I saw this today and the story includes Quebec acting like snotty assholes about ‘Canada’s’ dish so it was worth a post.
If you didn’t think poutine was magical enough, #Toronto‘s Enchanted Poutinerie has got you covered! Looking like a mystical delight, their Unicorn Poutine is made with fresh rainbow Quebec cheese curds & multi-colour gravy -don’t mind if we do

From what I gather, ‘Unicorn Poutine’ is like regular poutine only with colored cheese curds. BFD.
Where this story becomes a story is this ‘Unicorn Poutine’ is now being made in Toronto and Quebecors are pissed because they say ‘Unicorn Poutine is a delicacy that is only authentic if it’s made IN Quebec.
Surprisingly, ‘people’ took time out of their day to ether the government of Canada Tweet claiming this ‘delicacy’ for Quebecors and Quebecors alone.
This is an abomination – Montreal

Aaaaah woke #Toronto. Always trying to be “unique” and “original” by politicizing everything.
Poutine will never become a symbol of the LGBTQ movement.
CAPISH?

Leave it to Toronto to mess up something made with literally 3 ingredients.
This is why we can’y have nice things.

Good Chr*st, are you doing this to ensure even more Canadians loathe Toronto?

A) You can have it. Jesus. Toronto isn’t stupid or bored enough to fight you for a bowl of french fries, gravy, and colorful cheese.
B) If I put those rubbery curds some fries in Hawkesbury (a town on On/Que border) in a house on either side of the border, it’s still ‘Unicorn Poutine’. It doesn’t stop being what it is because it was assembled in a separate geographical area.
C) It looks fucking gross.
Gross. Can’t unsee that. Some kind of food abuse. Like they melted a smurf.

Just like Quebec to argue over ownership of some Care Bear jizz on some fries.
