this year in Vancouver they painted rainbow crosswalks for PRIDE, turns out the city loved them so much they are keeping them permanently!
I found out about this and thought it was so cool I had to upload a picture
photo creds: x
so I did a thing
DéRRRoule le rebord pour gagner!!!!

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
Happy Canada Day!
