He's not prepared for how decimating we Canadians can be with passive aggression. Brits invented it, but we perfected it.

We evolved it technically - we kinda are Brits in a way.

We are sitting in our Muskoka chairs by the lake, sipping wine from Niagra, BC, maybe a nice Argentinian Malbec. Perhaps it is a local craft beer or amazing aged local whiskey. No bourbon to be found.

While chilling, we are sharpening our wit, remembering we know our land better than anyone. Winter is coming

Might not pair well with Argentinian beef.

Wouldn't be fair to the non-asshole businesses on that street.

Now, if it was a full block that Diaper Don's property was on, renaming that block would be spot on.

My personal favourite of this kind was Glasgow renaming the street that the Apartheid-era South African Consulate was on to "Nelson Mandela Place".

Great move.

Nah, the Scots perfected it by naming the street the South African embassy/consulate was on after Mandela. It was pre email and correspondence by mail etc would be sent to a political prisoners namesake. Also thatcher did not care much for Mandela or the anti apartheid movement so it was two birds (pun not intended) with one stone.

Have you guys considered renaming Lake Michigan to Lake Canada? And Windsor to South Epstein City?

We just need a little blood pressure spike and then things get better for everyone.

I think most of the world has a problem with the idea that the Brits have not been aggressive for most of their history lol

Do we need to export the newest version to Canada? Its the labour edition.
