No. Foreigners were imposing their laws on our land. Mostly people were being shipped here under "rendition."

Sounds like the same problem we had when y'all showed up.

Ah, I see. If you die from a spontaneously combusting battery, you're LESS DEAD than if you die in an apartment building fire caused by a gas leak.

Spon·ta·ne·ous com·bus·tion /spänˈtānēəs kəmˈbəsCHən/ noun 1.the ignition of organic matter (e.g. hay or coal) without apparent cause, typically through heat generated internally by rapid oxidation.

I think y'all should use firewood. No, wait. . . no trees. Well, shit. Buffalo chips? No, wait. . . no buffalo. Double shit. Guess y'all just gonna have to freeze.

Superconductors.

Silly Ron. The dilithium crystals just focus the power. It's generated by matter-antimatter annihilation.

You live with it now, dipshit. Refinery fires? Oil-well fires? Building fires caused by natural gas leaks? Oil spills? Any of this ringing a bell? I suggest you personally get off the grid and go with wood-burning stoves and whale-oil lamps. They NEVER cause fires!

I ain't the one whimpering that we'll have NO POWER at night on the Plains. I've been saying as long as this sporadic conversation's been going on that fossil will be part of the mix (a decreasing part) for years or decades to come. As far as your idiot government goes, I don't rightly see how...

Ya mean. . . battery backup is unsafe? Oh dear. We'd better rely exclusively on clean, safe, patriotic oil, coal, and natural gas!

No, I'm suggesting that the grid be fed by fossil, wind, solar, hydro, nuclear (and later fusion, tidal, solar-power satellites, and whatever comes next), Are you saying that we've reached the end of the line on electricity generation, storage, and transmission, and no further developments are...

Wow. Power lines. What a trip! You mean you don't need an oil-or-coal fueled generator attached to every electrical device? You don't seem to understand how this works. Solar and wind energy is pumped into the grid. The solar panel factories run off the grid. It's like asking if any of...

Commies.

Building technology requires the use of predecessor technology. The engines for the first Me-262s were delivered by oxcart. Good point about the prairie. If only there were some way to move electricity from place to place!

Exactly. And rat out the priest. "I'll give you the priest I told about it for a lighter sentence."

Maybe they were ridesharing to save money?

A complete handgun ban is primarily intended to choke off supply, legal and illegal. I'm not sure that's possible when you have thousands of kilometres of undefended borders with the most gun-happy country in the world. The key question for anybody serious is how a society can make the...

I remember a while back when they had a porn star in Parliament. It was nice that they had ONE member who wasn't a whore.

No Argos fan, if that's what you mean. I was thinking of the location of the stadium. Forgot for a sec Tim Hortons Field was actually closer. I like the Riders and the Redblacks. Too bad they both suck this year.

To an extent, but if one is to make people who aren't government employees "mandatory reporters," how are clergy different from anybody else? Would you support a law requiring anybody who comes by knowledge, or reasonable suspicion of child abuse, to report it (or else)?
