  1. Shady, Great to hear from you. Like my loud, deaf cat.
  2. Maybe. But our federal seats are generally rural. PEI has 4 seats.
  3. Too funny, trop sérieux.
  4. I stand corrected. Your view of Mars is like mine. I thought Venus had no iron core - and no magnetic shield.
  5. Increasingly, passwords require longer, more complicated letters: 12 letters, with capitals and numbers Passkeys. Fingers. Face photos. MFA. Two system verification They ask for your cellphone (mobile/handy) number. Then, the number on the back of your credit card. ====== Artificial Intelligence? I reckon that Artificial Intelligence will not solve this fundamental problem.
  6. Entirely agree. I did the numbers. A 737 Max with 200 passengers is burning fuel (emitting CO2) at about the rate of a very efficient car: 4l/100km EPA calculation. If the car has only one passenger, the rate is to 8l/100km. ===== But Aristides, you miss the point: why are we driving, flying so often?
  7. Huh? It's true! If you drive with two in the car from Montreal to Florida, you emit as much CO2 as if you both flew. I did the numbers. With three in the car, better for the environment. And far more fun.
  8. In Quebec, Sunwing worked. Why destroy a brand name?
  9. I am not amazed that flight attendants/pilots ask for more money when people fly more often. CO2? Who cares.
  10. Some English-Canadians believe that they have a special relationship with Americans. French-Canadians know otherwise.
  11. Disagree. If the Charter of Rights has any meaning, Tamara Lich will be free. Harper gave $10 million to Khadr.
  12. Trump is doing what many leftwing, progressive Canadians are doing. He is encouraging Americans to buy local.
  13. How did this Summer 1914 happen? ==== Ferdawsakes, Putin/Trump - make peace. Alaska. This is NOT Munich.
  14. The Monghols occupied Russians for 200 years The Turks occupied Bulgarians for 500 years. Putin famously said that Koreans will eat grass. ===== Like LBJ, O'Reilly understands America. But unlike Nixon, he is clueless about the world.
  15. But they loved the local gossip. ===== In French Quebec, this still exists.
  16. Dan Rather, Bernard Derome are different. ===== People bought the paper for the classified ads. And the sports scores, or the cinema times.
  17. Mars is similar. It is insanely cold. Neither planets have a magnetic shield. ==== I reckon that we should send smart AI robots to figure out why Venus happened.
  18. Whatever. IME, the morning meal is the culture tell of a person. Later in the day, we try different food.
  19. Herbie, True. But at a price well beyond what ordinary Europeans or Americans pay. ==== We Canadians have no choice. We must buy Canadian cheese. Trump is correct. Some people are left-handed, others right. Give us choice.
  20. Slow news. Fires? Canada? Climate change? If it bleeds, it leads.
  21. Our Charter of Rights restricts the State: what the State can do. The US Constitution explains the various powers of a federal State. And then, in an amendment, it leaves all power to the individual. Power is control.
  22. IMHO, there are three views of New York City: -Mazursky -Woody Allen -Scorcese
  23. Disagree. Strongly. We Canadians cannot buy foreign cheese.
