That's funny! No worries I was just venting about Alberta, I feel much better now for having done so😃.

Haha — glad to hear it :) after I did it I tried to figure out how to let you know but it wouldn’t let me at you! And two John’s came up with a Substack avatar so that didn’t help. Ergh lol

We need to have a discussion on how in the last decade the auto sector is moving towards the production of disposable cars and how they can’t be repaired once the warranty expires. People starting to take notice. The auto industry are making it prohibitively expensive to carry on any type of repairs on your own. They want you to walk into a showroom and buy a new car. Trouble is there’s a significant portion of the population who can’t afford a new car and are in danger of being pushed out of the car market.

My uncle ranted about this to me once. Said how back in the day there was so much room, you could do most of the work yourself but today they’ve made it fit so tightly you need special tools. Very prohibitive.

I remember more of the US history than ours as well; and the USSR (as it was then) and China. I don’t really remember many others.

I remember some bits about Klein but i didn’t know about treating opposition as lesser than. Seriously messed up.
