How did it take me 37 years to realize "#maple and brown sugar" is a bullshit #oatmeal flavor?
It's basically just "sugar and sugar" as a flavor concept. Consider "peaches and creme" and "apples and cinnamon" (the two other major American "oatmeal flavors") and you might see what I mean.
I'm not complaining about healthy foods, or even objecting to the tasty combinations. I'm just saying that I should have realized one was "sugar and sugar" before now.
In sad beer news...
Today, Rogue Brewery ceased operations at all its facilities: the brewery in Newport and its pubs in Astoria, Newport, Portland, and Salem.

FWIW (I live in Seattle, pretty damn liberal/foresty US) I don't blame you guys. The half of our country that isn't on fire is the half where we grow corn.
Canada has more forest and fewer people than the US and I think you've a generally more nature-minded average citizen as well. Less litter and that sort of thing.
This is climate crap. Places that used to be wet and cold are now warm and dry. It's a problem, but not one that Canada caused. It's just in your yard.
Oh yeah the whole region is on fire, it's just hitting Canada harder than it used to:

I'm used to the US burning every summer, particularly when we have folks in gov who don't believe in science or common sense. Americans signed up to breathe ash last election.
I feel like Canadians deserve a bit better though. They didn't sign up for doom. 
Gotta say, all those burning Canadian forests definitely make for some pretty #sunsets.
I hate this timeline.
