Why I won't be signing Wendy's "Poutition"
Firstly, let it be known that I love poutine, period, full-stop.
But, I take serious umbrage to Wendy's "Poutition" to make poutine the national dish of Canada.
1) Wendy's poutine is a piss-poor imitation of the real thing.
2) Poutine is a REGIONAL (Québec) dish, Canada is a large country with a rich diversity of regional cuisines (not all of which are as conveniently fast-food marketable as poutine).
3) Canadians don't need an American corporation's cheap marketing gimmick to name a "national dish".
