Nah. I have a handheld and an Oster that does fine. Don't need another Instant Pot. We are on a kitchen appliance moratorium. No room at the inn.

That's so romantic.

It's kind of ironic when you considered how the Canadian government started.

"A fourth basic difference between the American and Canadian systems is in the type of federalism they embody. The American system was originally highly decentralized. The federal Congress was given a short list of specific powers; everything not mentioned in that list belonged to the states “or to the people” (that is, was not within the power of either Congress or any state legislature). “States’ rights” were fundamental. The Fathers of Confederation, gazing with horror at the American Civil War, decided that “states’ rights” were precisely what had caused it, and acted accordingly."

Here,”
said Sir John A. Macdonald,
“we have adopted a different system. We have expressly declared that all subjects of general interest not distinctly and exclusively conferred upon the local governments and legislatures shall be conferred upon the general government and legislature. We have thus avoided that great source of weakness that has been the disruption of the United States. We hereby strengthen the central Parliament, and make the Confederation one people and one government, instead of five peoples and five governments, with merely a point of authority connecting us to a limited and insufficient extent.”

No, but they could give you a lecture on your responsibilities as a citizen. Perfect pplication for a social worker.

If you think social workers believe their ‘clients’ have responsibilities you probably haven’t met one in 30 years.

That is true, I haven't and I don't hang with them.

jon's right, they're not big on that. In fairness to them, though, their job is to help them with their rights, whatever that happens to be. (Yeah yeah I know, social workers can really do some damage sometimes because of the leverage they have.)

Definitely a Caucasian nose though. There will be retribution for that. I mean, more retribution than a lightning bolt.

What kind of shitty fire protection do these buildings have that makes such heroic deeds necessary? There should be a proper escape path.

@Horace said in A Tale of Two Boats:

america is smart enough not to do boat tours when there are no people on the boat.

Maybe the people on the American boat thought it was taking them to Canada.

So true

You think the appropriate rate of violence is 1 in every 200 protesters?

What TG said. ♥

And yeah, that's Jayne from Firefly.

The vet should sedate the kitty as soon as possible in those cases. Sometimes it's possible to sedate the cat while it's in the carrier with the owner holding it.
We had a cat like that. She was sweet as can be at home, but at the vet's office .... oh my.

I know all about this.

Very cool stuff!
