last byelection vancouver’s election team bragged about how reducing poll workers by 70% would be super awesome and then people had to wait in line for 3+ hours and this election they’re taking legal action over Chinese names and at a certain point you have to wonder about priorities

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Mount Saint Helens erupted on this day 46 years ago. John "Jack" V. Christianson took these photos from Mt. Adams, 54 km to the east, as his friend reacted to the eruption—really, the wholesale collapse of the volcano—at 8:32 am on 18 May 1980. Imagine what this must have been like to witness.
Two frames showing the Mount St. Helens eruption. On the left, the eruption has begun with a lateral blast from the volcano's flank. On the right, the blast has evolved into a pyroclastic density current that obscures the volcano. In the foreground is a ledge on which a climber first stands, then sits, as he watches the eruption.
