    Essentially, they gave us tablets for an augmented reality experience and the icebergs acted as large 3D QR codes upon which 3D scenes would show up. You could zoom in to specific sections to see and hear small animations.

    Canada needs to step up its cheese curd exporting because it’s friggin’ impossible to find any here in Japan and not being able to eat proper poutine for years at a time is detrimental to my health.

      The problem with cheese curds is that they turn into regular cheddar cheese about a week or 2 after being made. Basically impossible to export unless you wanna pay for air freight

        The even bigger problem is how you have to rape a vulnerable individual and murder her children to get them. But yeah, losing the squeak, that sucks, man. Kind of makes all the atrocity not worth it, eh?

    And now Japan thinks Canadians wear flashy 80’s style headbands.

          What I think is even funnier, as someone who moved around the country a lot, is it’s often thought of as a regional thing when it’s actually ubiquitous.

          In Victoria BC, it’s called a Langford Dinner Jacket. But if you’re a blue-collar working class Canadian anywhere in the country, it’s more likely than not you own or have owned one of these (which is good, 'cause they’re a good warm layer).

    Calling poutine being “Canadian” food is cultural appropriation against Quebec.

    As a Quebecer, I firmly stand my ground. Not sorry.

    But cool visit!!!

      Canadian poutine is when they use cheap mozzarella cheese or any white cheese to make a greasy tasteless mess of food.

      Quebec poutine is when they use actual cheese curds with piping hot beef heavy to make a greasy tasty mess of food.

      There is a difference and most people don’t know until they’ve been to Quebec and had a real poutine there.

        It’s the difference between pou-teen and pou-tine.

            Nope, St. Albert. They make the cheese curds typically used by the fine men and women who operate the grease shacks in the Ottawa Valley.

            I think my ban from Quebec for calling St. Hubert Quebec’s answer to Swiss Chalet expires soon.

      Calling this: ■ a quadrilateral is cultural appropriation against rectangles.

      I agree. Quebec is in no way Canadian and as a Canadian I am appalled people pretend it is.

      Our national foods are nanaimo bars and donair.

      Putine sucks shit anyway.

        Haha yes a fellow Canadian! We are all so united by our disdain for eachother, it’s heartwarming!

        Nanaimo bars are overhyped. Poutine is the shit!
