It's funny hearing people say this here in Canada. Like we have polar bears and moose and shit. A moose will fuck you up a lot worse than a big spider or whatever. I'm much more fearful of our wildlife.

Yeah exactly right? I've had Americans tell me that snakes and spiders are too scary, snakes will actively run from people (mostly) and spiders don't care about you they just want flies and stuff.

Meanwhile in NA you've got powerful prey species that will just randomly wander through town, not to mention all the gun violence in the USA...

Most dangerous thing here are the cars tbh.

Moose and bears may break my bones, but spiders will always scare me. Plus Bullwinkle would have a hard time sneaking into my bed or shoe unnoticed...

Don't worry, we have plenty of venomous spiders as well!
