I'm not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/

Intimacy coordinators aren't explaining how sex works to the actors, but helping to make sure that they're comfortable with each other & what they're being asked to do. They're analogous to stunt coordinators in that way.

Part of this is helping actors to work through or find accommodations when they could be running up against situations that could trigger old traumas. So if one party has a history of assault, for example, the intimacy coordinator will work with them and their scene partner to make sure that what they're acting out doesn't mimic/mirror their experience.

Does that make sense?

They look like they're probably "Naughty Marietta" marigolds (#21 on this list: https://gardenerspath.com/plants/flowers/best-marigold-varieties/). Could also be "Legion of Honour" (#14).

You replied to a comment instead of the OP, so your answer looks a little funny from being out of context, that's all.

My spouse and I were broke grad students with a baby on the way. We needed a car. Someone in our tiny town was selling a 1992 Accord for $1000 (this was in the early 2010s). We bought it and put in another $1000 to get it to run.

The only problem? It was a stick shift. I didn't know how to drive standard; at the time, my spouse didn't drive at all. I tried to learn, but I was so nauseated from my pregnancy that I nearly puked every time the car lurched... which was often. I never did get the hang of it. Eventually we bought a newer automatic car and traded the Accord in for a whopping $250.

These days we could weather a $2000 mistake without too many problems, but back then... yeah, that one hurt.

I use a mix of the two depending on the word.

Hello, may I introduce you to Canadian English?

They'd be a bit young for that, I think. It is a great museum though.

Pulled pork:

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced, on the bottom layer
  • A piece of pork (shoulder is probably best but I've also done tenderloin), trimmed
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce poured over the meat

Cook about 3-4h on high or 6-8ish on low. Remove pork, shred with a fork, return to slow cooker & stir everything up together before serving.

That's great, thank you! We lived in the city in our single/DINK days so a number of these weren't even on my radar. I had no idea you can water taxi to QC now! That might be a fun one.

I get that, though it does have some cool features (the Science Center is fantastic). But that trip was to see particular people rather than the city itself. We'll miss them, but we also don't feel super safe crossing the border right now.
