I hesitate to think what Canadians will do once the step runs dry. They might stop saying sorry altogether.
When sorry ends I hate to be a bother begins.
They could invade Maine which would kick off the Maple wars. They’ll start to eye Vermont and New Hampshire next. The US population will be powerless to resist as the Canadians lull the domestic population into submission with free healthcare and Tim Hortons.
they can keep the Tim Hortons, though.
I'll take the free healthcare.
Honestly, Canada could take everything north of a line between Pittsburg, NH and Calais, ME (essentially lining up with the NY/VT northern border), and nobody would bat an eye. There's nothing but trees up there.
Deal. You guys get Alberta and Saskatchewan. Then they can secede with Texas and a handfull of the bible belt states.
Take away my Krispy Kreme and then you'll find out the true meaning of war.
the last time they stopped saying sorry, we've had to write the geneva convention
they're going to unleash the geese.
just because they're heroes, doesn't mean they're not assholes.
I mean, they pretty much had the same solution as a Marvel Super Hero. (and the same rate of collateral deaths, probably.)
To quote the Frank Zappa song Titties 'n Beer: That's very very true.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
I suggest you let that one marinade
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Goddamn bot preserving my spelling mistake for posterity 😄
Just in time to overthrow the US Whitehouse... Again. We burned it down once before, we'll do it again
It's the only thing that keeps their rage at bay...
corn syrup lurking in the shadows
I make syrup out of the tree(s) in my yard.
It’s true. It was such a weird year weather wise that I only got about 2 bottles of syrup. Normally I can get like… 8-10?
A lot of people don’t really know how sap production works, but it really is a pretty limited window
That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree (or some other kinds), go buy a $20 tap or whatever from Amazon. It’s fun and surprisingly piss easy to make syrup at home.
That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree
Unless you're an elf baking cookies, we all live outside of maple trees :-D
Wait, Canadians don't love in maple trees?
They love on them. Tap that bark.
no no, no. they're hobits. the maple trees are ontop of their mounds.
All good, Legault seems to think we can survive off of replacing the roof on our piece of shit stadium, no need to fix the environment.
The Maple Mafia has reserve reserves.
I saw a documentary that claims the people who run the maple cartel have like a decades worth in warehouses
The arrogant bastards!
IIRC, the big drop from 2020 to 2021 was due to "inventury corrections", i.e. someone has "mislaid" large amounts and they had to correct to official amount.
Has the culprit been found?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
