It's not Canadian, it's ~~Newfie~~.
Edit: It's actually from ~~New Brunswick~~ Nova Scotia. Learn your geography, kids.
Thanks for pointing it out /u/cryptowillem
Edit 2: I need sleep. Holy....
I can't agree with you there. The Donair was introduced in the 70s in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Not Newfoundland. It even says that in the article.
Oh shit you're right!!!
I completely got my provinces mixed up.
Oh man. This is so embarrassing.
Halifax is in Nova Scotia. Donair is a Halifax dish.
Please. Forgive me. I feel so dumb right now. It's so embarrassing I should just close my lemmy.ca account and go somewhere else.
I don't deserve to be on a Canadian instance. This is pathetic. LoL
Forgiven. Not an offence that will get you deported.
Kinda splitting hairs, especially in an article from an international news company. Like if this had happened in Australia, you couldn't say "it's not Australian, it's from Queensland!"
LoL I know I know.
But it's just that it's not really a Canada wide thing. It's really specific to ~~Newfoundland~~ ~~New Brunswick~~ Nova Scotia, and they're really proud of it. So I thought I'd highlight it.
Edit: Holy shit I'm so sorry.
New Bruswick is the next province over from Nova Scotia.
God dammit π€¦
I didn't have enough sleep last night.
