Today's #Canadian #shibboleth

How to tell if "sorry" is just "fuck you" in code:

Unless someone specifically says "I'm sorry" it's probably "fuck you", except if someone uses "sorry" as an interjection like "Yeah sorry I was gonna (x)". If you step on someone's foot and they say "sorry" they aren't apologizing. It's short for "Look where ta fuck yer goin buddy before I fuckin dummy ya right here."

Tomorrow: How to tell where someone is from depending on how they pronounce "Toronto".

#Canada

Since my initial post that Campbell's has inaccurate "prepared in Canada" packaging, a few people have been countering with this CBC article - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/buying-canadian-trade-war-freshco-1.7475613
This CBC article is only situationally accurate.

There are different versions of Campbell's packaging. Some say "designed in Canada". Some say "prepared in Canada". Some say nothing. Some list the address as Mississauga, some as Toronto.

I don't make claims without receipts ;)

I'm going to start calling this mapleturfing. Fuck US goods pretending to be Canadian.

Campbells' soup sold in Canada now has a maple leaf on the label. Their website has had a maple leaf next to their logo since October 2023.

Campbell's has not had Canadian manufacturing since 2018 when they shut down their last Canadian plant.

I wondered how far I live from where I was born. Only 622 km, barely more than one major city to the next in Canada. Ho hum.

Then I overlaid it over Europe:
Paris, London, all of Benelux, Köln...
Suddenly I feel like an adventurer haha

The world's entire population could be easily housed and fed with only 30% of the current global labour output - our collective suffering is manufactured by capitalism.

All this talk of CEOS being afraid is making me thirsty
