Ahh yes, famously warm Wisconsin.

I'd say China. Not because they're inherently better, but because they at least seem to be relatively stable and run by people who appear to be sane.

But really I'd just rather not put myself in any situation where I'd have to trust either of them.

And making it even harder would've been the fact that he makes it well known a significant portion of the people working on his show are members of his family.

To me a standard American accent sounds like they're replacing the OU with AW, "abawt". Or maybe "abowt" if they pronounced it like the bow of a ship (not like a fancy knot or the weapon).

They didn't know what country you were from but were fairly confident on continent, and if you had said North American no one would've cared.

Don't forget the other >80 million who, at best, didn't care enough to vote against it.

£7.50 for a flight? That's insane! I'd be going on vacation once a month if I could score a single flight for even 10x that.

Well, I guess maybe novelty has something to do with it for both of us. I will say though without a doubt, Sonic is by far worse than Tim Hortons and any other fast food I've ever tried.

Man you must've visited the best Tim Hortons on a good day and also the worst In-N-Out and Chick-Fil-A if you think Tims is better. I might forgive you if you haven't tried Tim's in the past 20 years though, back when everything was made in store.

If 107 didn't exist I bet this would've been solved closer to February.

I think it's a combination of their consistent and obvious decline in quality, combined with the fact that most people in this country have been regular customers for at least some period of their life. Very few fast food chains are as widespread and common in small communities (McDonald's and subway come to mind). I don't remember any other fast food chains getting worse almost overnight, but I do remember Tim's switching to much worse bread on their sandwiches, and their donuts going from fresh, to frozen but decorated, to whatever you call the attempted smearing of nearly solid "icing" on top. Are other chains any better? I can't say for sure, but I can say Tim's at any previous point in history was.

How come no one made a big deal about Marine Atlantic, an actual federal Crown Corporation, buying their latest ship from the exact same shipyard? The whole reason BC Ferries is technically a "private" company (wholly owned by the government) is to keep the money separate from the government budget. If the government wants to dictate exactly how the company runs, they should re-absorb it (provincially) or properly fund it like transportation in the east (federally).

And for the record, I have no love for the company, but as an Islander we need ferries yesterday and arguing isn't going to get anything built any sooner.
