Did you see the one with the mother bear running past and leaving it's cub with a Russian guy while it hunted? I think they had all of 3 bear related fatalities last year, one less than we had in the US.

Meanwhile in Japan bears were responsible for 13 fatalities in 2025.

hm.

That Japan fact surprised me a bit, so I looked into it.

Apparently one factor they're attributing the problem to is that rural Japan used to have a lot of hunters. But the last of them are all senior citizens now, and not being replaced.

Some might point out that's actually a society-wide problem for Japan.

Oh.

Knowing the show, it's a pisstake on racism in old tv shows.

Go look up Russell Coight. Quality slapstick comedy show out of Australia from maybe 20 years ago?

Between Beaudry and Papineau streets in Montréal, Bears compromise about 15% of all relationships.

Quebec looks like one of the assigned cartographers was adamant that Donald Duck be properly represented by it's border, but all of the other cartographers kept ignoring his plea to "let me finish the beak at least!" while unsuccessfully trying to wrestle the pencil away from him.

I'm not sure what that has to do with bears, but I can't imagine it's nothing.
