I’m just saying this seems in line with all the tropes about Canada and ultra-civility. I said it was ‘on brand’ not ‘true to form’. Seems people don’t understand the difference between concept and actuality.

Reply to comment by ZirePhiinix in TIL after her death, Mercy Brown's heart and liver were burned and the ashes mixed into a tonic that was given to her sick brother to drink. Her father believed that she was a vampire and that the tonic would cure the brother of tuberculosis. It didn't; he died two months later. by NightVisible3767
