The Ugly Canada Thread

[WhipperSnapper]

They're popular. Just wade through them.


I just don't know how anyone can like the father and absolutely despise the son. They are so much alike.

Hey guys, keeps this thread safe for work.

I can't believe BM onctueux has been the first thing to be censored on this thread! Then again maybe not too surprised...

Who sent the no-fun police?

Pondering the implications of putting bread stuffing between slabs of fried bologna. In K-W, one rolls pork spare ribs around the bread stuffing.

Was it the 90's that created such EI inspired gourmet in Nfld?

What's the life expectancy on the Rock? I feel like everybody must die young yet happy. That bologna thing looks gross I want one.

Hehehe...

Life Expectancy
BC: 82.2
ON: 82
QC: 81.8
AB: 81.3
NB: 81.1
PEI: 80.7
NS: 80.2
NL: 79.9
MB: 79.8
SK: 79.7

Wooow!! It's really high...in all provinces.....jeez

[SignalHillHiker]

I'm not sure if it matters for the rest of us. It's like when people say oh the average life expectancy 200 years ago was 30! Almost no one died at around 30 years old. You died a child, or you died pretty close to when old people do today. It's just that WAY more children died and it brought the average down.

Likewise, if you look at that ranking, and then rank the provinces according to percentage of the population from regions of the world with high life expectancy, they more or less come out in the same order.

Say you limit it to just "Asians". AB has about 15% of the population selecting some form of that that in the census, 10% more than the other prairie provinces, and it ranks way higher than the other two in life expectancy. BC/ON have the most, they're the highest on both lists.

Correlation versus causation is fascinating.

It's probably not that simple, given the rates of obesity for example, which I can also verify with everyday anecdotal observation. Do the NL rates for these things line up with those in the motherland UK?

[SignalHillHiker]

Overall, no. We're worse.

By age, we're the same or better.
