I frequently wonder how many American / Canadian differences can be chalked up to this single PSA that ran during the 90s:

what differences. Most provinces are acting like states now. Also, house hippos are real, unlike birds.

I wish we could emulate this. Even on a small scale and just grow it but we have actual ghouls in control.

We should all be following their example quickly. Interestingly, they say this in the article:

What we have done can’t easily be replicated in other countries, but the EU targets can serve as a guideline.

I'm not sure exactly why they're saying that it's hard to replicate what they've done - although considering how smart they are with infrastructure and education in their society, they might be talking about the amount of time and consensus it takes to achieve that.

Its hard to replicate because it requires a shift in culture of multiple generations. The simple fact is Americans dont trust government or institutions and they are actively ignorant on most subjects and will not agree on anything.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
