Canadian literature.

Overall, a literary 'scene' that used to hinge on rural tropes, miserable long winters, hockey eh, and ironic heroism. Yet with the rise of postmodernism and cultural globalization, Canlit has 'evolved' to literature frequently mired in identity, cultural appropriation, sexuality, power politics and other vain pretentious postmodern rubbish.

Canlit is a potemkin cultural effort to establish literary relevance, because Canada is actually a first world resource colony / banana republic, with culture determined by difference, resentment and a lust for reparations. Perhaps Canlit stands as a global signpost for the age of vacuous social media, rebooted CGI films, musical mashups approximating innovative originality, and a general loss of humanist transcendence in the wake of ascendant cybernetic fascism.
Sheldon: "Read anything good lately?"
Whitey: "MmmmHmmm yes some good Canlit!"

OR

Ellen: "Oh geeez eeeeesh - yeah another grant-absorbing pomo wannabe drunk prof leads the way, eh?"
Laura: "He brought some students along for the ride!"
Ellen: "Yes, we all know that, wink-wink!"

The one word you never want to hear in a dentist's office. A cavity develops when a tooth decays or breaks down by bacteria. It is a hole that can grow bigger and deeper over time, even if you brush and floss regularly. If you have a cavity, it's important to get it repaired, as brushing and flossing will not remove away the cavity. If left untreated, it can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. It can spread to the root area and cause an abscess (infection). This infection can then spread throughout the head and cause severe damage. If this goes untreated, it could even cause death.
Patient: "Well, how are my teeth, Doc?"
Dentist: "Oh, my! Son, you have a cavity! Looks like I need to numb your teeth and put a very big drill to remove the soft part of your teeth. Don't worry. You won't feel a thing."
Patient: "Lies!"
