OTTAWA – The Conservative Party of Canada has officially announced that in addition to walkable cities, vaccines, and transgender children, they are also deeply afraid of eating bugs.
“We WON’T Eat Bugs,” the CPC said in an online petition it posted this week. “No one is asking us to, but we’re so scared someone might, and it could be Justin Trudeau. And that makes us furious and so very frightened of this version of Justin Trudeau that we made up who is making us eat bugs.”
Looks like a yummy flourentine
Every election, the PC run a wet sock as their leader and gets beaten by Trudeau. But this new guy is the most worrisome, dude is unhinged, go look at how he talks to the media to get an idea of how he would talk down to constituents and Canadians.
dont they know where those red colors dyed M&Ms come from?
POV: You’re the world’s largest producer of lentils, by far
Conservatives: “They’re eating the bugs”
Many political scientists believe the reason rightwing politicians become hysterical at the idea of eating insects is due to the fact that in school, all of them were either the kind of children who made other children eat bugs, or the kind of children who would’ve made other children eat bugs if they’d possessed the upper body strength to do so.
“Like all bullies, conservatives are deeply afraid of pretty much everything,” said Dr. Abigail Petrie, the head of the Political Science Department at McGill University. “They mask their terror with anger, but beneath their performative rage you’ll find a person who is terrified of anything and everything. Sadly, rather than simply coping with their anxiety in a healthy way, conservatives lash out, like a dog attacking a vacuum cleaner while pissing itself in fear.”
Nailed it.
So eloquently put.
This isn’t even satire, it’s just the truth.
Holy moly, it’s real.
The way I see it, it’d be similar to how ostrich eggs are sold in Canada and a lot of other places worldwide as a kind of novelty food, but most people just eat chicken eggs anyways.
From this article
Ashour said 10 per cent of the product is sold for human consumption. The rest is sold to the pet food industry.
“It’s quite remarkable how normal insect consumption can be in some of these countries,” Ashour said.

Oh shit new moral panic just dropped!
I was expecting it to be the clip from Paul Joseph Watson ‘I will not eat the bugs’ that made the rounds a few years ago.
It already happened in Poland. Source: search “Poland eating bugs”

Thank God, the market price of lobster and crab is too damn high. Even prawn is getting up there.
I tried eating bugs, it’s not bad. Aside from lobster and shrimp I mean, grasshoppers aren’t that bad.
Silkworm pupae (Beondegi in Korean) are pretty good too.
I would try it, looks interesting. The canned stuff though… Ugh
The boiled or steamed snack food is served in paper cups with toothpick skewers. Its aroma has been described as “nutty, shrimp-like, and a bit like canned corn” and the canned-type smells very much “like tire rubber”, while the texture is firm and chewy.

Edit: are those just the ‘de-silked’ pupae from the silk industry?
The pupa stage is a motionless stage. In this stage, people kill the pupa by plunging the cocoon into boiling water and unwind the silk thread.

So yes, it looks like this is the leftover insect after the silk is removed
Even better, thanks!
More for me!
So… what are the odds that trump is going to have The Onion shut down?
Zero. That’s just not a thing the President can do.
yet
I guess we’ll find out on the Beav.
