I haven't run into this problem. Voila lets you filter for Canadian foods under food preferences, and displays maple leaf next to products of Canada.

Roscoe taking a loud nap after a day in the sun. He likes to sleep on the back of the couch, despite being thirty pounds.

A little flooded here in Guelph

A slightly flooded street. Water fills the street but the sidewalk is clear.

Wtf. Also I have a fever and no other symptoms aside from burning eyes, headache, and a slight cough. Can horrible air pollution give you a fever? Or is this just terrible timing?

a graphic showing the air quality index for Guelph is 521, Hazardous. Main pollutant: PM2.5.

Dogs are weird because they do things humans do. Roscoe had a sneezing fit walking past a neighbour's hedge that's in bloom. He burps loudly after almost every meal. Yesterday he drank water too fast, choked, and had a coughing fit. Dogs are way too human

Roscoe the black and white cockapoo lying on the ground looking at the camera. There's a small yellow pom-pom on the ground next to him. That belongs to the cat (not pictured).

Came home from walking the dog to this rascal a few feet from the door. There are two more hidden in the Virginia creeper behind him. I'm assuming they were following mom on a quest to raid the grackle nest in the vines about twelve feet up.

A baby raccoon sits on a railing and looks at the camera warily, while two more are hidden in the Virgina creeper on the right side of the frame. No idea where their mom is

Roscoe went to the beach for the first time today

Roscoe the black and white cockapoo drinks lake Ontario water. He's on the beach and probably has worms now but he loved it

Got the dog an RFID feeder to keep the cat from eating dog food. As you can see it's working swimmingly.

Roscoe the black and white cockapoo stands in front of his RFID feeder while Kahlia the calico cat eats from it. They're working cooperatively so the cat can eat dog food, thwarting all efforts to keep her on her diet.

Impossible Mission for the Commodore 64. Best game ever. I can still hear the scary mad scientist saying "Stay Awhile. Stay FOREVER!!!!"

A screenshot from the 1980s game Impossible Mission, with the special event on the elevator and a map showing all of the rooms. There are eight hours left on the clock, suggesting this is the start of the game.

Imagine using your foot as a pillow

Calico Kahlia is curled up in her cat bed, chin resting on her hind foot

I don't know why she sits like this

Calico Kahlia the cat reclines comfortably on a beige couch with a quilt hanging over the back of it. Her tail is splayed out in front of her, between her legs. Her left elbow is propped up on a cushion. She's wearing a look of derision on her face.

Check out this letter Max Scherzer's kid wrote to the Blue Jays. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Dear Blue Jays,
I am so sorry that you didn't win the World Series. I hope that you win next time. I hope my dad is back on the team. My whole family loves spending time in Toronto with our dad. We loved the aquarium, the CN tower, and of course the stadium. I am looking forward to coming back next season.
Love,
Max Scherzer's daughter

Emagaway: Back in December Brooke wrote this letter, put it in an envelope and asked us to mail it to the Blue Jays. Looks like she gets her wish! Last season had an amazing impact on our entire family and we couldn't be more excited to be back in Toronto!! Season 19 here we go!

I am blessed to live with a real live Muppet

Roscoe the black and white cockapoo smiles for the camera. He needs a haircut, as usual

Roscoe needs a haircut and a bath but he's still adorable 🥰

Roscoe the black and white cockapoo has really messy fur. He's lying on a brown cushion on a brown couch, and looks adorable

The cat went to the vet this week and was a very good girl. Marked safe from rabies.

Knit my kid a sweater for Xmas. Finally finished it and the cat thinks it's hers

We sold a lot of shirts at that museum gift shop, including a wolf shirt that was apparently extremely epic to a certain demographic of Nova Scotia, where I lived at the time.
