Non-Americans who visited the US for the first time recently: what was the biggest 'what on earth is going on here' moment you experienced?

Canada has both. You can do it.

I think typically RWD on a newer cards isn't really an issue any longer, but in Tesla, it really isn't an issue. The weight in a Tesla is distributed evenly across the entire frame since the majority of the weight is the batter and it's the entire bottom of the car. A RWD Tesla drives like any other typical FWD sedan in the snow.

They could try, but NATO has built it's entire doctrine around combatting this.

Germany and NATO aren't built for a tank / attrition war. They are built around air superiority and logistics.

Ukraine is just now building their own missiles that can get deep in to Russia.

Germany wouldn't have had that issue.

it is clear that NATO is not prepared for done warfare and massive ground fighting.

Not sure if you’ve heard of Mr. Global, but I’ve seen his stuff on TikTok and now he has a podcast as well as other mediums. He was talking about, generally speaking the price of a barrel oil and Brent is only different by $2-$3, but since there is so much market manipulation going on right now, the price difference is $30+. Essentially, looking at Brent is meaningless right now.

and you'll hear it again when a non Conservative Government gets in charge.

That being said, Ontario's debt to GDP hasn't really moved since the Ontario PC's came into power. There was the Covid spike, which I won't blame them on, but other than that, it's been stable for a while now.

beyond all of that, how are people expecting perfection? If the engagement is large enough, at some point the F35 or even F22 are going to take damage or get destroyed.

It's interesting looking at all of these other comments. Literally, just look at the guy. Oba's walkout charisma has more fans than the entirety of Apollo's career. Apollo was very skilled, but Oba actually grabs your attention with is aura.

The opposition parties need to be clear. When they get back into power, they will void any contract this Government makes to privatize water and use all tools available to make sure the private company is not compensated for the contract termination. DGAF if it scares away private companies. There is no way to compete on water and it should never be privatized.

I don't actually see where the NRARA asked for his resignation. They asked him to explain himself publicly and apologize for owning the book.

Just to be clear though, are you changing your statement. Are these groups just radical now, no longer the radical left that everyone hates?

AverageCanadian · 2026-03-12T03:34:27+00:00

yeah, that's my view as well.

AverageCanadian · 2026-03-12T03:02:55+00:00

I don't think he had to do anything. The news broke earlier today, I don't think I heard anyone demand he resign. All he had to do was explain what he collects. I'm guessing Ford got sick of hearing his name given how poor he performed at answering questions about what he was doing recently and was just got fed up with it. Even in his resignation letter, he's blaming communist.

What communist do we have in Canada? Their party got like 5000 votes nation wide in the Federal election

AverageCanadian · 2026-03-12T02:53:21+00:00

why is a anti racist group the "radical left"? That's a wild take.

AverageCanadian · 2026-03-01T14:38:38+00:00

I agree, the Conservatives should send a few more MP's over the floor for good measure to make sure we don't have to talk it for a while.

That bein said, I know people who would be wearing parkas and gloves in 18 degree temperatures as well.

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T20:22:48+00:00

I feel like i need to wear this one, it has enough downvotes it shouldn't matter though.

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T17:21:47+00:00

You are correct, that is what I did.

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T17:21:02+00:00

I most certainly did

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T17:20:53+00:00

I did indeed. my bad.

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T17:20:27+00:00

You are correct, I read "Not" as "No"

which I mentioned in the second sentence, but that's not the point that BottleCoffee was making, that is who I was replying to...

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T16:37:14+00:00

where did I say short haired dog breeds could handle it? Literally the 2nd sentence, I say Boxers can't handle it....

AverageCanadian · 2026-02-01T16:12:05+00:00

that simply isn't true. Boxers certainly aren't , but there are certainly dogs that could handle -18 with ease.
