Well, I can't speak for the Canadian coasts, but for the 'sunny' prairies, it has to do with snow cover for 25-40% of the year combined with the economics of abundantly available fossil fuels.
If I link to the Foxconn clip on the Canadian affiliate of the Daily Show, I do not believe Americans will be able to view it, so in this case, yes it does matter.
The Daily Show had a recent segment on a Foxconn superfactory in China.

The Genesis myth claims that light, the sun, plants, fish and birds, then animals were created, in that order. This is wrong on any timescale.
The book goes on to explain that suffering exists because a talking snake tricked a woman.
Genesis is simply not compatible with reality, literally or metaphorically. You are trying to square a circle, sorry.
The contents of Algebra II are more-or-less integrated throughout the 10/20/30 level highschool courses, at least in Alberta. I can't see things being radically different nation-wide.
I think you are confusing algebra with 100-level calculus.
It's possible your colleagues were baffled because your statement is a non sequitur. The fact that wolves were domesticated by man does not automatically imply that this act was beneficial to humans.
Perhaps a more general rule of "domestication of animals is helpful" provided an overall benefit in spite of the costly affair of feeding stray wolves specifically.
Perhaps wolves managed to hijack our innate tendency to like small furry animals http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2010/08/11/why-are-animals-cute/
Or perhaps, as you say, domestication of wolves provided a benefit in terms of guarding, or tracking large game animals, etc.
Probably all three, to an extent. If you still disagree, apply your same logic to cats and goldfish:)
having read the article, I feel inclined to sadly report that no one has found any shiny new apple 'pr4ocessor' technology at their local bar, which would have been much more exciting than a fat-fingered r key.
Note: I spotted that the texas Holdem tables had wide angle cameras just under the lip where you sit. Not low enough to get up-skirt shots, but where they can spot cards being handed. That's engineers for you
'Sun Microsystems' CTO, Greg Papadopoulos has come out with a Red Shirt Theory for IT which posits that an 'elite group of aliens are consuming inordinate amounts of ST infrastructure, well beyond most other aliens, and that their murders are growing exponentially. This trend, Papadopoulos maintains, has implications not just for ST's most insatiable consumers, but for the structure of the space industry itself. It's not just about how many warp cycles a company uses. Papadopoulos argues that red-shirt companies will enjoy exponential deaths in the coming years. Blue-shirt companies -- those whose heads aren't exploding -- will live at about the same rate as GDP, he says.

I do like online privacy. I like anonymizers too. I love encryption.
But then, I am actually a terrorist. Checkmate, freedom advocates.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Disney is to culture what getting hit by a car is to metabolism. Am I doing it right?
