What's being in Canada like?

Your local graffitist puts smiley faces on the backs of street signs and things like "have a nice day" over the freeway.

You look forward fervently to the next song by Drake so the radio stations will finally stop playing the last song by Drake.

The bars open before 7 a.m. so people can watch the gold medal game drunk.

There is a fierce hockey rivalry with the United States that no American knows about.

An in person hockey game is like a church service where God and Satan knifefight to the death.

There are no pennies so everyone pauses over the change during transactions for a shared moment of rounding.

If Canada's population is 10%-ish of the USA population I think 10% of 10% of that number know about the rivalry. Not nobody but not many. Good thing to have the gold medal game on a Sunday? Kinda like Canada's Super Bowl, eh?

Maybe in Boston and points north. Which are pretty much Canada anyway.

Felt more like their coronation, even at 7 am.

I had no idea about any of this.

For real, about the pennies, eh? "Shared moment of rounding. Is there a conventional etiquette?

Clerk does all the work, but you're both staring at the change. Or watching the clerk stare if you're into that.

That's kinda great. Now I wish I could see a montage composed of lots and lots of clerks and patrons staring at the change. #project ideas for the life in which you have lots of spare...time

Now that thoughts cost a nickel there's none left to spare.
