He got at least partially Canadianized mid post switching from miles to kilometres.
Op writing they walked 3km of 4 miles feels very canadian
Do Canadians use both units?
One of the most confusing places to be in is a Canadian machine shop. Half the machines will be imperial and the other will be metric. Work order come in both units on the regular.
Officially, they use the metric system, but because of the close contact with the US, many things are measured in imperial units
We use all of the units; my prints generally list pipe diameter in inches, but length in millimetres
I hate Canadians.
Those shifty bastards are hiding something.
Yeah, it's dead children under our residential schools.
Sorry?
Son, sit down there's something we have to tell you.
Anon is either white or they come from the same area in the world as the immigrant family that they met.
Canada is like high key racist now. Thanks MAGA, and your interest in Alberta resources
If Anon was a native woman they wouldn't have lived to make the post
Ah yes, survivor bias raises its head again!
(Sorry. I'm the worst : 🧡🧡🧡)
We were racist before MAGA
Thunder Bay has been a race war for decades. If a crime happens in the white part of town it’s likely the aboriginal people and if it happens in the aboriginal part of town it’s likely white people. I was nice to an aboriginal person once when I was there and he started crying then hugged me. You can guess which side the police actually investigate
racism exists everywhere, don’t blame the US for what already was there
I mean.. sure.. but you can't say they're not making it worse and feeding into it for profit
don’t blame the US for what already was there
Flips on American television
Black people are committing crimes! Latinos are doing drugs! Arabs are terrorists! Chinese people are cheating on tests and stealing your jobs! Everyone in India is trying to scam you!!!
Now back to our regularly scheduled movie about a cool White Nationalist who fights back by shooting everyone with a big gun!
Damn, crazy how this was all here before Americans arrived.
Canada is like high key racist now.
Canada has a good reputation on how not racist they are, but really all that racism is directed at Indigenous people. You'll be fine for the most part as long as one doesn't stay in the prairies for too long.
maybe before lockdown. we became budget maga about a quarter of the way into lockdown.
Literally. Not MCGA, but MAGA with cast-off paraphernalia from the 2020 US election. And Freedom stickers. And more F*ck Trudeau merchandise.

Make small talk with random people you meet.

People offer to drive you around, so you hitchhike everywhere
"Wow everyone in Canada is so nice! They give you a ride wherever you want to go, practically for free."

Travel to NYC
-
Ride the subway all the way across town for, like, $2
-
Random people keep trying to make small talk on the train when you've got your headphones in
"Fuck NY, these people are assholes."
I've never understood the New Yorkers are assholes reputation. They're some of the nicest people I've ever met.
I had a map out, guy asks where I'm trying to go, I tell him the Met. He starts giving me directions. Another guy overhears and stops to argue with him about the best way to send me there. It was the newyorkiest thing I've ever seen. "He doesn't want to go that way, send him this way", "if you want to send him that way you might as well send him this other way".
