When do they have time for donuts? Does Tim Hortons serve poutine? My knowledge of all things Canadian is apalling.
love the woke-style seapunk hair contrasting with the rest of the package
He’s a sensitive soul.
Probably an emotional eater. Gonna need three poutine-cheesesteaks at least
Uhh no way are we getting annexed by that atrocity.
Yikes
If there was any metaphor about Canada and the US joining as one, this would be it.
The Philly cheesesteak has meat in it. Poutine has no nutritional value whatsoever.
And that’s the way we likes it!
It has potatoes. If potatoes have no nutritional value then why do the Irish depend on it to survive? 
Millions of Irish died because of the potato. It is a vile vegetable.
I’m of Norman-Welsh southwestern heritage, if that matters. Got serious pirate blood in me, mate.
Not because of the potato. Food exports from Ireland continued despite widespread starvation.
Cheese curds for protein, potato is a vegetable, runny gravy has a high water content, the whole thing is rich in minerals (er, mostly salt)
Another myth for me: Taiwan is so convenient
I really don’t see it. Basically nothing here seems more convenient than other places I have lived, while lots of things are far less convenient.
Ok, there are a lot of convenience stores, but that’s largely a byproduct of the high population density which contributes to the traffic and parking inconveniences
In defence of Taiwan:
The mixed use of space in urban centers certainly makes the distances between “residential” and “commercial” more compact, especially compared to North American suburbs. Maybe that is part of what “convenient” means here.
And when I think about filing taxes in Taiwan versus filing taxes in my northern homeland, I also think that things are way simpler and often more convenient here, with tax regulations I can actually understand!
Guy
Every other foreign country where I worked I had a tax free salary. Can’t get more convenient than that.
In Taiwan, they take more than they need in case I’m here less than half the year, and sit on it collecting interest. So I’m waiting until August or September 2025 to get money that was actually paid to me in January 2024.
But hey, at least they can afford to give extra cash back to citizens. Not me, though, I just live here and pay taxes.
Sorry, the taxes are an overall fail for me
Maybe. Maybe they should describe it more accurately as “densely populated and not much separation from farms or heavy industry so wear a mask”
My own experience with Taiwanese food - which I think is the same for many of us foreigners who have been in Taiwan for a while - is that at the beginning, the food seems incredible, but after a few weeks or months, you quickly realise that it’s very samey and generally low quality, not to mention not nearly as cheap (in relation to the salaries we’re likely to have working in TW) as it’s often made out to be. For that reason, tourists constantly rave about how Taiwan is some kind of “food paradise”. I don’t think they’re necessarily wrong, because it is a great place for food for short-term visitors. This is why I’m not entirely sure that it’s a “myth”.
I also wonder what country in the world is the food so great and diverse that you don’t get tired of it after living there for a while. Indian food is my favourite, but I can’t imagine the reality of eating it every day, long-term, in India, would be that pleasant.
