🏆 A Canadian classic takes the world stage. Chapman’s Pecan Butter Tart Premium Ice Cream earned the Best Ice Cream award at the International Ice Cream Conference in Argentina. 🇦🇷 Inspired by an iconic Canadian dessert, this flavour proved that a true Canadian favourite could win hearts globally. 🌎

I think my ability to distinguish between "I am feeling weirdly anxious and low today" and "I am just a person having a totally normal reaction to being alive during the 2020s" might have completely vanished.

Buckle up, friends. This is going to be a thread. A thread of thanksgiving, my gratitude for the people of the city and the province I love. The people who stood united to defeat a dark and narrow vision of Alberta's future. The people who stood in defence of Canada. 🧵 #Alberta #Canada #yeg

Mom and dad aren't mad, they’re just disappointed that you experimented with separation.

The rotting corpse of Canada's national magazine saw fit to print a first-person account of how a 23-year-old Alberta separatist was radicalized because a mask fogged up her glasses during COVID. Honest to Zeus, this is the dumbest fucking timeline...

"Why are loons so low in the water" is such a great question, I want to explore it. See, loons have SOLID bones. Ducks have HOLLOW bones. But why? Well, ducks generally don't dive beyond 10 ft (~3 m) while loons routinely dive down to 30 ft (10 m), but can reach 200 ft in pursuit of fish.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Folks this takes less than 30 seconds to sign. It's incredibly important to stop this.

We need more men like Dan Levy and fewer men like Shane Gillis. Stop being complacent. Stand up and call this shit out when it happens. www.instagram.com/p/DeYSYNXMcbH/

Here's what they don't tell you about woodpecker tongues: Some of them are barbed (pileated & downy 'peckers) to allow them to spear insects. The barbs are keratinized, so *hard*. Meaning woodpecker *threat displays* can involve poking an interloper with a barbed tongue. (📷: u/ElvisIsNotDjed)
