I found a book of Canadian Trivia I got in one of those Scholastic book orders when I was kid and here’s some of my favourite shit from it
Every day Canadians eat about 60 million slices of bread
Moose were once used in Edmonton, my hometown, to haul mail
Around 200,000 people in Montreal have leases that expire on June 30 and that sounds like a fun little coincidence until you realize that this means that the city becomes overrun by around 200,000 people all moving on the same day
There’s a golf course outside of Justin Bieber’s hometown that rents out llamas as caddies
There’s a special type of hat made in Canada that comes with its own instruction manual and is apparently so durable that other than needing some serious washing, one guy found it in perfect condition after being eaten by an elephant three times
When New France was first founded, they had an 8-strike law against profanity after which your tongue would be cut out
200 years ago we burned the god damn White House down (I already knew that one)
In the various legislatures, there are different rules regarding what you can and cannot call another member of that governing body - in Alberta, they have a specific rule against “fat wingless duck”
In 1965, the Ministry of Education in Quebec installed a computer to mark their Grade 11 provincial exams and it proceeded to fuck up all 7000 of them
You flip a coin to see who gets to go first; whoever loses has to perform oral on the other person for ten minutes straight (set a timer!) The goal of the game is to make the other person cum first.
If, in the first ten minutes, the person does not cum, you switch positions and go for another ten minutes. And if the second person doesn’t cum, you go back to the original position for ten minutes. So on and so forth until someone loses by cumming.
Loser has to buy dinner and finish the other person off in whatever manner they choose.
Hooray for another day of selling my soul for eight hours straight so I can earn $4.15 an hour while the Russian chicks I work with pretend that they don’t understand the customers and make me help them take orders.
