@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
Everyone knows that Canada's 243,000 km of coastline are the longest in the world. At a pace of about 20 km each day, the stroll would take 33 years. Inside of that long shoreline, did you know that Canada is divided into seven physiographic regions? We're not talking mind altering drugs but instead reference the distinct geological formation that defines the landscape. The Canadian Shield, with the oldest exposed rocks on the planet, dominates the centre of the country with stable immovable bedrock. Kinda like Toronto being the centre of the universe. Each physiographic region gives that area of our country unique features and scenery that provides us with a seemingly inexhaustible opportunity to explore. I should be writing travel brochures...

@david@boles.xyzThe Curated Self as the New Delusion
There is a specific, modern anxiety that is difficult to name. It is not the dread of a specific event, but a low-grade, constant hum of disconnection. It’s the feeling of living in a world that is eerily frictionless, a world that reflects your own thoughts back at you with placid, unwavering agreement. It is the anxiety of a consensus of one; the quiet, digital loneliness of being the only person in your own universe.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
B.C. is full of hipsters, Alberta is oil obsessed, Ontario has a superiority complex, PEI prays to potatoes, and all Newfies drink Screech at breakfast. Every Province and Territory is known for their unique habits, culture, and views of the world. And we all hold expectations and misconceptions of our neighbours across internal borders. Hey, it's a long winter and we need some gossip to get us to the end of it.
The attached video provides a detailed rundown of stereotypes for each Province and Territory, and some of the content is accurate, like Toronto being the centre of the universe. It's a bit long but you can select a chapter to check out your Province, or one that you dislike. My favourite is Albertans pouring oil on their cereal.
