Imagine knowing RFK jr is in charge of American food safety, and wanting to gamble with that to save a few bucks. I guess when the only thing in life you value is money, it's not hard decision. "Sorry 'bout the salmonella kids, but did you know I saved 50 cents over that communist Quebec cream? And you can't really put a value on that kind of savings. Now stop with the vomiting and eat your cheize."

Times I’ve spent with my wife’s family in the states the milk was undrinkable. Doesn’t taste like milk. Could have been the cheeses they bought but they tasted weird to me too, as did the margarine and the bread.

People who complain about Canadian dairy and hold American dairy up as a standard are some of the weirdest people you’ll meet IRL. I’ve only ever heard it come from the kind of socially awkward types that have never really had an original opinion, but just repeat manufactured tidbits they heard somewhere.
Nobody wishes Canadian dairy was more like American dairy lol.
Though it’s especially funny coming from someone who pretends to live in the US.

I actually searched this, and besides it being distributing I am probably on a list now.

Personally, I think they are real people like you and me who are going to have varying opinions, and different reasons for expressing/not expressing them to different extents. They happen to have a large public profile which means their opinions and voices are heard loudly, which it OK, it's largely the reason we got stuck with Rapey McSmallhands, or Mr Destroy Public institutions from inside the house Regan, down there. Without a media profile he would not have even been noticed in their respective entries into public campaigning. So it is extremely hypocritical at best for someone on the right to critique left wing celebrities on the varasity of their opinions.
On the other hand, these are people who did not choose careers in public policy and critiquing them for not speaking should be no different than critiquing anyone for not speaking. It's a fair opinion that everyone should be speaking about the war crimes, theft, murder and destruction of American society that is happening right now, but I hold the NFL no more responsible for this that some random guy watching the NFL on Sunday morning, and think at best is counter-productive to call one of the two of them out specifically. Everyone should be taking what action they can against the internal attack on the Pax-Americana that is happening right now.

Some people really love to get trampled on. Then wonder, why are we so dependant on a single country? And blame it on the current Canadian government.

At some point, will Republican and Trump supporters ever realize he is well past the expiry date and should just have him replaced for their own good for someone actually functional (even if still corrupt and evil)? He's having complete mental breakdowns on camera and later on they have to bow down to him.

You're not brave or a free-speech warrior for saying this stuff, you're predictable. Every post you've made reads like it was factory assembled from Reddit or X threads. You're a comment section NPC who thinks owning opinions means you don't have to understand them.

I never said anything about the people, you assumed that. It's isolation and low economic opportunities, plus bad policies and inflated costs that cause the burden, not the people, they were fine before Europeans arrived, and actually studies show the Inuit have one of the highest visual/spacial IQs of any ethnicity. Only Scandinavians and Polynesians are higher.
And it really doesn't matter what you think of me or my comments, what matters is what's real, and the fact is there's not a lot we can do if America wants to take these territories, so we should look for the positives.
But if you took the time to read all my posts, I cant be that predictable then.

I’d be careful wishing what you’re asking. The most serious threat a country can go through is the question of sovereignty. And the Greenland local government has rejected US desires. That should be more than enough.
New accounts that go straight to the political thread and spews pro-US imperialism makes me question who they actually are.

I actually wish our Dairy was even less like American dairy than it already is. European cheese, cream, butter, and any other milk based products (including milk) are 1000 x more flavorful and good tasting than ours. Also, "lactose intolerant" people often magically report no issues consuming dairy products from other domains... hmm.

The fact that you know this in and of itself and can quote these "studies" says something about you and it's not a good something... like unless you're an academic and this is your field, why are you even reading up on studies that compare IQ as between different ethnicities?

A lot of it comes down to lifestyle and culture. North Americans are more insular and the way many of our towns and cities are constructed, it changes the way we consume. For the most part, we like our big one-stop shops and we load up on provisions. We go to Costco or Superstore, spend hundreds of dollars and then don't want the hassle of having to go out again for a while because getting anywhere is a pain. It necessitates needing food that is processed and preserved so it lasts.
When I was in Europe, at least where I was staying, I found people would just buy what they needed when they needed it. If you want bread, you stop at the bakery, meat you stop at the butcher, etc., and it was part of the daily routine and social experience. Going to big mega stores to get everything at once was a more rare thing.

True. And where I lived for a while outside of Prague dark bread was more common than white. There were no big box stores around there, but of course you could go to that huge Maj in Prague.
And what’s funny is the “bagels from NY NJ taste different t than the ones in Florida” lol is true

As long as you want milk to last 7 months, and cheese to double as engine grease (in a pinch), youre golden.

Interesting, my late-onset lactose intolerance wants to test this theory in Paris this Easter, with my even more-so lactose intolerant cousin. I may have to re-evaluate the continent I live in, if I don't turn into Sideshow Mel in the bathroom at the end of it.

Just remember this is the face of saying people ingesting or not ingesting something suddenly made them feel better/worse and cured/created all of the ailments

Imagine if trump got asked real questions all the time (or even just heckled), one after another, about Epstein, about being a rapist, a pedophile, about any of his little triggers. I dont think it would take much for him to melt down live on camera.
