Dearest Canadians,
Thanks for Letterkenny, your weed laws and Fat Burger.
I wonder if i could trouble you for a bit of insight, I'm currently working on a Spring campaign for a large company that operates across Canada. Are there any images that signify 'Spring' to Canadians? Here in the UK Chicks (baby chickens), Daffodils, Snowdrops, Bluebells are all common images associated with it but i'm unaware if these would translate to Canadians. Any insight would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
- Maple syrup flowing starts in early spring. Pretty much very small town has a Maple syrup festival In March/AprilGnash
- the same symbols that you’ve listed already would be relevant here as wellGnash
- Icicles dripping, piles of cigarette butts and dog turds where snowbanks once stood, snow tires (or chains) coming off...i_monk
- Haha, that tooGnash
- i_monk has it right. You also know spring is around the corner when it’s too cold out for them, but the odd dipshit is wearing shorts anyway.ben_

I live in Calgary and Golden BC. Every country sucks. You have to go to work..pay your taxes...Justin loves to hobnob. That said I'm proud to be Canadian. why:
Racism doesn't really exist here. Not alot of segregation here. Everyone gets Canadian washed.
It's fucking cold. No igloos...but putting on winter weight and being fat and wearing cool jackets is nice.
Health care. I usually only go to get some cialis and ativan to fly.
We do say sorry a bunch. I once opened a door for someone and said sorry.
Only issue is not alot of cool places to live. Vancouver island and Montreal is it.
I love Hawaii, Greek Islands and Croatia...very similar people to Canadians.
- Ya... Maybe not your neighbourhood. But racism is still in Canada. Not as bad as south of the border tho. They do have higher population.pango
- Canada is ok.robotron3k
- "Racism doesn't really exist here" hahahahahahahahahaha...
ahahahahaha
ahahahahahanb - you forgot to mention the Saddledome issue...caterpus
- lol...not a lot of segregation here. did you portal in from a time machine?hotroddy

What do the QBN Canucks think
- idiotic._niko
- he didn't mention our low gun deaths, university education icosts 1/10 of America's, no mass homeless crisis and best of all no magatards!_niko
- and yes we wait 3 days to see a doctor but we also don't need a crane to get us out of our house to see said doctor._niko
- and those solution stats are BS, they were from the first fires last summer, and the one lone US dot on that map was Bill Maher blowing hot air out of his ass_niko
- I mean he’s not incorrect as abrasive as he can be. I’m in a small town (Amy hometown), paid a lot for my home and haven’t had a family doctor...ideaist
- ...since we got here almost 3 years ago. We’ve been too progressive on the wrong things, we’ve lost balance in housing, immigration, etc. AND are prime...ideaist
- ...for the pendulum to swing back conservative at a time where we need logical, progressive thinking.
Frustrating.ideaist - “Amy hometown” = “ MY hometown”.ideaist
- Wrong about pollution, the rest is pretty much accurate. Still rather be here thoughGnash
- Poorly-written. But he’s right that if you go too far in one political direction, the pendulum eventually swings back.nb
- And that the US is much better standard of living and outlook for the future than the Canada of the past decadenb

