A proud Canadian stereotype: curler, knitter, log home builder, nature watcher, flannel lover. UBC mom & UofWaterloo mom. Not big on proof reading reading.

@RogersHelps it would be helpful if you posted some kind of update on services for the ice storm affected areas on texts to your customers. We have very weak cell service at the moment and often can’t check webpage. When we do get through the outage page doesn’t work.

Not sure this was thoroughly thought out.

The Canadian men's curling championship will now be called the Montana’s Brier.

Curling Canada announced its new title sponsor for the Brier on Friday, revealing that Canadian restaurant chain Montana’s will be the sponsor going forward.

It's #CanadaDay and we thought we would break down TEN things about Canada that our American friends may not know!

This list may shock and surprise you and you should read it before the government of Canada writes us a strongly worded dm to remove this post.

Let's Go!

Happy Canada Day everyone!

Drafted 13th but could move into the top 10 after the free skate

@DonCochraneYOW Moved from gta to smaller (but not small) community and have to commute 90min to see a Dr as there are none accepting patients anywhere near me. Still worth it to get out of Toronto but that doesn’t mean that the system isn’t broken.

Interesting article. Grade inflation needs to stop. Unfortunately, standardized testing may be the only answer.

Happy Friday!
As requested by many, here is what AI generated for the Muppets that live in Canadian cities
I included how each city was named

Vancouver:

Indigenous name: The Halkomelem called it Lhq’á:lets for wide at the bottom

Modern name: Named for Capt. George Vancouver

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Each province and territory in Canada, represented by a Muppet who lives there. Generated by AI.

1. British Columbia

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

This is awesome idea...

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. It is ‘The University of Guelph’ NOT ‘Guelph University’. It says so right on the sign. The media needs to stop trying to make that happen.

Train trip from Ottawa to Windsor and back, two people, economy class, very off-season, no weekend trips, taking 11 hours, costs $718. @VIA_Rail, you're not really serious about being an alternative to driving, are you?

He saw it. He believed it. He made it. 🤯

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?
