Canadians go home. I never knew that Canada was considered a healthy nation.

Fuck they have New Jersey so close.

All this talk of poutine made me hungry.



This is not exactly a traditional poutine, but damn it was good. I should have gotten a small though since I had Jalapeno poppers too.

I grew up in Saskatchewan, and it was pretty fat. However, according to that graph, it is less fat than most of the US. Ouch.

BTW, an interesting tidbit:

When Tim Hortons expanded their coffee chain into the US, they had to upsize all of their cup sizes. Medium in Canada was a small in the US. Large in Canada was a medium in the US.

However, it rubbed off back in Canada. After doing this in the US, they did the same in Canada... which is fine by me since I used to always get the medium, but now I get the small which is the same size for less money.

Coffee is fattening?
