this post is about Canada, but there is a video on YouTube channel "its a southern thing" called "if delivery companies were santa". It is hilarious
Lol lol I just watched it, priceless!!! Thanks for the great recommendation =D
Load More Replies...FedEx's should say: that package? It may be in the woods or down a ravine along with the other 500 the drivers dumped there.
Lol so true Amazon be like your package is 3 stops away but USPS will say expected delivery date 10/17 by 9pm then suddenly at 4 it’s shows expected 10/18…like wtf did the driver give up in the middle of the route?!?
Canada Post sounds like USPS. I am still waiting on a package from nearly 2 years ago.
Canada Post routinely delivers to the same number one street over. Last one got delivered to the house across the road and down one. Huh?
I don't understand any of this but if it's Canandian I'm sure it's benign
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch He goes to the lavatory On Wednesday he goes shopping And has buttered scones for tea (Everybody, join in and sing!) He's a lumberjack and he's ok...
Yes, but I haven't misplaced my axe. It's exactly where I left it last winter awaiting its next sharpening. Embrace the lumberjack.
HEY THERE DID U SEE A AXE COVERED IN BLOOD- WAIT NOT HUMAN BLOOD-WAIT-WAIT DONT CALL THE POLICE
You could still have misplaced your axe while in your flannel shirt.
Only in Canada right? Because people in the USA don't wear plaid shirts in the wintertime. Not ever.
This is not Saskatchewan...I guess that's the joke. Saskatchewan is so flat, in some parts, your shadow looks like a giant.
Load More Replies...For clarity: This is a picture of gorgeous Moraine Lake in Alberta (https://www.banfflakelouise.com/moraine-lake). Attached is a pic of Regina, Saskatchewan. Beautiful in its own way, but please note the complete lack of mountains. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Greg-Husza...22fff5.jpg
*Starts laughing my a**e off* If some one outside of Canada actually believes THAT’S what Saskatchewan looks like….. Come visit and confirm it!
There's no way that's Saskatchewan... Gotta be Alberta or BC
Suspiciously looks like Alberta. Grew up in Saskatchewan...they must have sprouted mountains since I left 43 years ago lol
Hey, what about that ski hill near Blackstrap? Okay, it used to be a landfill, admittedly.
Load More Replies...A moose could come along and merc my a$$ and I'd still say it was worth it.
I lived in Sk for 9 years. It is the flattest place you’ll ever see. There is no way that’s Saskatchewan.
As a Marylander, pretty much every white teenaged male comes to school in winter like this.
Maryland's definitely not the worst when it comes to winter though.
Load More Replies...My Dad, top half is cold, wears long sleeve shirt with a fleece jacket, and then shorts because his legs are hot.
We can spot the newbie Canadians right away: They're ones in elegant tailored coats laughing at the rest of us as we try to convince them to get proper clothing (basically sleeping bags with arms) before the stores run out in December. Then when winter actually hits. The next year, they're just like the rest of us.
Banff in the early 1900’s compared to now
i was wondering what the difference was. couldnt figure it out, until i read your comment ☺️
Load More Replies...I have stood in this exact spot on two occasions and the photograph does not do it justice. My thoughts both times how do people work and not just stare at these surroundings?
People get jaded and learn that it will still be there tomorrow but then they still don't take the time tomorrow, so they just keep on keeping on...
Load More Replies...So, while the hotels are hosting sales conventions, the animals are increasing wedged between the town and the mountains. Animals killed on highway running between Banff and Jasper by massive trucks that cannot stop, just to supply all these places. Not something we should be proud of at all.
I did that once the sale was too good. Buy one bra the other ones free. I was the only one there.
Customer: why hasn’t my parcel arrived in store? Worker: cos of the snow, there are no deliveries. Customer: but I walked all the way here to collect it! Worker: yes, you walked, because you can’t drive. Our delivery drivers can’t get here because of the snow… Customer: (not understanding and getting angry) but I want my parcel!
Nah, bad script, we're talking about Canadians here, 𝖊𝖆.
Load More Replies...One Christmas party was cancelled with my husband's family without telling us. They figured being the ones most furthest away that we wouldn't come. Turns out we showed up and my BIL was really happy to see us, even 3 hours late, because we had the cookies and he only had the bird with no sides.
Ah, reminders of the time - in the UK - when the whole area was cut off by 4ft of snow, I was running a small hotel in a tiny village which had a really good reputation for food. Phone lines went down (before the age of the mobile), so assuming the night was going to be a washout, I sent all of the staff home (they all lived very locally) and the Head Chef and myself decided to have a few beers and a chat until about 8pm then call it a night. We're sat in the lounge and both of us see two sets of headlights coming down the closed road ... thought it was emergency services until they indicated to come into our car park. turns out it was a party of 8 country vets who'd decided that a bit of snow wasn't going to stop their annual get together. It was a hoot, Chef cooked, I served, they bought us booze and left at 2 in the morning all as pissed as wheelbarrows, as were we. Happy memory.
What kills me up here is that it won't be just the grocery store or gas station but folks will look like that headed into the fabric store or the micro brewery supply shop. Not out in this weather for essentials is my point. We become so complacent and comfortable in it a blizzard isn't keeping grandma from her embroidery supplies.
I work in fast food in upper Wisconsin and as soon as a snowstorm creates undrivable conditions the drive-thru gets so busy! Whoppers are non essential! Maybe a big mac is 🤔

