watch revue starlight

revue starlight megafan, queen of yuri, and cohost's foremost Alice Margatroid enjoyer. no doubles


and it's very nice up here, but i have some specific complaints:

  1. There are no Insomnia Cookies in Canada. There is not a single fucking place in Vancouver who will deliver you fresh cookies at 2:30AM. Non-USians I know this may sound insane but across our country there is a chain of stores that specializes in selling cookies to stoners in university. it's beautiful, and i just... i didn't know how good we had it.

  2. You cannot get a single goddamn good frozen pizza in this godforsaken country. all of the Canadian brands are shit. and i don't mean just digiorno shit. i would kill if it meant the save-on would carry digiorno. the best i've found is called like... casa di mama? but it sucks ass. what the hell, Canada

  3. the white-market edible scene in Canada is fucking dire. tiny doses that you have to buy one at a time... in so many places in the US i can find a dispensary that'll sell me the Good Shit. Washington, California, even New York now i think. i heard that quebec has like, cauliflower edibles, and it made me want to cry.

  4. it's weird how packaging for familiar brands looks different here because of having to be bilingual. it definitely weirded me out a lot when we first moved. 4a. ALSO A BUNCH OF AMERICAN CHAINS ADD A MAPLE LEAF TO THEIR LOGO??? MCDONALDS AND DENNYS BOTH DO THIS. THIS ISN'T A REAL COUNTRY!!!!!!!

  5. speaking of brands, here's another they don't have here: Malt-o-meal. where am i gonna get my fucking, giant bags of offbrand cereal that taste better than the originals?? i used to mix some cocoa dyno-bites in with my cheerios in the morning and cocoa pebbles just aren't the same.

  6. there isn't like, a good wings chain either? they've got pizza hut's "wingstreet" thing and that's it. i would take either buffalo wild wings or wingstop over this.

  7. it's fucking weird that i have a king. what the fuck? mods?

  8. shipping is expensive and the postal service is worse. what's the deal with that, canada? why is canada post worse than USPS?

that's everything for now.

Just hope you never have to fly within the country. Pretty sure going Vancouver -> Toronto is so expensive that you're better off crossing the border twice and doing Seattle -> Detroit :( stuff like that and shipping and phone plans are generally more expensive cause the population is so small compared to the land area

Also Canada probably the only country I can think of with a logo? You see it sometimes on stuff like ovens or fridges?? It's the word "Canada" with a flag over the last 'a'. This absolutely isn't a real country, you're right

yeah there's a bunch of stuff that's more expensive for whatever reason... though weirdly getting stuff from Japan is roughly the same price because Vancouver is such a big port lmao

and yeah the Canada logo is so wild! it's on like every municipal service and it's so weird. fake country
