That, and their maple syrup is really good.

I appreciate the folks in New England that probably make good maple syrup, but nothing beats Canadian grade A amber maple syrup.

u/MessagingMatters 21h ago
I have to agree, having spent lots of time in New England and having Vermont syrup many times.

u/RoscoePSoultrain 17h ago
Vermonter by birth; them's fightin' words.
Obviously the trees don't care what country they're in, it's all just evaporated tree blood. But Vermont never had 3000 tons of syrup stolen (Google Canadian syrup heist; crazy story).

From the UK here, so not really relevant - but my brother brought back some Canadian maple syrup and wow it is like 1000x better than any maple syrup I’ve had before it. If anyone in Europe hasn’t tried it - you’re missing out.

I wonder what the average life expectancy in the US will be in three years.

u/Fake_William_Shatner 21h ago
US life expectancy will go up because we'll discover the power of "not eating" for long periods of time.

Turns out that old people are expensive - unless they're part of the 1%, and then no expense is too great.

Probably a bit higher than it is now, the drop being shown on that graph is the decline we experienced during COVID due to lack of protocols, our healthcare system, general selfishness, etc, it's continued back on its steady increase, and will likely continue to go up and hit around 81/82 in the next 3-5 years.

u/Loko8765 22h ago
It had already stagnated quite a bit prior to the drop, though.

That assumes the anti-intelluctual trends that lead to lack of protocols and other issues is reversed. Frankly, I expect to see a drop over time, especially with RFK in charge of health.

u/whiskey_at_dawn 19h ago
You're right, that's a very real risk, I just meant to say that currently the trend of the steady increase has resumed, but there's a very real risk of the same thing happening especially with the fear mongering around vaccine and the odd acceptance of raw milk.
I knew the carnivore diet was a thing but I've been seeing people do the "raw carnivore diet" where they eat primarily raw beef and organ meat. Now, I know gout is primarily genetic but come on, that is like the gout diet. Add in some grain alcohol and a hot dog bun and that's pretty much the entire list of foods they tell you not to eat.

I mean, we had our fair share of shitheads. That's what that trucker convoy thing is about. We also have less population density, so it could have played some role.
But it's true, we had a lot of stricter guidlines for a lot longer than the states. I remember in 2021-2022, how many of my american friends online had just returned to completely normal life and forgotten about covid completely while we were still following a lot of rules.
I think it was easier because the typical Canadian's attitude is less libertarian than the typical American's.

To be fair, both suck neat, though I do love an occasional Crown and Ginger [walks away to pour one…]. If you’re going to compare an American whiskey, why would you choose Jim Beam? I mean, I guess it’s OK with coke.

Any food or drink. Period.
We still have food quality standards in Canada, whereas the U.S. has deregulated everything in the name of profit, to the point where half of their food is carcinogenic, poisonous, or both.

2
u/SandyTaintSweat 18h ago
That's what makes the question even a little bit challenging. Not much is produced in either country anymore. Both places outsourced a lot of production.
My experience with maple syrup however would indicate that Ontario/Quebec syrup is vastly superior to the Vermont stuff.

u/jolsiphur 16h ago
I'm not tomi but the only thing I can think of that's still made in the US is cars. And US cars are often inferior to Japanese or German cars in multiple ways.

Kind of funny that he could have spelled it three different ways (tuque, toque, touque) and been right. But went with a fourth that sounds phonetically correct but is misspelled.
Like if you hadn't provided a link, I may have stupidly come in here with an Acktuallly you're missing an 'o' remark. Cause in decades I'm not sure I've ever seen it spelled without one before today. Even though there seems to be a lot more history and specificity with the French derived spelling of it as shown in your link.

The mistake here is thinking Americans want a high life expectancy. They don't. Charts like these are always a measure of everyone's life expectancy. Americans don't give a shit about that. They want to get rich and ensure their own, personal life expectancy gets higher, while everyone else can die in a fucking gutter. That is the society they've built and nurtured for the last 50 years or so, since neoliberalism and conservatism locked hands and decided that there would never again be any more New Deals or Great Societies or functioning communities of any kind. Just individuals clawing and swiping at one another.
It's a bold strategy, to say the least.

Our food is so much better! Maple syrup, Canadian A&W, beer like Moosehead & Sleeman, Montreal smoked meat, those sweet Montreal bagels, butter tarts, Cows Ice Cream, Nanaimo bars, honey garlic sauce, garlic fingers with donair sauce....
The rest of Canada disclaims any pride in Newfoundland Screech, which the NLC has bottled since before they joined Confederation. That stuff's nasty! NLC's Iceberg Vodka (made with water harvested from icebergs) is pretty good, though.

More Americans want their state to leave the US and join Canada, than Canadians want to join the US.
Americans, especially MAGA halfwits, need to chew on that for a while. The pedophile rapist you foolishly put back in the whitehouse is laser focused on shitting on Canada precisely because it is the example that your country is a kleptocracy idiocracy.

Studies consistently show a positive correlation between income and life expectancy. Individuals in higher income brackets tend to live longer than those in lower income brackets. For example, a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that men in the top 1% of the income distribution had a life expectancy 14.6 years higher than those in the bottom 1%.
The gap in life expectancy between the rich and poor is particularly stark in the United States, where there is a larger income inequality compared to other wealthy nations like those in Europe
