Neat, I stand corrected.
I doubt the french history teacher I had who taught me that is still alive though.


French predates English.
Also, bold calling a language silly in english


Russia == Rossiya doesn’t belong in that list.


We can’t determine if you are an adult.
But we can determine that you are old enough to see sign company ads. Because kids own businesses.


The best thing is that the UN reported on the cause of the failure:
Automatic safety stop at the combs. Probably caused by his backwards facing videographer that went up before him.
His incessant need for publicity and fame caused the stop.


Hold up, what is this source?
“The US/NATO instigated war in Ukraine.” What?


In a word, yes.
They know it benefits them more than us, so they make it opt-out.


If its on the road in BC, it needs to be licensed with ICBC, unless you’re a recent transplant from elsewhere. Exceptions exist for e-scooters and ebikes, but they also aren’t technically allowed on open road.
ICBC’s base insurance looks expensive, but it delivers better base insurance than most other places extended insurance.


I cant wait to see how Ursula von der Leyen surrenders this to Trump.


Conspiracy Theory Time: Trump is working on hedging the things Canada can fuck him over with so that he can complete his goal of conquering and annexing Canada. • He needs dirty Venezuelan oil to replace tar sand oil. • He needs Russian Potash and Aluminium to hedge against Canada’s near monopoly with those products in the US.


A note that Aerospace has absolutely leaned into 3D printing metal parts since they can make parts much lighter and be just as strong.
The main use of LLMs, as far as I can see, is to replace the very people pushing it on everyone.


Stephen Harper, Pierre Poilievre and the CPC began the process of gerrymandering Canada to match GOP attempts in the states.
As example: in Vancouver you have a riding that is two physically distinct pieces of land that you have to travel through two other ridings to get to.


The reality is that the 35% tariff doesn’t actually amount to much since USCMA/NAFTA basically shields 80-90% of Canadian goods.
The nasty ones are the processed lumber, steel and aluminium tariffs.


Russia (from my armchair) looks to be essentially a colony of China at this point, and China has most of a supply line that ignores western nations.
Except for tech, which they still have to steal from us.


Yeah, but particular to the softwood lumber thing is that for 20 years they’ve been working to get unlimited access to our forests. It really kicked off when Harper completely capitulated to Dubya basically as soon as he got into office. Its been a constant fight since then.
It kicked into high gear with Trump 2.0


No, the softwood duties, thanks to Harper capitulating and Trudeau not giving a shit about BC, have resulted in raw logs being shipped to the US and utterly devastating small town BC.
Edit: which is how small town BC went from mixed NDP/CPC to matching Alberta’s idiocy.


Nah, the long standing intent is to bankrupt all BC logging companies.
They want unfettered access to BC’s forests. Sadly, conservatives up here have almost given them that.
We need a 200% export tax on raw materials leaving Canada.


Retroactively gifting it doesn’t erase that he stole it
Thats nice mozilla.
Installed and set up Librewolf yesterday. Absolutely recommend to everyone.
