OH ok thank you. But I keep hearing tons of people pronouncing it the other way.

We don't get a discount, we pay 8c a bag unless we use our own bag or carry it out. And as someone who brought reusable bags years before the law against single use plastic was passed... I like that fine.
If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is there to see it, a Chihuahua 500 miles away will bark at it for 10 minutes.
The top story in the news for the past few days has been about... people waiting in a really long line.
Good to know that there's apparently nothing bad happening anywhere.

Ain't that the Truth.
I believe they call that a queue across The Pond, but I am in full agreement with your thought.
Crowns drop and a lap dog roots it up.
But isn't it a very British thing to be waiting in lines? So I hear.
BTW Our PM could have brought a better bunch of flowers for the queen that little thing he put there looked a bit pathetic.

It's also considered a very Canadian thing, which maybe is why the Canadian press is giving it such prominence?
I'm not saying it shouldn't be reported on at all; it's a perfectly valid human interest story. But COVID is still raging, there is a war going on involving a nuclear power, Pakistan has been devastated by flooding, the RCMP is still not being forthcoming about the death of Myles Sanderson, there is a new populist leader of the Official Opposition in the House of Commons who is already causing scandal, and I'm not even going to get into all the messes currently going on in the United States right now. So maybe what the wait time is now for the line, and the famous people who are currently standing in it, aren't really the first things I need to see when I go to look at the news.
OTOH one could look at it as the end of Russia as a military power to be feared. Watch the Brit Conservatives implode, the US GOP go down bigly, radical conservatives everywhere die of Covid, and authoritarians from Trump to Xi fail specularity. I might get nuked, but will have little time to regret it.

Having a great time here in Baltimore. Didn’t realize how much I missed this city.
Well, the top story today was how Canadian democracy is failing, so I guess I got my wish??
...
There are some places where it is referred to as that, yes, but the formal name is "Official Opposition", as per the Standing Orders of the House of Commons.
But I should also point out that those two statements aren't necessarily mutually exclusive...
I was looking at google maps to see where Stoneybrook from Babysitters Club would be and realised I got heaps of american places wrong. I thought Philadelphia was above New York near Boston and New Hampshire was up near Maine. I also thought Connecticut was closer to Washington, DC. And Long Island is really long!
I started "Chandler's Dumb States Game" from Friends like 4 years ago and still only worked out 48 states.

Try lookin' up Chickamauga. Some well known historians deem it as The River of Death.

Wow the things you find online. I was looking for a video on the game Mafia 3 end up finding a video with a real Mafia guy
My Friend: You know, maybe the reason we lose our teeth when we get old is so that we'll have to change our diet to less complex things.
Me: I'll concede that, if you'll also grant that maybe the reason we get senile or suffer Alzheimer's is so we don't have to remember all the friends we've lost or terrible things we've done & witnessed
Them: ........
Me: Or, you know, maybe the warrantee's just up & shit starts breaking down.

Oddly one of my TVs was super reliable then almost a day out of that 12 month period it started to glitch and pixelate. Eventually it fell over completely dead.
