Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

Oh yeah......its Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. That's a fun gift for @NurseDave . Lets hope he gets plenty of poutine on his perfectly roasted canadian goose. And a very large Labatt's to wash it down.

Alas, it's illegal to kill or even harass Canada Goosesessesss and Labatts is a Belgian beer!! (Owned by AB-InBev of Budweiser fame)

Labatts is a Belgian beer!! (Owned by AB-InBev of Budweiser fame)

Labatt Brewing Company Limited (French: La Brasserie Labatt Limitée) is a Anheuser-Busch InBev-owned brewery headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1847, Labatt is the largest brewer in Canada.

It was Canadian owned for 148 years...its only been owned by a foreign company for 30 years. Plus its never stopped being brewed in Canada and is still one of the most popular beers in Canada.....if it walks like a protected Canadian goose....

See you in 2026 ... maybe.

In 1975 two friends and I were on a road trip from Massachusetts to Ohio. We took a detour to the Canadian Niagara Falls. Upon our return, we smuggled back a case of LaBatt’s Oktoberfest and a boatload of fireworks. This was back when we were on friendly terms. We weren’t searched going to Canada or coming back to the USA, which is fortunate, considering what we were carrying in our pockets!

He is not the problem. There's a lot of stuff going on in general (not restricted to here) that is leading to death by a thousand cuts.

Sam...if I offended....I apologize. I loved my visit to your fine country...enough so to learn which beer was canada's most popular.....not necessarily its best. Please don't go because I'm too silly for my own good.
