I think I've heard from people on here that there are places that sell poutine in certain areas of the US. Or in other areas they will make a dish that is pretty much the same thing but with grated cheese instead of cheese curds, and they call it "disco fries" or something.

As technology propels us even further into the stuff Black Mirror's nightmares are made of, the issues we face in the offline world seem inevitably destined to be replicated in the new frontier. Jordan Belamire had an unwelcome taste of this recently when she was subjected to what she calls a "virtual reality groping". The writer was being introduced to the VR game QuiVr by her brother-in-law when the incident occurred – and though it might initially be hard to wrap one's head around the concept of how such an assault can occur in a virtual world, it isn't that hard to understand if you're willing to open your mind a little.
If we don't act to stop attacks on women in VR, it will become yet another exclusionary, male-dominated space. If we don't act to stop attacks on women in VR, it will become yet another exclusionary, male-dominated space. Photo: Stocksy In brief: Belamire entered the VR landscape of QuiVr and quickly marvelled at the awe-inspiring nature of the game. When she stared over the virtual cliffs at what appeared to be a very real 100-foot drop, her fear of heights was triggered. The feeling was so intense she was afraid to follow her brother-in-law's direction to walk off the ledge, despite her rational mind understanding she was standing in a living room and could not fall to her death.
Still, the game was a fun and unique experience for Belamire. That is, until she entered the multiplayer-verse and encountered a real-life player going by the name BigBro442. Belamire – who shared the same genderless avatar as her co-players but whose voice made her identifiably female – recalls the incident. "In between a wave of zombies and demons to shoot down, I was hanging out next to BigBro442, waiting for our next attack. Suddenly, BigBro442's disembodied helmet faced me dead-on. His floating hand approached my body and he started to virtually rub my chest."
In increasingly angry tones, Belamire told BigBro442 to stop. But he persisted, chasing her around the virtual landscape and striking whenever the play stalled. After three minutes of this Belamire removed her headset and exited the game.
When I posted this on my Facebook page, I was sadly unsurprised to see the usual slew of comments insisting this was an "overreaction". That Belamire should "harden up" and get a grip. She was called ridiculous and – my favourite – accused of undermining the impact of sexual violence on "real" victims.

John Nada said: Chinese restaurants are mostly the same as that here. Mexican food probably is the top ethnic food here, but that only makes sense since them and Canada are our only neighbors.
What do you think of as "home cooked stuff America is known for"?
I wonder why canadian cuisine never made it big in the US?
Probably because Canadian cuisine isn't significantly different from American cuisine, with the exception of some stuff of French Canadian origin.
I thought it was because it was just like canada, bland, boring and desolate
but incredibly polite

What about cheese fries? french fries, ranch dressing mixed cheese, crumbled bacon, put in broiler until melted and top with green onions/chives and serve with a side of ranch.
