FFS hops are a preservative that make beer taste terrible. Why would anyone want an extra hoppy beer.

Canada is joining the EU.

Why a separatists movement now, when Canada can join the EU. Quebec gets to be closer to France with Canada joining the EU.

They've killed off the 50cc Vespa gas scooter, just too good of a technology. The old 50cc's were a pain, have to gas them up, and not always starting. Couldn't bring them inside, too dirty of a motorcycle. It'll be a slow change, still a newish technnology. Much to figure out about using them in traffic and such.

They are an amazing technology. Slowly they will change transportation in cities. A 120 km/h and a 100 km range is a game changer.

We wrote a Charter of Rights and Freedoms, those words are real, the judge just dismissed it. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a useless piece of paper because these judges did not stand up for it.

The judges are hiding behind a bunch of legalese, out of cowardice. Everyone agrees that is an idiot Ford waging a dumb culture war, and putting lives at risk. At least the first judge called it the way it is, and had some guts.

If judges don't stand up to stupid people, a major and fundamental aspect of democracy is gone.

The Democratic party is too big of a tent, trying to merge blue collar workers, academic hippies, and champagne liberals. It doesn't work, it is failing as a party.

  1. Livestock accounts for about 20% of greenhouse gasses and 65% of agricultural land is used to grow feed for animals.

  2. It can't always be the carrot ... sometimes it needs to be the stick.

Still, people eating too much meat.

 

Since the 1960s America has taxed light trucks being imported. Because America didn't have to build light trucks to compete internationally they lost the international market on light trucks. Now nobody wants to buy American cars and trucks because they are not as good as what others countries build. So now America has put up high tariffs to make itself even more isolationist, since they can't compete.

 

N. American cars are garbage. Our garbage car economy is garbage.

What about all the other industries?

 

Ridings in Ontario were historically about 5000 people, with very large ridings hitting 8,000, and nothing in the double digits. Today ridings are 100,000 people.
