If it weren’t for Canada I’d have fewer gritty reboots to ignore completely the way I ignored Anne of Green Gables throughout my life.

“pass-duh pasta” should have different vowel sounds at the beginning, but the same vowel sounds at the end.

So all the elderly relatives I have on FB just went nuts over this:
the word “Police” on a crusier… in arabic! /gasp /shock /faint
look at the writing on the back of police car
SO IT STARTS – THE LITTLE TOE IS IN THE DOOR ALREADY.
WELL NOW - How do you like this ? THIS IS OUR ONTARIO ! !
Why is this acceptable? and who in hell authorized it ???
Not even French

From the article:
To date, there’s been no record of anyone complaining about the cars’ Vietnamese, Chinese, Persian or Polish characters.

If it wasn’t for Canada, we’d have less self-censorship in technical talks!
I originally presented this talk on ebook markup to an audience of ebook developers and publishers. As someone who cares deeply about accessibility and discovery, it’s a subject that tends to get me agitated, but I tried to be extra-polite because my audience was Canadian. [emphasis added]

When historians look back at this time they are going to see an 11 year gap in all sorts of useful data. Census to scientific studies. Harper muzzled them all. And Alberta was his seat of power (which is weird for a Toronto born boy, like pretending to be from Texas when raised in Connecticut)
Hello from London Town! This canuck is going down the pub!

Okay I’ll give you that we wouldn’t have those stupid data sets, but saying that the world wouldn’t have any is just giving us far too much credit.

It is one of the few scores that uses artillery… on purpose.
