Many people enjoyed a free breakfast on Saturday at Windsor, Ont.‘s restaurant, Toast, as an unknown American couple paid for everyone’s bill. The gesture acted as an apology for the rift between Canada and the U.S.

Windsorite Susan Taylor was at Toast, ready to pay for her breakfast when she was told the bill had been covered.

“The waitress made an announcement in the restaurant that this lovely couple in the corner is paying for everyone who is in the restaurant at the time for breakfast,” Taylor told AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg.

“She (the donor) said that she was American, and she just wanted to apologize,” said Taylor.

“She said she knows that their president has caused a rift in what was happening between our countries, and she wanted us to know that not all Americans are bad people.”

        It’s the ratio of likes/dislikes: OP’s ratio of likes/dislikes was shit compared to the person responding to them. That’s not typically how that works out, since the OP usually has more eyes, and thus votes, than the replies.

        As a result, when it happens, it’s really noticeable and REALLY sticks out and says something, so it’s called getting ratio’d.

        Getting ratio’d is something to be deeply embarrassed of.

        When a reply gets more likes/reposts/upvotes than the original post. E.g. the ratio being bigger
