The US should annex Canada and show them the wonders of having a real constitution. They don't get to vote though. Their track record with the franchise has been less than stellar

Tim's is shit. They swapped coffee vendors with McD's some time ago. McD's is now "pretty good" and only a buck.

For the Canucks: Differences between good and bad poutine?

For the Canucks: Differences between good and bad poutine?

Good poutine requires cheese curds, preferably mozerella. If shredded or cheddar is used, it's not real poutine.

Probably what most Murican's think poutine looks like:

A good and proper poutine:

Another good and proper poutine:

See the difference?

A bit of cross over but it makes me seriously laugh how JY rags on immigrants but takes up so much emergency resources. There was a huge backlash a couple years ago about new residents using the ER as a walk-in clinic and then there we have JY doing the same god damn thing.

Is that the newspeak term for immigrants now. Illegal or otherwise? "New Residents?"

Look at yourself, using their language without even noticing it. You have a terminal case lad.

Cheese curds. Not mozzarella, nor cheddar. Curds. As in curdled milk. Or as wikipedia puts it:

"Cheese curds are made from fresh pasteurized milk in the process of creating cheese when bacterial culture and rennet are added to clot the milk.[1] After the milk clots it is then cut into cubes; the result is a mixture of whey and curd. This mixture is then cooked and pressed to release the whey from the curd, creating the final product of cheese curd"

The other thing that Yanks don't know they're missing: Nanaimo bars. You just don't have them, but you need them.

Cheese curds. Not mozzarella, nor cheddar. Curds. As in curdled tard cum. Or as wikipedia puts it:

"Cheese curds are made from fresh pasteurized tard cum in the process of creating cheese when bacterial culture and rennet are added to clot the tard cum.[1] After the tard cum clots it is then cut into cubes; the result is a mixture of whey and curd.

I feel like a bad Canuck for not knowing that. It's basically a heart attack on a plate so I don't eat it very often.

Canada is what happens when a country has no sense of pride, zero identification with their past, and no guns.

We have lot's of guns, plenty of pride, and every time you've tried to take us over, we've burned your whitehouse to the ground. We also have plenty of snow, so that probably slows y'all down too. God save the queen, pass the poutine.

Absolutely not you heathen. You can't just dump a bunch of shit you found in the fridge on fries and call it poutine. Poutine is fries, gravy and very squeaky curds.

AND NOTHING ELSE.

Sssshhhhh.... Don't tell that to anyone from Quebec then. They put all sorts of wonderful dead meat and garnish on top of theirs. Not like Quebecois would know anything about poutine. It's like they stole it from the west and destroyed it with savoury additions.

Oh wait... We stole it and dumbed it down to exactly the thing you described.

You can put whatever you want on your fries bro. But you then have fries and whatever you put on it. It's the curds and gravy that make poutine. In that order. Add some pulled pork or beef and you're still in the ballpark, but for real, are you telling me it isn't the curds and gravy that by definition make poutine? Dude, I've seen people put nothing but butter chicken on fries and try and call it poutine. Whats your definition of poutine then Monsieur Quebecois?

Fries and curds and a splash of hot gravy to melt the curds. Topped with some smokes or pulled pork, or some roast beef, topped off with a few greens and another splash of gravy.

And I'm not Quebecois. West coaster, but Montreal does have some class to it. Ever had Montreal smoked meat?

Ehh I’m not going back up anytime soon so I should be good.

Spent a few weeks up there with a UoT student and Jesus fuck I never want to look at a kraft box ever again.

Yeah. KD and ketchup is a staple food for starving students. Back in the day we used the coffee pot for KD and ramen noodles.
