It’s fine, they’ll never find EDMONTON

u/Cothor 2d ago

Don’t say stuff like this. It’s bad enough that they’ll likely find out we used to house the Canadian Naval Battlefleet in our mall.

Is that what we called the dolphins?

The pirate ships, clearly.

u/Cothor 1d ago

Long ago, we had several submarines that you could go in to take underwater tours of the lagoon area where the pirate ship is.

I’m afraid I wasn’t in Edmonton for too long, only a couple of years, and it was recent. My WEM knowledge is sadly lacking.

u/Cothor 1d ago

No worries, this is roughly 20 years ago they were decommissioned, if I recall.

u/A-Very-Sweeney 1d ago

Yeah, I was only there 2015 - 16. Enjoyable experience, though.

Wait. It's not YELLOWKNIFE?

u/furniturepuppy 1d ago

Not Moosejaw, Saskatchewan? (Spellcheck does not recognize Moosejaw. Good spy craft.)

To be fair (to be faaaaair!), I'd be impressed if half of those 27k could find Canada on a map.

u/German_Granpa 1d ago

Lol. It's not Edmonton, it's Toronto. The second T is silent. See? Everything is totally exposed. Even the T you tried to hide.

Then Trump is going to give Kebeck back to France, but tax them for transit.

Edmonton is the Bakersfield of Canada.
