Yep, my fuckup. You would have had to turn 17 on 8 August 1945. Which means you could have been born no later than 8 August 1928. The youngest veteran would be rising 97. Makes me even sadder.

How good the planes, and how staggeringly brilliant the fliers. The Germans are, and were, truly superior pilots, and the Me-109E was a match for the Spit. As well as being the first true air war, the Battle of Britain was the most amazing display of sheer aviation talent the world will ever see.

Not nearly as often as, say, 85 years back. Glad they got out OK. Shame about the Spit. I hope they can patch it up.

And the world economy's been teetering on the brink of recession since then, largely due to Donny Dipshit's brilliant moves.

If you served (legally) in WWII, the latest you could have been born was 8 August 1945. You'd be rising 80 now. The last WWI vet is gone. The WWII vets are going fast. They are the greatest generation.

Cool, but I would have put the warbirds from WWII in their own flight. Can you imagine flight of a Hurricane, a Spit, a Lancaster, and an Albatross? Abso-freakin'-lutely classic!

Freeland.

Your example is correct but irrelevant. Were Alberta and/or Saskatchewan to become a separate country, the newly-minted Westernesse would not be bound by treaties, deals, etc. that Canada made.

Science certainly is fluid to you.

Yep. I was always amused by the frequently-seen, distinctive green enclosed pedestrian overpass in the "Chicago" of Due South. That's "Chicago" spelled T-O-R-O-N-T-O.

A national security threat. Ohhhh. . . KAY! Well, ya can't say he ain't representative of America. "On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." --HL Mencken

Have you tried holding your breath until you turn blue?

OK, so they got in their performative OUTRAGE, and Carny is the PM. Everybody's happy.

Yep, they used the rules as currently written to beat Poilievre. I assume you'd prefer it if only Conservative candidates were permitted to run at all (or at least to win), but that's not going to happen, so I suggest you throw yourself on the floor, kick your feet, and wail "It's not FAIR!"

So. . . past its prime and declining?

Kinda off-topic, but Trump is the greatest thing for left-ish parties around the world since Hitler. Anthony Albanese is the prime minister of Australia. So now you have no excuse for not knowing.

Nope. That works for me. Actually, well done, Flatskatchewan. I think 15% is a good number High enough to show real interest, but not prohibitive in terms of costs to implement.

Hotel taxes in the U.S. vary from 14% to 22% that I know of. Makes sense because the people paying the tax don't vote in the jurisdiction.

Wicked smart, that Laurier. Giving power to the loudly disloyal is suicide.