Home ownership to destabilize Canada warns horse hat guys
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMDQGuTd/…- Things can only get woooooorsePhanLo
- i'd double check all news on tiktok. especially ones read from epoch time.pango
- pango we don’t need to check anything, look around us, a million dollar home is either a project house needing a $600k reno or a tear downprophetone
- an entire generation, a couple actually, under 30 are simply not remotely buying a detached, even in the sticks nowprophetone
- rent is increasingly wild so... just look at situation from 30kft, the ease of buying condo, townhouse, detached is gone, now reach is a mediumish condo at bestprophetone
- and for every 10,000 people who are looking and couple new builds are thrown up and still priced out of reach... something’s gotta giveprophetone
- Real maple syrup’s still cheap so there’s thatprophetone
- then why post the video? just talk from your experience?
misinformation are usually hidden between actual truths.pango - the video just a guy pointing out the obvious. making pointing gestures. reading new titles. and epoch time. he even quoted he's own tweet(x). o_Opango
- who quotes their own words?! couldn't he just say it?pango
- fair enough but it doesn’t have to be sharp on details, point is we can all see it’s coming to a head at some point, so does RCMP I guessprophetone
- access to affordable housing in Canada is getting stretched thin vs USA as not as many cities, areas, options esp near major CDN citiesprophetone
- this will flare up problems across the board... right now it’s a young families prob but all ages are stressed, moving around, living in rvs, etcprophetone
- not good unless they start cranking out smaller, affordable townhouse and condo communities faster than even to stem this tideprophetone
- it’s basic supply vs demandprophetone
- in BC instead of doing that and incentivizing things for developers they’re putting it on smaller one lot/house ownersprophetone
- passing the buck to an extent, of course! Bill-44 basically stating that one lot can be split into 6 units even tho infrastructure and local bylaws resist itprophetone
- I do hope it does work of course paired with actual large scale projects getting fast tracked to simply flood market w affordable homes, we’ll seeprophetone
- he's sourcing an RCMP government report but keep arguing pango.hotroddy
- misinformation funded by Trudeau himself according to pango.hotroddy
- ya doesn't help when we only have few major cities. detached house will become more scarce. unless people has opportunities to move away from existing big citipango
- lol what source. which report? the argument was never the accuracy of the report. if it was a report at all.pango
- it was a regurgitation of news titles. lazy way to create contents. are you still following knobby? lolpango
- is that how you get your news knobby? just a dude pointing at flash card in less than a minute?pango
- would you rather get it straight from the source? Ok p https://www.cbc.ca/n…hotroddy
- oh thanks! see that's better than dude pointing at flash card.pango
- thanks for all your hard work! :)pango
- Pango obviously does read the newsGnash
- Doesn’t* it’s been in the news since the report came outGnash
- ^ see he gets it! never get news from tiktok.pango
- oh you got typo. and like hotknobby you're not following as well. i was not arguing the accuracy of the new but rather the way it's presented.pango
- you get your news from a worse source - the CBC - AKA gov't propaganda machine.hotroddy
- lol the gov't propaganda machine that the gov't actively defunding. the right call it left and the left calls it right.pango
- are you saying you prefer news delivered to you with varies headlines and some dude quoting him self?pango

The number of immigrants isn't the problem. The problem is we've gone all in on a fundamentally flawed economic model that has made us reliant on an ever-growing population willing to work for less. The problem is we're adding half a million people a year without adding the corresponding infrastructure and social services and housing, because all of that is being privatized piece by piece. The problem is we'd rather import people than change anything that would make having and raising kids an affordable option for the average person.
- It’s probably the least bad solution. Housing is unaffordable, services are tapped out, but the debt is getting paid (mostly).monNom
- Boomers moving into retirement means the tax-base is drying up. Canada has to stop the bleeding, and immigration is helping over the long term.monNom
- There’s short-term pain, but in 10-15 years boomers are gonna start dropping like flies, and the housing shortage will be a thing of the past.monNom
- ^ When boomers drop, their house will be shared btw their 15 kidsProjectile
- It's a population trap we saw coming 40 years ago and decided to make worse.i_monk
- Wasn’t Canada just paying everyone to stay home during the pandemic. Sheesh! I’m sure that helped the housing price crisisnb
- I wish we were adding half a million people - it will be two million in 2024 easy.everyangle
- Low IQ and primitive culture is the problem.crazyprick
- The housing crisis started nearly 20 years ago, under Harper. The pm who wanted to dereg banks and bring subprime loans over the border.i_monk

Just clicked on an ad because the branding looked interesting but had no idea what it was for.
This just feels so wrong, I get all the points it’s trying to make and the benefits as well and it’s no different than anything else we eat but it just seems a bit fucked up.
- And having said that, I’ve always wanted to try seal, muktuk too, but in a traditional setting up North, this commercialization seem unnatural_niko
- Kids get dibs on the seal eyeballsGnash

- ^ holy crap, forgot about thatGnash
- ^ no thx
never going to try monkey poop coffee and will never try this as well.pango
