Very based of the Carney government IMO. The most 'elbows up' stance would be to intentionally reject former American influences and purposefully adopt more British spellings in standard Canadian English.

Our sovereignty and cultural identity isn't under threat from the UK, it is under threat from the USA.

Bonus: we could use the phrase "speak the King's English" more often - its one step away from monocles being back in fashion.

If it makes you feel better, Colt seems to be owned by a Czech company now.

Based on the kind of person I was at 16, no thanks.

I remember this, after I was told I was learning France French I was a bit confused. Why wouldn't we be learning Quebecois?

To be fair, I was a bad student so I wasn't actually learning either...

Very nice. Now let's see Canada's ~~business card~~ measurement flowchart.

Spelling errors on professional documents, especially signs/posters/ads. You don't have to know everything, but you have to check before putting it up.

When I see restaurant specials boards riddled with mistakes it makes me want to not eat there.

Seeing something available on Linux NOT on other platforms makes me scared and confused

Now give it a headphone jack and I can finally replace my 3a XL

I'd only recommend Proton if a) you're already paying for their suite or b) you're not using Linux. Otherwise, Mullvad is the way to go IMO.
