I think you're pulling my (nicely stockinged) leg, they don't even grow watermelon in Canada.
This is what Canadians mean by "importing vegetables from south of the border". A bit different from what is meant here.
Simply untrue!
I grew watermelons when I was a kid!
Our national animal rendered in watermelon
Fans of a certain prairie based (Canadian) football team*
* Canadian football being similar to American football, however, the field is measured in metres and several teams are named the Rough Riders
It's interesting to attempt to watch their Grey Cup/Coupe game.
I’ve had some pretty good watermelon from Alberta. Wait, didn’t you grow up in England? Or some other exotic place?

In trucker/CB slang, they're known as pi** punkins.
Properly the Coupe Grey Cup. Grey, of course being a proper name, does not get translated to Grise.
We all have too much free time with the whole world being under house arrest (except the Swedes).I think you *may* have just a little too much free time
Didn't know that. I'm more familiar with(Coupe)Lord Stanley['s] Cup. Probably the coolest trophy in sports.
Chucky beat me to it.
Born in England and was brought to Canada when I was young. I come from a family of tax refugees; back then (as the Beatles complained) the taxman had a top marginal rate of 95% whereas Canada had a top marginal rate of about 25%.

I haven't missed a day of work yet, the BF and I went out for dinner Saturday evening for the first time in quite a while, I must say it was nice to have a couple drinks and let someone else do the cooking and dishes.
You can here at many places. Most have "social distancing" practices in place but some places don't seem to be trying at all.

Yes, there was about 8 feet between us and the next table - it was so good to get out ( and get a little drunk). It's been a long time though, Washington shut down really early on and reopening is slow in the Seattle area (slower than the rest of the state), I finally rode the Light Rail to work today for the first time in months, felt good to not drive!
That's great. I know a lot of places, here at least, aren't sure they'll be able to survive with the necessary distancing.
