Cruel and Cruller

Well, as much as I like Ottawa, I've finally discovered its fatal flaw.

No Krispy Kreme.

Madness, you say. And you're right. So where can I find the succulent goodness then?

After checking online I've discovered that there are only 4 locations in all of Canada. Just four. And three of those locations are in Quebec! Okay, okay, I am very close to Quebec, but it's bizarre that there aren't more locations in a country as huge and doughnut-loving as Canada.

To put this injustice into perspective, there are 30 (THIRTY!??) Krispy Kreme locations in South Korea, and half of those are in Seoul. Obviously Korea has a larger population, but that's 1.6 million people per location. In Canada, it's 8.5 million people per location. And Canada can't even manage a Kreme for it's capital city? I'm going to have to write to the government and complain or something, if only I knew where they were located....

Meaning that the Quebecois could theoretically have a Luther burger and poutine in the same meal...

I think we can agree there are many flaws. All of them quite fatal.

That is the saddest statistic yet. Have the Americans turned their wide backs on the miraculous ring of fried dough?
