Thank God for Hockey! NHL regular season starts this week!!
Beer and coffee? How exactly is this an "alternate" history?
...it would take more than Canadian ascendency in ice hockey to keep the country together. It requires coffee. In particular, a brand of coffee called Tim Horton's coffee.
This is not an exaggeration. I was in Canada this weekend, and the promise of Tim Horton's coffee was the only thing keeping me sane.
The only correction to this very accurate depiction of Canadians is the additional detail so crucial to the unity of British Columbians in particular: weed.
