”It’s going to be about rapeseed Canola™ oil, isn’t it?“

Yeah, still at least the third grossest product they export, after asbestos and celebrities.

I woulda said fourth after asbestos, celebrities and bitumen, but then I remembered we're having a real tough time exporting the bitumen

We're also in the arms business, don't forget that. Arming Saudi Arabia should be on the list, maybe just below our celebrity exports.

People have been eating rapeseed oil for hundreds of years though. Canola is just rapeseed oil without one random chemical that was linked to heart disease in a junk study.

Apparently not though, looks like Canada grew some variant that is actually edible without being too bitter.

confession: I've been using canola for panfrying etc since I was old enough to be taught how to cook, it tastes neutral and has a reasonably high smoke point

sometimes I'll switch it up for grapeseed oil if I'm feeling fancy

I won't cook with bitumen no matter what the alberta government says

The phrasing was funny to me because it's been used as a cooking oil for most of recorded history in India and China and that's a third of the world's population right there.

Why? To prevent what would be an amazing heist and the tickets getting into the wrong hands.

Apparently he broke into a bank while he was drunk as hell.

Also he smote Norman Mailer on the head with a hammer. (The two incidents were unrelated, and indeed, separated by 30 years.)

You just need to get that shot first in case of any helicoptersaccidents you don't need to do continuity edits with a look alike after the first kid is landed on by a whale.
