Seems like he jumped between London and Windsor during his early years, then nationally and internationally once the band hit its stride, naturally.

Make sure you buy Canadian potatoes only — bud the spud is always watching.

I used to raise rabbits and you’d be surprised how nasty they can be once they choose violence. I’ve got a massive scar on my chest from one jumping off of me — albeit that was a Flemish Giant. A bit bigger than your typically cottontail lol

I got off that train a month ago. As soon as he got elected I knew I was returning to Canada. I’d rather watch the train wreck than be on it.

Capitalism, albeit with its inherent flaws, can only work at its best when there is an excess of competition for the producers and choices for the consumers. If America wants to return to domestic production, they need a new wave of anti trust laws. Break apart monopolies and tighter regulation.

Isn’t this why people say modern American cars suck because they face minimal competition? Americans will become the most captive consumers in the world at this rate with minimal choice and their industry facing zero competition.

Just out of curiosity, what ended up costing more than you expected? I’m looking to do similar trips in the future. At least exploring more of Ontario and the east coast of Canada.

I’ll do the inverse:
Ready Player One was very fun to read. Is it a modern Odyssey or a new pillar of modern literature? Hell no. But listening to Green Day and other 2000s punk and reading it all in one sitting is the best way to read it and would recommend.

Fascinating read, fantastic jazz musician! Early transgender history is always worth highlighting — trans folk have always been present.
Is it known why she remained a US citizen? Were the laws different then, or was it a personal choice?
A Canadian icon regardless.

The new bridge in Windsor connecting to Detroit is gonna be named after him. Excited to cross it for the first time in the near-ish future.

Perhaps too simple, but an extra bit of money so he can spend some time going to outings or events and meet some new buds. When I went to college there was a few things I had to pass on because I just couldn’t afford it.
Worse case, he spends it on some fast food inbetween classes.

If you’re Canadian living right on the border you use almost all spellings interchangeably and both imperial and metric, and both Celsius and Fahrenheit. F for hot things and baking, C for cold things.
Was so frustrating learning to spell while growing up, seeing two different ways to do it.

Just heard he is stepping down as NDP leader too. Excited to see what direction the NDP goes going forward under new leadership. All the parties were overdue for fresh leadership I think.

That’s the disingenuous tactics of the conservatives. “It” can be whatever you want it to be. It lets a person hear what they want to hear, and also avoid stating explicit policy that can be publicly scrutinized.
It’s cowardly, to say the least.

More and more people are beginning identify with their home state first and as an American second. Bipartisan too. I honestly think that we will see the collapse of the US in my lifetime, officially or de facto.

Don’t blame them. Why sink with the ship when it’s the captain rocking the boat?
Let’s treat individual states as their own sovereign countries. Stop talking to the US fed gov, let’s talk to New Yorkers, Californians, Michiganders directly.
Surely the party of small fed gov wouldn’t mind?

Of all the people I’ve spoken to, I think I can safely say all this 51st state nonesense is not the will of the American people. This is not a betrayal by the common American. It’s whether or not those in the pilot seats will respect that will or not that makes me worry.

I’m living in the US atm (working on fixing that ASAP), and will be voting from abroad. This will be my first Canadian election of many in my life. I’ve been nothing but tense since December, a LPC win will do wonders for my worries. Carney is the guy we need right now.

For example, there was one poll that showed LPC in the lead by +15%! But most show them in the lead by more around 4-7%. So a high lead poll, while possibly true, should safely be taken with a grain of salt.
Nothing is concrete until the actual vote. It’ll be interesting to see how accurate after
