I cannot express adequately how different blades are from each other. Some are smoother than others, some are sharper and some improve after a few uses. Some last longer.

I have fairly fine whiskers, so I don't need a crazy sharp blade like Feather. My skin is also a bit sensitive, so a smooth blade is best.

For me Big Ben, blades made by Lord in Egypt are really good. One of the versions of Shark, also made by Lord are pretty good too.

I find Wilkenson Sword blades to be horribly scratchy, and the name for some of the Gillette blades. Voskhod aren't bad, except they are Russian.

You don't realize how different they are until you try.

Blades vary greatly between brands. Get a sampler pack from eBay to find ones you like. Then buy them in bulk. 100 blades will generally cost from $8-$14, depending on the brand. Some, like Feather, are more expensive.

The key word is "immediately". It is within his power to delay the byelection for months.

We'll, the article was about the jobs maintaining the robots, not humans building stuff in factories.

I'm not so sure about the "jaws of Victory" bit. I think that Canadians were just fed up with Trudeau, couldn't bring themselves to vote NDP and ended up polling Conservative. So it wasn't really support for PP, but unsupport for Trudeau.

Take Trudeau out of the equation and the Liberals came flooding back to the party.

I'm not sure that I can remember that being done for any leader at the federal level in the past 50 years or so. We'll have to wait and see.

He still gets to be party leader, but he cannot sit in Parliament. There are two remedies for this. First, the party can choose a new leader from their elected MPs. Second, they can have an MP in a "safe" riding step down and then ask the government for a special by-election in that riding.

I call BS.

I'm Canadian and my parents immigrated here from England before I was born. I have a UK passport as well as a Canadian passport.

I'm not English-Canadian, I'm just Canadian. No one hyphenates in Canada, and you cannot say that Canada has any more unifying cultural heritage than the USA.

The US has been there before with the Nullification Crisis of 1832. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullification_crisis?wprov=sfla1
