    Only doing this if I get a moose steak with those pancakes.

    Moose aren’t like a sacred animal in Canada right?

      Moose are revered and they are to be respected!! They can stomp your face effortlessly.

      I believe Aboriginal cultures have many deep ties with the moose. I think some people hunt and eat them, but it’s not really a thing on a menu where I am (urban west coast), and is moreso a maritime/Newfoundland menu thing.

      Regardless, we build many statues to them: (I have only seen one of these in person [top right, Deer Lake Newfoundland].)

      Image transcription: Five moose statues from around Canada. Moose are 2m or 8 6.5-7 feet tall (at the shoulder), so these are some bigass sculptures. One, which was a memorial for a man who died of cancer, is now covered in bras for breast cancer awareness/fundraising.

      Edit: converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head.
