Replace Canada day with Reconciliation Day?

Let me know when you shut down the courts.

Done and done... It's a stat holiday today.

So then, exactly how long does one put their life on hold prior to movin' on down the line?

Wouldn't know. Never done it. The one serious lawsuit I was involved in as a party, I worked, played, took holidays, &c. while it proceeded.

Were you under the impression that one who seeks redress for harm must put her life on hold whilst the process plays out?

 

[petros]

I still forgive you.

It's what you implied.. Not me

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Ah, right. Have a great day.

 

[captain morgan]

Will do... Off for some post Canuck Day beer.

In advance, Happy 4th to you and yours

So how does that scale? Would you recommend to someone screwed by their mechanic, or injured by a defective product, or struck by a drunk driver, to get on with their lives?

After due compensation, of course I would. What the hell else are they supposed to do, Tec - forever wallow in their victimhood?

I come to the same conclusion you do. I oppose all special status, special programs, and special money for Indians. My reasons are just different from yours.

I oppose special status for anyone.

 

[petros]

I oppose special status for anyone.

I truly forgive all of them.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

That's kinda the problem. What compensation is due?

What the hell else are they supposed to do, Tec - forever wallow in their victimhood?

I'd have 'em live (or die) like all other Canadians.

I oppose special status for anyone.

Me, too. It doesn't help.

Well, let me draw back on that a bit. I favor special status for individuals, for good cause shown.

The wheel was not known as a transportation aid or device. There was one small area, I think, in Mexico, that used something circular in another manner. And I'm not putting down natives. From what I've read the wheel was discovered by someone somewhere, and spread from there in all directions. It was likely one of those one-off things, and there's no evidence anyone else anywhere else ever thought of it. Thus it's quite likely that it would never have been thought of here either, had Europeans not introduced it.

There is a reason why the wheel was not used in the Americas - there was a lack of draft animals - no horses, cattle, mules, and so on. A wheel would have been pretty much useless.
