Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye: World's Best Whiskey? - Sublime Imbibing Is Crown Royal's Northern Harvest rye the world's best whiskey (as Jim Murray asserted)? I tried it to find out -- and was pleasantly surprised.

Still, its soul is Canadian, and its Northern Harvest Rye is one of the best whiskies under $50: sublimeimbibing.ca/crown-royal-... #BuyCanadian

You know, I actually don't drink much cider. Any brands you'd recommend?

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Hardly a food blogger, but I post frequently to /r/FoodToronto, and will be posting recommendations here now that I've revved up a BlueSky account!

Posted this on /r/FoodToronto already but worth sharing here -- the chocolate cake from Petite Bouchée Patisserie (28 Sousa Mendes St.) is THE best cake in the city.

Well worth the trip to visit the Junction Triangle.

Friendly staff, great service, quiet. Definitely worth a lunch stop. #TorontoFood #Toronto
