Canada’s population density is stretched over the 100 mile wide border with the US for all intents & purposes, which is irrelevant, & new Canadians aren’t settling in the unsettled portions, which is relevant. There’s only so many hospitals and doctors and housing and so on and so forth…& that...

What are Palestine’s borders? What are Israel’s borders? Depends on who you talk to I guess. Is Gaza part of Palestine? Is Israel part of Palestine? From the river to the sea, money for nothing and the chicks for free? Like the Afghanistani’s that fought the Russians in the 80’s, before...
