I feel like much of the world is pretty indifferent... people have negative feelings but they have their own regional geopolitical issues that don't concern the US... I mean how often in your day does Russia come up as a topic? A few places are legitimately worried about a US invasion but otherwise life goes on.

I think the only way customers will move is if a small chain can compete with McDonalds price-wise for the same market segment, and offer a better experience, while of course preserving their wage system.

As it is right now, this burger chain just doesn't have the same customer base as McDonalds.... it's like American…

Phillip Pullman trilogy, starting with the Golden Compass... they're really great with a positive message.

It's true, there was was a failure to secure buyers (especially the US), and the project ran over budget, and Canadian defence politics are always wonky... but the reality is that these type of planes: really big dedicated interceptors meant for stopping bombers, where just on their way out, soon to replaced by…

There's Germany though (neither food nor music... I'm sorry), but it would seem to apply to Iceland, Canada, the UK... although maybe in Southern Europe it starts to go awry as you have Spain and France, or across the sea Brazil.

Alot of countries have restrictions like this to protect/promote their native industries. Canada is an example when it comes to music, South Korea when it comes to film... it can be annoying for domestic consumers, but like in the above two examples, it can also create the economic space for an industry to exist that…

Hmmm... ya know, I kinda like the experimental colouring of it, although maybe just because that's how it's been fixed in my head since childhood. I've seen models where they made the red less orange looking... I think sometimes the colour reproduction in the vintage photos goes really towards orange maybe more than…

I think because there were only pro-types not so many versions ever existed. I've only ever seen it like above and this bellow... but I don't know for sure. I've seen models that looked similar but with some more maple leaf markings.

Looks a bit like the Avro Arrow, which was cancelled in Canada for some related reasons (missile batteries + ICBMs making it obsolete).

It's like the Texas of Germany... farm and country-accents stereotypes galore.

Foveon sensors are also notoriously terrible in low light, and become mostly unusable at ISOs higher than 400. Their reputation is made in great colours, and great micro-detail relative to sensor size (they too have generally lower megapixel counts). Phenomenal landscape cameras Foveons are, but hobbled by poor…

It's a shame they don't take a different approach: like I'm sure Sigma for example also struggles, but they do manage to turn out innovation for a more (economically) average consumer. The problem is that like Hasselblad, Leica's become a luxury brand, and I'm sure their leadership is reluctant to risk that…

Academic fan-base: living the dream.

That's really awful... it's not often, but I've had a few times where I've felt unsafe on the BVG from drunk people or rowdy groups. I don't know what their security situation is like, but especially at night it seems like you hardly see any transit employees around.

The culture surrounding the wall and the memory of…

This is a bit of a low blow maybe... but I wonder if the article in question got cross-posted to Kotaku? The comments sections for their articles regarding anything related to gender are crazy, and they've spilled over before through Kotaku cross-posting Gawker or Jezebel articles.

I'm not sure how they compare to the American laws, but the provincial offence in Canada for street-racing is a fine up to $10, 000 in addition to license-destroying implications that will make his insurance insane in the future. The criminal side (which can be pursued by the federal government in addition to the…

A few years back Canada's drone program wasn't very good- it lost a bunch a in Afghanistan from mechanical failures and I don't think it actually has a regular fleet, just test versions.

Heck, the front-loaders that cost several million dollars to blow up might have even been bought by NATO development efforts to construct civilian things in the first place. :/

Seriously... when you think about how much money these mandatory quarantining procedures most cost, versus the aid that wasn't sent early in the epidemic.

As someone from one of those communities in the GTA, I can also say that the "Uh how do you pronounce that name?" thing also applies. :)
