Are Americans ceding the high ground on ice Hockey \ You’re going to have to drop the “ice” and just call it “hockey” if you ever want to pass for a Canadian. 😃 > [@Dr.Drake](#): > > First poutine and now this. I have to warn you, if you ever come visit: > > You’re in for some very passionate conversations where people will politely express the opposite opinion. “Well, that’s your opinion. I’m not sure I agree with you.” ---

> [@LawMonkey](#): > > No, it’s actually the opposite: Maple syrup is so amazingly good, you won’t be able to accept anything else once you’ve had it. You’ll find yourself patronizing diners based solely on whether they have the real deal, or worse yet, you’ll start taking in your own maple syrup to otherwise acceptable places that cheap out with the colored corn syrup. Utter nonsense! I’ve had Canadian maple syrup. I’ve had Canadian maple syrup that actual Canadians assured me was great stuff. I still say Log Cabin and Aunt Jemimah are better. No ifs, ands or buts. ---
