If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, then every vote becomes relevant. 39% of the electoral college is already on board, and it would come into effect once 50% participates.

Meanwhile, far-right commentator Laura Loomer eats dog food as part of far-right YouTube alternative Rumble’s expansion into the dog food business:

Yes, Rumble, a website that hosts plenty of far-right conspiracy videos popular with the MAGA crowd and partly funded by JD Vance, is actually based in downtown Toronto.

Apparently it started with some rumour that newcomers from Haiti were catching and eating ducks and geese in public parks. Total racist BS, but I wish people would eat Canada Geese. They’re a scourge on our parks and waterways.

So much depends on preparation and cooking, as well as time of year.

I was going to say, there must be a pretty good historical reason why we don't eat geese. Must not be tasty.

There's a lot of little reasons, but I think historically it's really the rise of mass produced pork, plus how easy most pork is to cook without screwing it up to an unpalatable point, and in-turn its ubiquity brought a much lower cost relative to other non-chicken poultry, especially here in "Hogtown".
You could say lamb wound up suffering the same fate as goose in Ontario/Canada for the same reasons.

Goose tastes fine.
But it does have a slightly stronger flavour that today's domesticated turkey.
It compares to Duck, its not quite the same, some would argue it actually has a slightly beefy taste.
****
Winter Goose is quite fatty, while this can make it rich and flavourful, it can also be a grease bomb. It requires proper trimming and preparation, and if roasted, you will want will have to skim the jus/gravy quite a bit..
Summer Goose is actually fairly lean, and can and probably should be treated a bit like a lean steak. Grilled to medium rare. (You would just use the breast meat) .
Canada Goose, to my knowledge is not raised domestically for meat, but hunters can and do eat a fair bit each year.

Since this has turned into a culinary thread . . .
Personal taste but I find goose greasy. Like any wild game, much depends on preparation, time of year and environment. Some are more forgiving than others if you muck it up. I've had bear that was quite good, I've had venison that was 'meh'. I've had beaver tail (don't ask and, no, not the ones from Ottawa). Some game is simply beyond redemption. I've not heard of anyone, including FN people living off the land, who eats diving or 'fish' ducks such as Loons and Mergansers.
Domestic geese were more common in the past when raised by small farms. I can only guess why they didn't commercialize well like chickens turkeys, but can guess that:
- waterfowl are generally more costly to raise at any kind of scale. They don't lend themselves to feedlots.
- their meat-waste ratio is fairly low (although I imagine so was turkey in the early days)
- they are ornery.

I had it around Christmas, I think shot in the late fall. It was a bit like roast beef crossed with turkey. It was fine.

This reminds me of this
Anyway, I didn't watch any of the debate last night. I don't understand how anyone can consider this a contest for President!
