Volkswagen is preparing to build a battery plant in Canada that will receive up to $13 billion in subsidies over 10 years.

At the same time, Stellantis is building a battery plant in another part of Ontario that will receive up to $15 billion in subsidies.

And people are worried about Chinese auto makers being subsidized?

Try Language Transfer . A natural method of learning a language, the best I’ve ever seen.

It’s also free!

In a nod to the OP, there is also a short course on music theory.

It’s not even the most corrupt country in the world at this moment, let alone in history. No need for hyperbole, the reality is bad enough.

Does no one else notice how odd it is, that someone who was trained to be a soldier and has all the advantages of terrain, weapons, and surprise was taken out by a couple of cops with pistols?

I mean, all credit to Jeff Smith and his partner who responded with courage, skill, and determination, but I hope the rest of the Canadian armed forces are better than this guy. Who knows when we will have to repel an invasion from the south!

…and I can prove it!

Given the government of Quebec’s recent upgrade of their driver’s license website, costing $1.1 billion, with a similar amount expected for their upgraded health services portal, I’m not sure we can define that as the right choice.

Then the CAQ’s skills in this are about as good as they are in running the province, because the PQ look like they are headed for a win.

I’d like to believe that, but I can’t see it happening.

Of course, there is a tractor company in Alberta, Canada that is making old school tractors without all the bells and whistles, and selling them for a fraction of what John Deere charges.

So maybe…

And because Sheeran doesn’t have to lipsync his concerts.

This is it really good description of Quebec french.

When I lived in Japan, if I was out with my wife people would always speak to her (she was Japanese). My Japanese was reasonably good, and my wife said that there were no real issues with my grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation, but still people didn’t understand me because I was a foreigner and they knew they couldn’t understand foreigners.

People were doing it 50 years ago too.

One feature you may have missed is the way Donaldson borrowed a huge amount of religious symbolism. The first trilogy is all about devotion to The Law, the focus of the Old Testament. The name “Covenant” is another clue.

The second trilogy is about sacrifice with clear references to the New Testament.

After that, I think Donaldson goes of in his own direction, and I don’t find those books as compelling.

I don’t think he is pushing a Christian agenda, or proselytizing on the sly, rather he is using well-known and influential symbolism, the basis for much of our culture, to backdrop the story he is telling.

That makes sense, because the music is repurposed from a musical that Meat and Steinman were writing.

Perry Rhodan

Just be prepared to catch up. They have been publishing weekly novellas since 1961, so they are well over 3,000 issues.

Oh, and if you want to go past the first 140 or so, you will need to learn German!

Check out CloudFlare tunnels. I created a list of e-mails, and only the people who enter the confirmation code sent to those emails get into my home server.

Consider yourself lucky that you haven’t had thick green tea. It is super concentrated, a thick sludge, and even know some people who do tea ceremony in Japan who have trouble drinking it.

One quibble: the oil companies don’t need government subsidies in order to keep the price of fuel down. They are the most profitable corporations in the history of the planet. They need subsidies in order to keep things that way.
