    As a Canadian this is the realist thing ever. Half our identity is being not-American.

  Goddammit, another American pretending to be Canadian and fucking things up for us. She’s clearly avoided any words with Z in it for fear that she’ll give herself away when she fails to pronounce it “zed”.

  Maple syrup is the greatest thing on earth, and we treat it accordingly, with moderation, not like ketchup which is the third handle on American faucets.

    I wonder if it has anything to do with lack of enforcement making weed effectively decriminalized long before the official legalization went through. Official legalization was more of a “government and their buddies want in on the lucrative market”, ignoring that weed was only as expensive as saffron because of the legal risk (or illusion of one) that went along with trading it.

    Saffron is expensive because each plant grows 1-4 flowers, and each flower has two yellow and two red stigmata, and saffron is the two red ones. A whole acre of it will yield less than a kilo IIRC.

    Weed, on the other hand, is aptly named because it is happy growing pretty much anywhere from swamps to dessert mountains. Only real complication with it is the whole determining the sex of the plant ASAP to remove/separate the males before they pollinate the females and then watch for hermaphrodites. Though, even then, it only affects the quality of the final product, as fertalized females still produce bud, it just has seeds in it (at a surprisingly high density if you’ve never gotten seedy bud before) and doesn’t mature the same. Still works fine for extracts.

    If done properly, you can get the whole yield of an acre of saffron from a single weed plant.

    I spent a season in Whistler 20 years ago, and even though Whistler is “Disney Mountain” I managed to get to know some local residents through Japanese home stay students. Weed was everywhere, granted season skiers and and snowboarders are perhaps not a random selection of the population in that regard.

  Mordecai. Human. Level 50.

  This is a non-combatant NPC.
  This is a human. This one is something called a Canadian. Part French. Part maple syrup. He’s weirdly obsessed with ice hockey and snowmobiles and semi-erotic lumberjack fan fiction. Has a well-worn Tim Hortons loyalty card in his Velcro wallet. He says “aboot” instead of “about” and gets really, really upset when you point it out, claiming you’re hearing things and that it’s a harmful stereotype. It’s not a stereotype, and that’s exactly how it sounds. He has a relative who was trampled to death by a moose. You get the idea.

  • mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The one detail in this that slightly annoyed me is the timmy’s card. patriotic people don’t shop there anymore because of the ownership, also their products have sucked for the last decade anyways. idr when that book came out, though

    also, side note, nobody but the east coast is pronouncing it “aboot”. there’s a clear difference between “about” and “boot”. americans just really draw out the “ow” in “out”, so yes it sounds closer to “boot”, but it’s hardly ‘exactly how it sounds’. /angryrant

    side side note, I don’t have a relative who was trampled by a moose, but I do know someone who had their car trampled by a moose

      I would say the Tim’s card would imply from an era the company was less shit (RIP their OG Ham & Swiss sandwich with the crunchy bread).

      But I don’t think Tim’s ever had a loyalty card did they? Maybe a roll up the rim “free coffee” they forgot to ever cash in.

      The ownership of Timmy’s is Restaurant Brands International, a publicly traded corporation headquartered in Toronto. Sure there’s a lot of American shareholders, but a significant chunk of the shares are owned by Canadian banks too.

      Also it employs people at the coffee shops. I’m all about boycotting American products, but boycotting Timmy’s seems a bit much.

    That’s the reefer madness. East Asia takes a very hard line against drugs. As late as the 70s people in Japan would get 30 years in prison for possession of marijuana. Dealing drugs is often the death penalty across the region.

    I think Canada has next to zero in marijuana exports, because it’s illegal to import it in most places. It does contribute billions to Canada’s GDP, but that’s production and consumption that never leaves the country.

    I was quite shocked when my neighbor here once offered me a joint. And it’s Osaka’s central area, and it wasn’t that late! Though I sometimes can smell it in the air, and occasionally see teenagers (on the older side) smoking weed, it’s usually somewhere far from the crowds and popular places.
