There are many moving pieces.
Darned right! When they play “O Canada” at hockey games, our players will sit down. That’ll show ‘em!

Didn't the US Government nationalize General Motors in 2009? Doesn't GM sell/export cars internationally? I don't believe Bombardier received the same type of full investment (not apples to apples comparison) but the level of political hypocracy is unbelievable.

I do believe this will be settled and no doubt NAFTA negotiations are a prime consideration. Meanwhile, the US and UK are simultaneously working on a post-Brexit trade agreement - I'd hate to be in that negotiation right now!

Can't help but sing O Canada. I mean really, who doesn't want to sing that?

Illy grocery store signs make me feel at home. French is no longer a language you laugh at but now you savor, like the baguettes. And poor provicincial towns. And Emma Watson... oh wait, that's not new.

When I stay at our MCO overnight, I study what the Brits wear at the IHOP. Even the Brits who you feel like shouting "HEY I THINK YOUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER LOOKS LIKE A STRIPPER AND IT'S FRANKLY GROSS!"

I even am thinking about getting some tats and ear rings.

I wear shoes that I'm not 100% are men's shoes. But unisex is in, eh? <- eh is for David purdy

And I wear skinny jeans and love it.

Merci Beaucoup y'all.
Dude.



Too far man. Too far.

Lots of moving parts for sure....and not just in the new triple spool RB211 RR had developed for the tristar.

all parties in this brawl are looking for advantage and I'm sure some economic retribution.

This 1982 book told the story of that ruthless (and ruinous) competition:
