Another interesting thing I noticed is that when traveling Americans are asked where they're from, they'll say their state rather than their country. I wonder why.

I wonder if they could refuse to put tariffs on. Not that it would make much difference. They're a small market. It would be more than just words on a paper.

Yeah. I found that weird. I was there for a month last year. They seem to hold no animosity for the atomic bombs. Vietnam keeps the war memory fresh and many times, we made sure people knew we were Canadian because they do not like Americans.

Too bad. We could use a competitor to Tesla.

 

I see that Canada's EV car, the Arrow 2.0 is showing at a global trade fair in Germany. The prototype has been around for a couple of years. Is it any closer to the production phase?

 

We just got back from 7 weeks in Europe and I was really sorry we hadn't put on any Canadian tags on our backpacks or clothes. People (Canadians included) are hesitant to talk to you and they treat you with caution or hostility until they find out you're Canadian.

That's all the reason Trump would need to invade Canada.

It's so weird. They trash talk Quebec all the time and yet they want to be like them.

Why are libraries selling books? Is it possible somebody mistranslated the word librairie (meaning bookstore in French) as library?

Thanks. That's good advice.

One question: Are there any unspoken rules about posting/responding on Lemmy?
