Interesting, I know that slavery was not as popular in the North in colonial America and especially in the 17th century they often could become free but as I understand they couldn't do simple things like testify against a white person and after the Bill or Rights they couldn't invoke Habeas Corpus (sp?) as would have been guaranteed by the Constitution if they were persons. Of course even today I see a lot of Americans interpreting person to mean American citizen which of course would make me, a non-American not have any rights and even my son, who is guaranteed by treaty all rights of a US citizen besides voting would be considered non-human by many Americans as he isn't a citizen nor has any American citizens in his ancestry.
Black people were not considered people then, just animals and at the time animals had no rights. Europeans were considered persons so would have had those rights, at least some Europeans.
The party doesn't matter, if he came from a red state then he would be a Conservative Republican doing exactly the same thing. These assholes choose their party based on odds of getting elected, not personal believes. Sadly politics attracts assholes like Dodd and they're usually unscrupulous enough to get elected.
I've heard it'll get struck down as it passes off IP as property and property is the domain of the provinces. So in other words, if IP is actually property, then the federal government does not have jurisdiction.
There are also American Indians, who are Canadian citizens and have never been to the USA but have most of the rights of citizens of the USA, to further muddy things up.
Read my post again, Anybody who is willing to compromise. The Conservatives have not been willing to compromise or even be honest about certain things like how much the F35 fighters cost and whether they're even useful for arctic conditions. How much building a bunch of prisons are going to cost to throw people like me in jail as I don't want to support drug gangs and to grow a bit of pot from seed means planting more then 6 plants outside where there is high mortality and 50% males. Allowing DRM to be broken for personal use so I can play my legally bought DVDs on my computer and so on. A party that is only representing slightly more then 1/3rd of voters shouldn't be allowed to run roughshod over the rest.
Lobby exist to destroy those powerful "groups" unfortunately. Besides, if you look at the parties that already exist right now, who can lead Canada better than Harper ?That is a good question.
Anybody who is willing to compromise as long as it is a minority government.
It sounds like your Harper is little different than our Dubya was. Well, maybe not as bad, nobody has attacked Canada and Harper hasn't invaded a foreign country because of bad intel
Harper is worse then Bush, not only has he roughly the same philosophy, but he is very smart and patient. He managed to show false colours for years when he had a minority and every time he didn't get his way, managed to turn it around that the opposition was the bad guy. Even when he prorogued parliament to avoid losing a confidence vote with the opposition parties promising to form a coalition government, he turned it around to where they were undemocratic because they'd be representing the split majority. The problem with our form of government is that the parties vote as a block, so a majority of 51% translates as a dictatorship for up to five years. Harper also really wanted to join in the Iraqi invasion and the only reason he didn't was because he knew there'd be an election over it which he would lose. He was as happy as shit to lead the bombing of Libya, had to be pushed to get out of Afghanistan. Has been found in contempt of Parliament (only one ever) for lying about how much the no-bid purchase of the F35 was going to cost. And the F35 is useless for protecting Canada's North, having only one engine amongst other things.
Our present government is very pro (big) business and probably at heart believe that if you're smart enough to buy some IP, then you deserve the full protection of the State to protect your property. Of course the fact that almost every media outlet (owned by 2 or 3 companies now) was pushing the current government full time during the last election is much of the reason they were voted in and I'd guess they remind the government of this regularly. Our campaign reforms haven't seemed to have worked and the first thing this government did was remove the public half of those reforms.
In the last Canadian election, the third party increased their number of seats by close to an order of magnitude compared to their previous best showing, to become the official opposition. Sadly the first thing they did was move towards the centre. Policies like legalizing marijuana, dropped, along with much else of their platform that I've always liked. It's sad that, especially in first past the post systems, that no matter who the parties are, they end up the same.
Yes that is how it was in Canada, now we've got a new copyright law and they're adding this on top of the previous payments. This one is supposed to go to the recording artists, which translates as the record companies whereas the previous payment went to the composers, which of course translated as the record companies. Anyways, the government assures us that this is a good copyright law as it is now definitely legal to time shift, backup, play media on different devices including transcoding as long as we don't break DRM. They did swear that they'd never enforce that part of the law if used non-commercially but they sure refused to write it down. Bastards
You should read up on the Pinkerton Detective Agency, at one time bigger then the US army and heavily used by corporations to violently coerce people. And they were only one of a multitude of private police forces dispensing violence to support corporate tyranny. It's just cheaper for the corporations to use State funded violence.
Eco-anarchists have been terrorists for decades. Spiking trees, ever seen what a chainsaw chain can do when it hits one? People can be and have been killed by them.
Having hit various chunks of metal in trees including a piece of 1/2 in steel pipe that had been hammered into a tree 30 ft up years before, presumably to hang a clothes line from, I'm well aware that hitting something means having to do a bunch of filing to get the chain sharp again. A hassle but with so much wood coming from populated areas you have to expect nails, wire, bullets (harmless but common) and even chunks of pipe in timber. It's one of the reasons that a chainsaw operator should be trained how to hold a saw, if it kicks, you don't want to lose control. Shits about the saw hitting something and the kid getting hurt but the logging industry is a dangerous industry. People get killed, sometimes in weird ways where there is no blame and often through complacency. When I first started working in the bush, WCB had all kinds of real examples of injuries that happened, often through stupidity. Things like being rushed and not shielding the saws in the mill and sending some poor kid under a machine without proper shields or when the machine was running. Sadly by 2000 the government was in cutback mode and things like safety training and inspections were too expensive so people get injured and die but at least someone makes a profit and the government can balance its budget while cutting taxes.
These guys have been brought up in a closed community so even getting kicked out at 18 must be traumatic, especially getting kicked out for something as normal as interest in girls.
Death doesn't have to be part of ethnic cleaning, example is Canada where ethnic cleaning consisted of destroying the native ethnicity by doing things like removing their children and if lucky like my wife, being raised as a different ethnicity or if unlucky, being heavily sexually assaulted in the name of religion after being removed from their family and raised in an institutionalized setting where their ethnicity was totally repressed.
From what I understand, the problem with DU is not radiation but heavy metal poisoning. The way the shells disintegrate leaves lots of Uranium in the environment in an easily ingested from.
Could be the heaters are actually designed for slightly lower voltage then western mains supply. I don't know what power Russia uses, 110 vs 120 or 220 vs 240? The tubes I remember were usually GE or RCA IIRC. Also possible that the amplifiers you're building don't stress out the other parts of the tube as much. In a TV there are some pretty high voltages.
It used to be common that when your TV or radio died, all the heaters still worked and you'd have to remove all the tubes and go to the drug store and test them all. Some radios also had the heater circuits in series so if one heater did burn out, none would light.
Considering a "portable" radio commonly used a 90 volt "B" battery and a high amperage "A" battery (usually lead acid, rechargeable) they are low power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_battery

Even leaving our solar system will only help so far. Seems the speed of light sets a hard limit on growth.
The military won't ever be ordered to attack civilians. They'll be ordered to attack terrorists, communists, pedophiles, or some other evil group.
Cigarettes are often banned in the bush during extreme fire conditions. At that at times everything is banned, you're just not allowed into the bush.
One of the Salyut missions had a hatch seal failure on re-entry killing all 3 cosmonauts.
