This is a continuation of privatization in the face of lower taxes. Resulting in under resourced local services. Private schools, policing, health care, parks and rec, now fire fighting.

In the 1930s the US had the greatest passenger train system. Time to make America great again.

The Danes should refuse Don Jr etc entry into their sovereign territory of Greenland. By the way a Nato country which hosts a huge strategic US Airforce base at Tulle.

Why did I always believe that in college the Dems were the rule breaking Animal House frat, and the Reps are the strait laced establishment. Role reversal with age.

Elsewhere in the world someone can do these low skill manufacturing job for less. Those high paying jobs are gone forever from North America and western Europe. Ask your plumber neighbor how he is doing, or someone who touches a keyboard? The economy has changed. Trade or tech school.

I worked for a global bank, their mantra was to have a minimum 20 % of employees working remotely. Selfish reasons, save on real estate costs, plus you pay for the electricity, wifi, heat, desk, chair etc etc. They paid for a laptop and a secure connection.

NS is an untapped treasure of bike touring. Based out of Halifax there are multiple routes of backroads to explore; Annapolis Valley, Eastern Shore, Northumberland Strait etc etc with villages offering accommodation and food just kilometers apart. Something NS tourism should exploit more.

Thesis. Post WW II US had a lot of automobile manufacturing capacity. Promoting this industry fulfilled that supply, along with the Oil industry and road building. Train had a lower industrial ceiling.

Other than actually playing hockey , what has he successfully done other than be a shill for gambling and liquor. Now he's pushing drugs. Yes it's a vax but appears to be a pattern.

Not all. Maybe a good third, but in a country of 400mm that's probably over 120mm.

I don’t think the problem with GRX is the hill climbing with the 45 t sprocket the complaint seems to be not enough top speed. Spinning out down the hill.

Can you find 105 as opposed to GRX on any decent gravel bike as they all seem to have jumped to 1 X gearing
