According to Rick of Rick’s Miscellany, this website was mentioned in a newspaper article recently. Allan Hewitson of the Northern Sentinel (the newspaper of Kitimat, BC) had this to say about [Cubicle Dweller]:
Cubicle Dweller is a Steveston book editor who who writes a running blog in which he recently waxed creative about some name changes he suggests for Canada, after reading that french fries had been renamed freedom fries in Washington.
He thinks California rolls should become Canuck rolls, Texas toast should be maple leaf toast and any beer should be renamed liquid Canada. What would that be on the French side of the label?
I don’t mean to complain, but it would have been nice if Allan Hewitson had checked his facts before publishing. For example, I don’t live in Steveston and I’m not a book editor either. I mean, just look at my grammar and spelling. No Stevestonite would spell this poorly.
All the same, I’m happy that the word will be spread about Canuck Rolls and Maple Leaf Toast. As for the French side freedom side of the beer label, I’ll have to do some research on the subject (extensive experimental beer research). At this early stage, I’d guess that it would say “bière”.
