I wish Canada didn't burn fossil fuels for power but as an Albertan I can promise you that we do.

Memes only matter if they effect revenue. If profit climbed then the stupid stays.

Specifically from Tim Hortons, which despite not having been Canadian in ages still gets treated like a Canadian icon.

But as a result yeah, often referred to that way in common culture.

Generally in lakes it's more people boating who drown. They are far from shore and can get hurt in a capsize easily

As a Canadian it looks like a timbit being used for scale

It's two cartons of eggs, each container is a dozen and a half. Eggs are normally in units of a dozen so keeping that as a consistent unit across multiple brands and styles makes sense. Costco normally indicates how many things are packaged together more than the overall total. It's useful to know the format.

If it was on tray of 36 eggs the would have used 3 dozen and the indicator to keep it consistent with the standard unit of eggs.

They hand waved away the holodeck power thing in Voyager by days something along the lines of it is a different type of power that wasn't worth trying to convert to normal power for some reason. Basically just another Voyager excuse to ignore the premises of the show unless they happen to be bored that day.

Also a voters pay and retirement benefits are not likely to be impacted by how they vote. Civil service it can make a huge difference in the long run if you retire vs get dismissed.

As much as that is a wonderful sentiment. Retirement vs firing might make a substantial difference in their quality of life i. Retirement whereas getting fired is a symbolic gesture that may or may not have any impact at all. I can understand trying to make sure that personally you come out as on as possible.

As an Alberta I resent the accuracy of your assessment....
