HBC is in a lot of Western Canadians

wait I see Saperavi is in your list. Its one of my favourite restaurants in the Peg, it's absolutely amazing! The chakhokhbili and chkhmeruli are delicious and all of the kh'ach'apuri-- can't go wrong.

Good choices, been meaning to try these. Have you tried Saperavi and Beaurivage on Corydon?

anyway fuck trump

It's also coming at a time where it's strongly tied to my Canadian identity as an expat and dual ciizen (naturalized 2024 in USA). Americans ran it into the ground so it also feels like a foreign US attack on something belonging to my Homeland when our closest ally stabbed us in our back

my dad just really likes collecting point blankets. the company was involved with getting Manitoba's first Metis premier elected, but also responsible for the destruction of major parts of my culture incl. the Bungee language and Red River English. Its such a strange place to be.

i'm red river metis- nēhinaw, anishinaabe, and scottish. every aspect of my family's history has been touched by that company- justly or unjustly. delivering furs, paddling York boats up and down Lake Winnipeg, clerking at Cumberland House, Norway House, York Factory, Fort Garry, and more recently

Good luck to everybody :)
