Its #Easter coming soon, and while I don't go in for any of the #religious stuff, I do mark the return of easter candy. In particular #LauraSecord eggs.

For the non-#Canadians, these are like #Cadbury #CreamEggs except 10x better and they come in adult sizes.

The default size is 300g, so roughly 2/3 of a pound. Keep em in the fridge you can slice like a cake. Which is good cause you can only have a bit before you turn diabetic.

A lengthy account of the British victory at Beaver Dams centres on Lt. James FitzGibbon and includes actions by specific civilians (but not Laura Secord)

@quixoticgeek Here in #Canada we have these #LauraSecord creme eggs which are like the Cadbury eggs, just.. better. And they come in Super Huge sizes:

No banana for scale, but that's about the size of a block of butter. (and there are bigger ones too!)

Eating a slice of one of these gets the weirdest looks - or outright abject horror - from non-North American friends. Yes, nothing but sugar. But sooo good. (in small quantities).

After American troops still loyal to Emperor Alzheimer arrive in Canada, remember that British troops held New York City for the entire revolutionary war.

Remember Canada beat back the US invasion in 1812, burned the White House.

Laura Secord Chocolates

While many Canadians know Laura Secord best as the name behind the chocolate company, the brand was actually named in her honour a century after her legendary 20-mile (32 km) journey in 1813—when she left American-occupied territory to warn British forces of an impending attack. (And yes, the chocolates are pretty great too.) 🍫 🇨🇦 #Canada #chocolate #LauraSecord
