My last HR rep looked like Ms. Frizzle

I also don't know. That's why it was phrased as a question. I'm not from where you are from. I come from a different country. I asked you a question about a possibility based on my knowledge, and you just tried to gotcha me. What does that do for you? Make you feel superior?

I'm literally just asking questions. I'm not presenting any evidence, I'm not even really making an argument. I'm just devils advocating your spamming that OP is Canadian just because they live in Toronto. As if everybody who lives in Toronto is Canadian.

Some Canadians live in the U.S. too. There are even people who come from both countries. There are people that have multigenerational history in both countries.

Canadian and American culture are inextricably linked. Being mad at my country doesn't change that, and that kind of arrogance will only doom you to repeat our failures.

What economy would Canada have without the U.S., honestly? We're all kind of entangled here in North America. I know you guys are all pissed at us right now, but it was not that long ago that people would call Canada "America's little brother" endearingly

I know it SAYS they live in Toronto, but they also said "Third Grade" and not "Grade Three", as would be proper in Canada. Maybe it's possible they are from the U.S. and currently live in Canada?

It's almost like sometimes people move...

Nothing that you said contradicted anything that I said. We are agreeing.

I have BIG problems with organized religion. But I fucking draw that line at "reeducation camps". Wtf

This is true about almost every vice. That's why Prohibition didn't work. Almost as soon as alcohol was banned, people started making very adulterated products, people died, organized crime became a thing. It's the same idea with cannabis, sex work, other drugs, etc. The result of prohibition is almost always people getting hurt.

Thats a very propertarian view of a non-propertarian issue. You have what you use. What you don't, you don't. If you leave your house vacant for too long a period of time, then somebody might take up residence. But if people don't just move into your home while you're on vacation now, why would they in a hypothetical system where the concept of property is radically different and presumably everybody has a home? Unless you're talking about second homes? Because that's a non starter. Nobody needs more than one home.
