Two products.
Two industries.
Two different fears.

But the same exact playbook.

💊 Tylenol & autism.
🌿 Roundup & cancer.

On the surface? Totally unrelated.

But underneath?
They follow the same script - from shaky science to courtroom drama.

Let’s walk through it: 🧵1/

This conversation with @AmyVanderheide filled my cup. She’s a true agent of change for #CdnAg. It’s conversations like that these that embolden #WomenInAg to see how the vast level of experiences, knowledge and skills we have to offer the industry. 💪

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Last week, I saw an American TikToker pronounce tuque as "Too-qway".

So I decided to look at the origin of the name, and why Canadians use the word for what Americans call a "beanie"!

There are some variations on the spelling of the word, typically toque and touque. The Canadian Encyclopedia sums it up perfectly as such:
"We all know a tuque when we see one, we just can't agree on how to spell the word."

The word itself came to English from French. The Breton, Spanish and Italian languages contain a similar word but French is the only one that refers to a knitted cap.

The tuque fashion emerged thanks to the coureurs de bois, as well as Metis and French voyageurs who wore knitted caps to keep warm during the day and night.

While French is the accepted origin for the word, there are other theories as to where the word came from for the French. One states that it came from the Spanish word tocar, which refers to the end of the sock cap.
Another origin states it came from the Languedoc dialect tuc, meaning summit.

Around 1870, the word began to appear in English in the context of a winter hat.

In 1915, the Oxford English Dictionary noted that a tuque was a winter head-dress of Canadians, chiefly worn as part of a toboggan or snowshoe club costume.

It took some time for the tuque to spread outside winter sports into daily Canadian life.

The tuque is an important symbol in Quebec. During the 1837-38 Lower Canada Rebellion, illustrations of the Patriotes featured individuals wearing tuques. This has become an important symbol of nationalism in Quebec.

La Tuque is a community in Quebec that gained its name because a nearby mountain peak looked like a tuque.

In 2013, CBC Edmonton launched a poll to determine how Canadians spelled the word. Nearly 6,500 people voted, and touque was the most popular spelling.

Today, the stereotypical image of a Canadian features a tuque with a pom-pom on top.

Think it's stressful and uncomfortable to prepare your will? Imagine how family will feel when the courts assign a legal trustee and charge the estate probate fees along the lines of $14 for each $1000 of value of the estate?

This is such an amazing story of the possibilities when a community and school come together with common objectives.

Being able to tag along with on this photo shoot was one of the highlights (work-wise) of last year. (Plus, I make a cameo appearance in this video 😉).

@cindy_mangin Same! I highly recommend Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family by Ellyn Satter. It took a huge burden of guilt off my shoulders by proposing a few simple mealtime rules, all based on peer-reviewed studies.

@kowalchukfarms1 @Breckafarms @pelvera @FCCagriculture It was always a better experience to hear that song coming from the DJ than the words from a bouncer.

Today's thought of the day was, "I wonder if there's a market for maple bug protein."

After one quick Google search, I had my alma mater to thank for crushing my dream.
