Since the Olympics were installed people are MORE fat than ever, not less. The Olympics have done nothing of what you claim.
We could blame people being fat on cars, radio, telephones, or really anything invented around the turn of the century. Picking one factor and attributing all of the effect to it is disingenuous.
there are others like Toronto who, even thirty years later, are still in debt.
As a Torontonian, I can assure you we have never hosted the Olympics. Perhaps you meant Montreal?
This isn't true, the CMCC represents only 179 artists.
Also, the CRIA was formed in 1963 as the Canadian Record Manufacturer's Association, and aren't a 'wing' of the RIAA. They are the RIAA's counterpart in Canada.
Google has a habit of gradually rolling things out, testing things small before going big. See invitation-only Gmail for an example.
Also, there are things like local tax laws to consider when doing bulk, remote contracting. I'm sure if they find the U.S. program successful, they will adapt it to Canadian laws and regulations and expand it to Canada, as well as other countries.
``It's cheaper to transport electricity east, and with our unique tidal resources, the potential is real,'' Zubakin said. Hydro OGK plans by 2020 to build the Tugurskaya and Pendzhinskaya tidal plants, each with capacity of as much as 10 gigawatts, in the Okhotsk Sea, close to Sakhalin Island.
So, this would be a means of transportation for the Russian tidal plant electricity, and you can't really ship tides. I haven't heard of any such large-scale tidal plants planned for North America, either.
Also, I believe the costs to build high-voltage lines or whatever is needed to get the electricity from the tunnel to a useful area would be dwarfed by the cost of the tunnel itself, which they've clearly already taken into account.
