I’m old enough to remember when French fries were out and Freedom fries were in.
It’s gotta have a shot of maple flavoring, then
Canadiano is *already* a drink. It’s espresso and drip coffee.
We are better than this, guys.
Edit: I’m a bad Canadian, it also *needs* to have maple syrup.
I honestly don’t hate that it is called an Americano as the name is a big of a cheeky jab.
It was born out of American Soldiers diluting espresso during world war II so that italian coffee was more palatable.
As a canadian, this is a silly as freedom fries.
At the risk of sounding pedantic, would the correct term be “Canadese”? The original term was a shortened version of cafe americano making the Canadian version cafe canadese, no? Whatever the term though, I support this.
This is just freedom fries for Canadians. It’s getting sad.
Also look up the history of the term “Americano.” Italians used it as an insult against American GIs in WWII who they thought couldn’t stomach espresso, so they watered it down.
But Americano was coined because during WW2 American soldiers would take a shot of espresso and fill it up with water…
Which is a completely different drink.
Hey Canadians, Australian here. Call it a Long Black
So stunning and brave.
America bad
It was dumb that time with “freedom fries”, it’s still dumb now.
A canadiano is already a drink. It’s a latte with maple syrup
I’m all for what Canada is doing, but seriously? This is boomer level of “Freedom Fries” energy.
I’d prefer a Mexicano: Spicy but you still have to pay for it!
Canadiano- one shot of espresso, and you fill the cup the rest of the way with snow.
Wait til they find out it should actually be “Canadese”.
YES! Now Canada gets its Freedom Fries moment. Haha nerds!
So now are we gonna call the continents North Canada and South Canada? I hate Trump and what he is doing to Canada just as much as everyone else but this is top tier performative bullshit that solves nothing.
Freedom fries all over again
Trying to prove they’re not like us by being exactly like us.
This is a good choice of subreddit for that picture, because that kind of performative flailing won’t achieve much besided perhaps garnering the sympathy of that shop’s customers.
Either a silly switch up or biased politics, this is different.
Freedom Fries!
Lol so silly
It’s Canadese in Italian.
They should keep the name and raise the price by 25%
Huh, we did the same thing in Poland, when Russia invaded Ukraine with our “Ruskie Pierogi”. Ruskie (as in Russian) were changed in many places to Ukrainian.
I’m so freaking here for Canada’s Freedom Fries moment.
The current dictatorship has turned the name of our country into a slur… Fucking pathetic
That’s just saying Canadians can’t handle their coffee so they will water it down
LOL its kinda pathetic, also I don’t know if that person knows it or not but Canada is in America….
Consumer virtue signaling in hopes to drive sales and profit, yeaaaaaaaaaa. They don’t care about anything other than buy coffee please, smile 😊.
People on here will upvote this on their IPhones while wearing a pair of Nikes and drinking a cup of coffee from Starbucks lol.
It’s all good. We have the Gulf of America.
