Canadians have opinions about what to call a summer getaway.
Fiery opinions.
An Alberta-born Ottawa Citizen staffer caused a ruckus on Friday when he disparaged the term “cottage,” declaring that the Western Canadian term “cabin” is by far the superior one.
Cottage is one of the worst words ever written. It’s a cabin, dammit.

Journalists from across the country jumped into the crucial dispute, and soon the Prime Minister’s chief advisor was weighing in during his summer vacation. (Though seriously: “bungalow”??)
Here’s your chance to settle this! And we’ve recapped the heated argument below, in case you need to hear all sides before casting your vote.

@CarrieTait @sproudfoot @tylerrdawson please disregard @acoyne's betrayal. Manitoba is absolutely cabin country. Cottage = fancy people.

Cabins are for beards, brews, and bad decisions involving fire. Cottages are for ascot-lovers. #teamcabin https://t.co/h0SVSex2O0

@CarrieTait @tylerrdawson @acoyne Plot twist: where I come from, it's a camp.
— Shannon Proudfoot (@sproudfoot) August 12, 2016
Camp: must have tents.
Bungalow: bungalow.
Cottage: fancy bungalow, likely in central Canada.
Cabin: bungalow not on Cape Breton.

@CarrieTait @gmbutts @tylerrdawson Cottage is for rich posh ppl. camp is for tents/going hunting. cabin is for drinking.

@plaiddnnrjacket @acoyne @tylerrdawson I refer to the woodsy retreat of one close friend as his "shack." But that's because it's a shack.