I lived in VT for a few years and can confirm weather will not keep people home.
That's because employers tell everybody not to come in.
Load More Replies...You can afford ONE of those???? I'm still in the dark with an empty fridge here in New England.... but at least my health insurance will pay a tiny fraction to cover my frostbite care.
Load More Replies...If I had a choice, I'd pick freezing to death. Starving is way more painful than you think. The cramps alone are so intense and last for days. All you can think about is food. Your insides start to digest themselves over the course of weeks. Sure, first it's just your fat cells, but then your muscles, and finally your organs. Your body sacrifices itself so the brain can live. Freezing to death there will be pain at first, then your body goes numb, before you get very sleepy and drift away. The whole process can take a few minutes to a few hours (depending on the temperature outside).
If I freeze to death, I hope I'm making the same face as Jack Nicholson in The Shining. 🤞🏻
Load More Replies...Guess fur coats will be back in style. Warmest coat you will ever own. Fur shops sell pre-owned coats, especially in warmer states. No need to kill animals for fur. If fur coats are cleaned & stored properly they can last for generations. Ask Grandma if you can borrow hers.
I'm in the UK and we're just sat here wondering if we'll freeze or starve to death first because both are too expensive now lmao
Yeah! Just eat him and do Russia a favour...! (I know what poutine is, btw)

