Wait, that was real? I only saw the screenshot on Lemmy and assumed it was a shitpost.

The most recent federal election here was 92% conservative in Alberta

I mostly agree but I’d say AB would be closer to 90:10 R. I’ve got family and friends there and it’s very conservative. I don’t actually know a single liberal Albertan.

The rest is spot on though.

A big part of it is that they’ll let you have any weird combination you want. They’ve got a ton of syrups, different milks, cream, sweet creams, different roasts, different shots, a bunch of stuff and you can get it any which way. If you go to almost any other mainstream coffee place you won’t have nearly as many options and you probably can’t combine them in any way imaginable. I have a few friends who work at Starbucks and they’ve shown me some crazy complicated drink orders they’ve had to do before.

Now I don’t think those crazy combinations taste any good, I’ve tried some before that friends have liked or that my barista friends have given me as a taste, but if you’re someone who likes sweet drinks I could see the appeal. For what it’s worth, a vast majority of their consumer base (at least that I’ve seen and heard) are the exact stereotype.

Man, I wish. Check out Canadian liquor prices. I don’t drink Bud but I’m pretty sure a six pack is $16 ($11.58 USD). Hard liquor is where we’re really hit though. Whisky is my drink of choice and it’s very expensive up here. I remember going to Boston a few years back and buying a few bottles of scotch because of how much cheaper it was, it was crazy.
