Question for you: are pretty much all of the users Canadian or in Canada? Is it possible to tell?

Canadian Candy?
Maynards is made in Canada. Not Canadian owned, but made in Canada. Fuzzy peaches are brilliant.

Yup. If you can't fix it yourself, ** you don't own it.**

Did you see the news story last week about citrus growing on Vancouver Island? Supposedly it can be grown for pennies per fruit as long as the plants are covered and given a bit of warmth in cold weather (the guy in the story was using old-fashioned outdoor Xmas lights). Obviously it's not being grown at scale on the Island but the fact that it could be is interesting.

What's your top 5 favorite horror films?
Return of the Living Dead is so re-watchable. You might want to throw me out of the group but I mainly like B-horror and the classics, so stuff like Bela in Dracula, Spookies, Uninvited, and There's Nothing Out There and straight-up weird foreign stuff like VIY. That last one I'd recommend to anyone who isn't scared off by subtitles because the ending really is a great payoff. Some recent stuff I've liked is Barbarian, Talk to Me, and The Substance. Also, a hard agree on It Follows. They did borrow the ending from CHUD II...

US Development Program
Fewer Canadians are signing up for youth hockey: "Over 15 years, the number of kids under 18 playing hockey fell by 33%. This is from 523,785 in 2010 to 340,365 in 2022". Covid aside, I think a lot of this is because Canadian pro teams haven't won the cup since they were still putting out NHL games for Super Nintendo. It's been that long! How can Canada stay on top if no one wins and people stop caring?

I heard a lot of people singing O Canada. But then the USA chant started and it felt like any episode of Jerry Springer

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What Canadian products do you recommend?
If you are doing some gardening this spring, look to see where your products are made! I recommend this Canadian brand, which is widely available in western Canada and parts of the east: My Gardening Products

I've noticed a lot of people on Bulk Barn's facebook page spamming them with requests for clear country of origin labels for every product. Hopefully they act on it.

Empty net goal aside, the US Canada game was very close on the scoreboard and in shots. Let's go Canada and get into the game on Thursday!

Amazon is selling products calling Canada the 51st state, and many Canadians aren't happy
I've been using Amazon since the only thing they sold was books, back in the early aughts. No more!

Enjoy the game, everyone. I know the outcome I'm hoping for - a great game and a Canadian win. On paper, they've got a great goalie but Canada has the best scorers.

I got Leprechaun Returns, too (think I found it for a few bucks somewhere) thinking it was going to probably be awful. It was surprisingly good! Then I realized it was directed by national treasure, Steven Kostanski.
