ballsofsteelandfury - February 18, 2019February 17, 2019

Yes, today is all of those things! Except in the Canadian territories because, much like the U.S., Canada could give two shits about territories. Apparently, also the French-speaking province of Québec and the English-speaking province of Newfoundland and Labrador don't get a holiday today. Who did they piss off? Don't answer that. Let's take them
