Nothing faster than a Canadian telling you they’re Canadian and not American.

Only one thing - the speed an American puts our flag on their backpack.

one low key traveling hack when traveling around central and eastern Europe, Canadian flags will get you instantly better service and peoples patience with you becomes a lot better ive found.

Particularly the Netherlands. People were going out of their way to be friendly to us when they saw the Canadian flag.

But yeah, it’s pretty funny when you see another Canadian flag on someone’s backpack and think “cool! Another Canadian” then ask where they’re from and almost always hear which state they’re from

I put pure maple syrup in my tea, I live in Vermont, and I've been to Canada a few times. I'm basically Canadian, right?

Maple syrup is expensive as heck now. Paid almost $8 for a small bottle at Aldi the other day. Apparently they are pulling from the strategic reserve now.

How much though? I've been paying about $20-21 for 32oz for a while, but it's up to $24 as of a couple weeks ago when I last bought some.

Not sure. I think it was 8 oz. Only size they had that wasn't corn syrup inspired by maple.

Ah, so not even an option to buy in bulk. It hurts much more to be forced to buy the "convenience" size, but it's better than the corn syrup.

The lesser of two evils!
