ot Canadian Word of the Day (CWD)

Live with Kelly is in Canada this week. I think they are in Bamf? But they did a bit called "Canadian Word of the Day". Today's word was "Toque". Which is a hat. To me it would be a Navy Watch Cap. Other's might call it a Ski Hat.

Just thought I'd throw this out since I know we have a lot of CN readers/posters. Anyone else following along at home?

because:

The tuque is similar to the Phrygian cap and, as such, during the 1837 Patriotes Rebellion a red tuque became a symbol of French-Canadian nationalism. The symbol was revived briefly by the Front de libération du Québec in the 1960s.[5] It is considered outerwear and is not commonly worn indoors.

Oh and that is Banf, eh.