People say that we aren't particularly patriotic. I say that are just quiet patriotic. Unlike day, Americans, we know that we are amazing and we don't have the need to applaud ourselves for living in this amazing country in this amazing part of the world.
Thank you for sending us your best hockey players, Canada! You’re doing god’s work.
For me Quebec is really distinct from Canada as I am often confused if it's the same country or not
Similar to the relationship of Scotland and the rest of England/GB.
Load More Replies...The province of Manitoba alone has over 100,000 lakes..... Did an American company write this stuff up?
The UK actually has the lowest drinking age of 5. You can drink alcohol at home/private parties at 5. You can drink alcohol with a meal at a restaurant at the age of 16 but you can't outright buy alcohol by itself until you are 18.
Actually, there's no drinking age in France. 18 is the legal age to sell or serve alcohol. In private, children are under their parents' responsibility.
Load More Replies...just so people arent too confused The legal drinking age is 19. If you are under 19, a parent or spouse can give you an alcoholic drink like a glass of wine.
It's very dependent on your state here in the US. Most states have caveats to the law that allows for minors to drink alcohol with parent permission, for religious ceremony, or when medically necessary(if you somehow get injected with hydraulic fluid a shot of vodka can save your life) my state even allows parents to order alcohol for their children so long as the establishment allows it. The only state I know of that allows no exceptions is alabama. Their drinking age law explicitly states there are no exception and points out that religious and medical reasons are still illegal
"Standard drinks per week per person are calculated for each person of legal drinking age in Canada. The legal drinking age is 19 years and older in every province and territory except Quebec, Manitoba and Alberta where it is 18 years and older." __ https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/220215/dq220215a-eng.htm
Load More Replies...Legal drinking age was 19 where I lived. But admittedly my parents had been supervising me drinking since 14. I hated most drinks I tried. I think my taste buds changed when i turned 30.
Isn't it like 19 in Canada? Used to be when we crossed the Blue Water Bridge to drink legally since it would be two more years before we could in the U.S.
19 most places in Canada, 18 in Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba
Load More Replies...The transport trucks in Ontario are notorious for anything before 10 am. You learn not to follow close as an entire car made of snow could come off their roof in 1 go
Any open fields along the 401 are a recipe for disaster when the wind picks up. One minute it's sunny and clear, next minute you can't see a foot in front of ya.
Load More Replies...Welp, where I live that's illegal. Gotta brush that off so ya don't murder the car behind you on the highway. Imagine THAT hitting your windshield at 45mph... especially if it has ice in it. Eesh.
Having lived in the south US and Michigan and New York, two states that get their fair share of crummy winter weather, I can say I'd rather the bottom picture. Places that don't often get snow aren't built to handle any. When I was living in Virginia we got a surprise snow storm. They only had 1 plow truck for the entire county. News stations were broadcasting that anyone with a plow please help, government is going to compensate time and expenses. I've driven in white out blizzards in Northern states and felt safe than I did on those roads that only got a dusting
True. Many years ago, my grandpa had to take a trip for work from Michigan to Georgia and back. Well, there was a little snow and no one else was on the road, but a cop pulled him over to ask if he was crazy. Grandpa said, "I'm from Michigan", and the cop shooed him along. I now live in Georgia and hate how everything closes down for a little snow. I miss the North.
Load More Replies...Well, in our defense, it's usually all closed down because of the bridges being shut down for ice accumulation. But yeah, it's totally true. I'm in TexASS, so we're hoping for no more snowmageddon's or snowpocolpse
What??? You want Cancun Cruz to be denied his "run away and hidecation'.
Load More Replies...In our defense, the states that get regular snow have the resources to make driving safe. Many people around here don't know how to drive SAFELY in snow/ice. Not to mention our infrastructure is so old, it can't handle an hour of ice/sleet without losing power and busting water lines. They only JUST started selling tire chains LAST YEAR in the midsouth.
For those who don't know, it saves the wipers from getting ruined from freezing to the front window. A trick if one forgets to do this is to turn on the defrost heat, brush the excess snow off the car and especially the front window, scrape the ice off so the other windows, THEN scrape the front. The heat will melt the ice and then you can just pick up the wipers.

This is the a*****e I'm cussing out driving behind because he couldn't be bothered to sweep the top of his car... except here in Canada, it's totally on another level.
I was from a place like the bottom, but went to college in a place like the tip. There was no shortage of humorous moments in the winter, from radio broadcasts to TV news segments. I drove a 4 wheel drive... one time there was a little snow, about like the first picture, and I'm driving along on a multilane highway, and realize there a NO cars in front of me, which, even for the weather, was strange. I look behind me and there is an endless stream of cars behind me, like we're playing vehicular Follow The Leader; was so strange.
Used to travel a lot for work and I tell you each town/city has the same bar, with the moose head on the wall, that same carpet, tables and chairs.
Oh no, Kate showed up in the same outfit! You know she likes to start $hit...
How can you possibly afford food with a full tank?
Load More Replies...Similar strategy is to strap a snow blower (thrower) to the roof and keep driving south until somebody asks you what it is......
Even if you have 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive, you cannot drive like a bat out of Hell. Do NOT use your brakes...downshift to a lower gear, even in an automatic, you can still put it in low gear. If you start to spin turn the wheel into the spin. Trust me, this does work...I have had to do this, and it kept me on the road, rather than in a ravine.
Keep a warm blanket and a few snacks in your car. I always travel with kitty litter too.
This is what I did when I turned 30. Been over a decade without snow and ice. Haven't missed it...
Put on your winter tires, not just snow tires , pull up your big girl l panties and hit the road.

It sucks when you expect it to be soft and fall off, but its ice like a rock and you break your toes. Wisconsin
My daughter and I make a game of this. Who can get their side of the truck kicked clean faster. Loser makes the hot chocolate. 😊
All the satisfaction until you kick one that's solid ice and you hurt your foot.

