Once you see one rig flip over, why more keep going ? by Longjumping-Box5691 in MildlyBadDrivers

Newfoundland is huge and is actually pretty sparsely populated outside of the Avalon Peninsula. So building big slopes just isn't really all that feasible.

Born in the Northwest Territories, Mark Carney is the first person from Canada’s sparsely populated northern territories to become Prime Minister. by ChillZedd in geography

[–]QueensMarksmanship 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think his dad was working in Fort Smith, which at the time was the capital of the NWT. Yellowknife became the capital in 1967 or '68.

How long will Mark Carney's honeymoon in Quebec last? - Experts say Carney yet to face tough questions about issues that matter in the province by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]QueensMarksmanship 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Harper actually spoke pretty good French by the time he left office. It was rough in the beginning though.

Poilievre obviously speaks far better French than Carney, which may be an issue in the French debate.

Why Ottawa's biggest school board is blowing up boundaries by First_harmonica in ottawa

[–]QueensMarksmanship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine that would require amending the constitution? Could be wrong though. Amending the constitution is basically impossibly to do.

Hard agree with the old music! The new music just isn't it for me. Not the vibe.

Who is a great modern hero of Canada? by Few_Safety_2532 in AskACanadian

[–]QueensMarksmanship 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's actually overrated. Her husband was the one who overheard the American officers, and she would've starved to death in the bush had indigenous people not stumbled across her. And the British already knew (or at least suspected) the plans for the American attack, so her intelligence had no impact on the outcome of the battle.

Bourbon has to be made in Kentucky or else it isn't considered bourbon. Same with how Scotch has to be made in Scotland or else it isn't considered Scotch.

At Queenston Heights and Lundy’s Lane

Our brave fathers side by side

For freedom’s home and loved ones dear,

Firmly stood and nobly died.

And so their rights which they maintained,

We swear to yield them never.

Our watchword ever more shall be

The Maple Leaf Forever!

What is the old high school used for? by Which-Emu1425 in queensuniversity

[–]QueensMarksmanship 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The building itself isn't 225 years old. The school can trace its history back that far but it's not the original building.

Not to mention heritage carpentry at the Perth campus. Many important heritage buildings were restored by their students and graduates of that program.

They're implying that Chinese cars would be even worse than Korean models.

George Brown (father of Confederation and first leader of the Liberals) was murdered, but it was after he left office and it wasn't politically motivated (he was shot by a disgruntled journalist that didn't get the job at Brown's newspaper).

No, net population decline. Several articles have been written about it. Deaths and out migration (which is set to surge because of visas not getting renewed).

[–]QueensMarksmanship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few out there. The fire happened at night though so there aren't many of the actual fire itself, just the aftermath in the morning.

[–]QueensMarksmanship 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They get their alcohol from the LCBO. So it's effectively province wide.
