Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-25

[Grey Fox]

Yes probably is. Let's give them all to Ukraine and buy SK K2s.

[Josquius]

Canada is exporting 4 more Leopard tanks to Ukraine.
One more shipment like this and Canada will be all out of tanks.

It'll be a good time for Quebec to invade Canada and liberate poutine, our national dish, unfairly appropriated by Canada...

No seriously, it's kinda pitiful to see the state our army has fell into.

Cheesy chips with gravy is the most northern thing one could imagine.
It's strange in recent years to hear of it spoken as a special Canadian delicacy.

This could get ugly.

This could get ugly. 

Could?

What specifically are you referring to?

[Admiral Yi]

What specifically are you referring to?

Squeeze's cultural appropriation of poutine. 

[Sheilbh]

Weirdly last time I was in Glasgow there were loads of Canadian poutine focused recipes, precisely because I can't imagine a food more designed to appeal to Scots

What specifically are you referring to?

Squeeze's cultural appropriation of poutine. 

  I thought something terrible had happened in Ukraine.

But yes. Typical English trying to steal Montreal's glorious culture.

[Sheilbh]

Hopefully this'll defuse it

It's not cultural appropriation - Jos is just wrong because poutine, from my understanding, doesn't include cheese (as in grated cheddar) but cheese curds. I think that's important and they're two different things, right?

Two different things.

Do youse guys not do cheese curds?  It's a fairly common snack over here, and the basis of the world's finest bar food, the cheese ball.

[Sheilbh]

I don't think so - think I've seen them in a Polish shop/Polish bits of the supermarket but that's it.

There cottage cheese but I think that's different too.

Poutine is not Canadian. It is Québécois.

Drummondville or somewhere in the area is most likely where it was invented, actually.

[Jacob]

Poutine is Quebecois, but Quebec is still part of Canada. Thus poutine is also Canadian.

[Grey Fox]

That's insulting.

No part of my Quebec culture is Canadian. They spent 250 years calling us Canadian has a derogatory term opposite to their English nation and then co-opted the name when they needed an identity independent of England.