Anytime the South shuts down for 1-2 inches of snow Ohio be laughing.
Well, ground is warm and falling snow basically melts and gets into ice; no winter tires required; drivers not experienced driving in snow, most water pipes are not insulated and above ground... it is simply annoying. I am from country where there is a winter season and winter tires are necessary. In Texas they usually do not even have sufficient amount of salt/sand trucks for roads. Combine icy road, summer tires and no experience in driving on ice, and well, it is easier to close half of the stuff than allow this amount of people to roads.
Load More Replies...Some laughed at first until we got educated how different the infrastructure is in Texas. No double paned windows or heavy insulation and heating. Few people with parkas and other insulated winter wear. Above ground plumbing that froze easily.

Yuck, one of the only things I didn't like about Canada. Bacon is not like traditional bacon it's basically ham.
We do have “traditional” bacon. It’s probably even more common than this, which is back bacon. We also have peameal bacon, which is delicious and different yet again. What we don’t actually have is any food called Canadian Bacon. That is a movie here.

Load More Replies...I saw some bagged milk at a No Frills some years ago, but never bought any. I remember my dad always having it in the house. For some reason the milk always tasted better and it was more satisfying having it come out of a sack than a jug.
Totally off topic, but I can’t stomach this guy from P**n Stars. What he’s doing to his Mom is just shameful! https://fox59.com/news/entertainment/rick-harrison-of-p**n-stars-sued-by-81-year-old-mom/amp/
There's a week stretch in May or June where there's no mosquitoes, no canker worms, no wasps, no horseflies and no ticks. The temperature is moderately warm. Not cool. Not hot. With leaves on the trees. It's not every year, but when that week comes around it's bliss.
With those numbers, I hope that's the US and not Canada. 66 Celsius is hotter than what the US requires to kill all the bacteria when pasteurizing milk.
I mean, 66 Celcius - plus or minus - is either hotter than Hades or colder than my ice cold heart. Plus 58 is hotter than Hades' front door and minus 58 is still too cold to melt my ice cold heart. Having said that, I experienced minus 53 when I lived in the Yukon, and minus 55 when I lived in Quèbec.

I spend more time outdoors than I prefer and I hate summer, I get overheated very easily. If I could just have the cold without snow, I'm good.
I can feel this image and it makes me shiver. I grew up in Salzburg, and every day, it seemed, two minutes out of the house while crossing one such barrier my shoes would fill up with semi liquid slush, and my feet stayed wet and cold through the entire rest of the school-day.
Eurgh that slushy brown-grey snow at the curbs thats like full of salt and gravel is the worst. You always end up either stepping right in it and getting you're foot wet or trying to jump over it and slipping
I hate to break it to ya, I'm not a Bible thumper or anything but Jesus's birthday was not on Christmas sure they celebrate his birth then but he was born a different day.

House hippo! Anyone else remember the YTV PJs and those puppets? Used to anticipate Ed's Fromage every Christmas on Much Music. Watching back now, that sock really wasn't that funny. Not sure if Video On Trial was any better. Maybe a little. Avril Lavigne... She was was one of those music artists who had closet fans cos I sure didn't hear a lot of people raving about her first song. Sk8r Boi (however the heck she spelled it) was her saving grace. But the media trying to label her as punk rock and a "punk princess" probably killed it for some people who might've otherwise given her a chance. We knew who the queen of punk was, Bif Naked. But mainstream punk was heavily scrutinized. Even The Offspring was taken as a joke after their Americana album. AYAOTD was the best show. That intro was eerie enough. Book fairs were fun to look at all the school stuff you know you're parents were too poor to get you. But still fun circling your wish list. Oh, and Speaker's Corner was like Tiktok but better.

Two team captains. Everyone throws their hockey sticks in messy pile. Captains pick the stick and the owner is on that team.

Worked at Tims. This is every damn day. Worked at one inside a mall, so it closed with the mall at 9pm. We couldn't lock the gates from the inside while cleaning but we would close them, turn down the lights a bit while we cleaned.

No f***s given there's mall security present, or that we're just trying to get the place cleaned to go home, as if they think staff live at the Tim Hortons and we just close to be assholes.
