Canada

I hate strategic voting and I'm holding my nose and voting for Carney anyway to keep Polievre out. I wish the NDP wasn't such a mess. But I don't want Canada to get into bed with the orange rapist.

I mean, sure, it's not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).

And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not "Canada-aware" for most of my life.

I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.

Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.

I shall visit soon and I hope you can take the chance to teach me more in the meanwhile.

Footage surfaced today on the Kelowna subreddit of a fight that occurred around the area of the 18th tee box at Two Eagles Golf Course.

It shows what appears to be two groups getting into a verbal altercation that quickly turns physical, with one man losing his shirt and being knocked to the ground by a punch.

The Reddit poster alleges that the incident began when a member of the trailing foursome hit into the slower group in front, and the man who lost his shirt suffered a broken jaw.
