Fediverse ChuckWe were watching an old <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/QI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QI</a> tonight. Sandi asked the question, what can you say thats equivalent to “As American as apple pie”, but about <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a>? A national slogan. A contest was held and the winner was, “As Canadian as possible under the circumstances.” The show was aired some time in the previous Trump term. They didn’t say when the contest was from.

AFter that, on the Dempster Highway, it would only be two more stops to Tuk, all would require slow-charging on a standard 120V plug (24-48hrs) but hey, it'd just be part of the experience :)Maybe by the time I get up there they'll have some L2 (240V) chargers to cut the wait time down to just overnight. <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/DreamTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DreamTravel</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/NWT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NWT</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BC</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Yukon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yukon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/RoadTrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadTrip</a>
