Covid-19 as now a pandemic only among the unvaccinated.  For the rest of us, it is a mere nuisance.

:roll: And this year's Darwin Award goes to...

That's not entirely true. My friend is,vacinnated, but had an autoimmune disease. The CDC is saying people who have such diseases aren't protected bery well even after receiving the vaccine.

Not entirely true, sure.  There are a few exceptions; but it is not a matter of your friend refusing the vaccine for political reasons.

Thanks for the reminder.

That's not true, the Canadian national identity revolves around three things: hockey, Tim Hortons and not being American.

That might be in reverse order. :nerdy:

When did Molson's, mounties, and maple syrup drop off the list?

I don't think I've heard much talk of those from Canadians. I think that's how Americans perceive us.

What about "Sergeant Preston & Yukon King" in their relentless pursuit of lawbreakers in the wild days of the Yukon?

I had to look that up, I don't think it aired here. I couldn't find anything about it being syndicated in Canada, but I did find this:

Another dream shattered.  I looked it up, too.

The show was filmed in Aspen, Colorado, and produced from Detroit, Michigan.

It was all made up.

Yes. The American image of Canada is quite different from the Canadian image of Canada.

Marilyn Monroe once said "when they said 'Canada' I thought it would be in the woods somewhere".

We Americans are amazed that you guys have like...big cities, with venues ... for a star to perform at. :lol:

We all thought that you're country was just one big ski lodge! :lol:

Could be worse.

Al Capone once said "I dont even know what street in Chicago Canada is on!".

Canadians obsess about their giant neighbor to the south.

But we Americans? We only ever think about Canada when our livlihood (like smuggling booze across the border) depends upon it! :lol:

Hmmm...

I used to drink Molson's. It was en vogue back in the late Seventies.

Havent noticed it in beer stores lately. But I havent specifically looked for it either. Not that I stopped liking it. Its just that there are so many other brands now (not to mention microbreweries) that Molson got pushed off of my radar screen.

consumer reports did a beer comparison test and said molsen golden was #1 in terms of overall flavor and body. but there is some kinda ganger-esque thing going on with the distribution of it here in amuuuurica, it is only available on the east coast and it may not be shipped to anybody out west. if one wants to taste it, one must go back east. or up north to canada.
