DYING at the Canadians in the Zoom talking about The Friendly Giant and the Americans being like "WTF there was a chicken in a bag nailed to the wall?!"

YES AND THIS MADE US WHAT WE ARE. WHY ALL CANADIAN HOMES HAVE A BAG CHICKEN ON THE WALL.
Heard an interview with a Canadian doc who'd moved to US. She told child to "look up, way up" and the child looked at her like she was out of her mind, instead of immediately answering "and I'll call Rusty."

Hey, Happy Thanksgiving this weekend, everyone:My mom and dad were perfect parents back in the 80s: they smoked, let me roam the neighborhood starting at age 7, and never once helped me with my homework

CBC is getting roasted for a ridiculous tweet about a $200+ Thanksgiving dinner for four.Canadian thanksgiving is a tier one holiday. No gifting stress, no pressure to have fun like NYE, excellent food, feels "alt" vs the bloated American version, no religious stuff or pilgrims just a vague "harvest" theme, stuffing, 10/10

Moving on, I am enjoying the "pitchbot" tweets -- these are satirical parody media accounts that skewer the typical story-pitches of news organizations. The first, still best, is the New York Times Pitchbot, by Doug J of Balloon Juice fame, who unerringly comes up with the typical NYT "take" on any story - featuring meaningless contrarianism, plus dumb interviews with Ohio Trump supporters in diners.BREAKING: according to @CBCNews The cost of a classic roast turkey dinner with all the fixings now comes in at a total cost of $34,156 if you include the cost of a new car to get it home.

The real winner in the explosion that destroyed the bridge connecting mainland Russia to Crimea? Floria Governor Ron DeSantis.

Here are some of the other pitchbots:A Montessori preschool excursion to a hippie-tinged corn maize/farm market might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the lullaby of a Rickie Lee Jones-Dan Hicks duet, you can hear whispers that Biden is the reason the cider slushy costs four bucks.

Suggestion for the White House. Have Joe promise to drop one f-bomb somewhere in the speech. They'd all broadcast the whole thing.
