I kinda miss a few opinions on the topic of “screw taste” here. 🥲

    We aren’t calling it a Robertson to honor a dead patent, it’s to show we know the origin as Canadian, and because that’s the name of the thing. Living next to the cultural blackhole of the USA means getting swallowed and erased if we don’t showcase and have pride in what is Canadian. So at least where Canadians are concerned it’s not a square.

      “Robertson” is confusing, “square” is straightforward. This Canadian thinks the name Robertson should be forgotten.
