I'm guessing it was probably for cost reasons, or even availability. It would be easier to get a hunk of almost pure aluminum than it would be pure silver. Even copper would be better and easier to find than either silver or aluminum.
btw would the amperage be greater in the silver? Since an amp is a measurement of electrons moving through a certain length of space in a certain time.
They used it for centuries and I'm sure people in northern Canada have too since they are probably the same people.
How about letting the Inuit (not sure if they are the same in Greenland) have the island as an autonomous region? In a way it would be shared by Canada, Greenland and the indeginous people of the area.
So you can write anything into a contract and if the person signs it then that's binding?
Sounds fishy to me. Damn close to slavery. Your skills got you the job and now it keeps you from leaving the job. You can't leave because you can't work elsewhere in the same field or you'll violate your contract. You have to eat, live your life!
I don't buy the argument that "Why did you sign it then?" That's similar to "If you're not guilty then the security cameras on public streets shouldn't bother you."
No offence meant but I think people in France and the Northen Spain areas have some Neanderthal genes floating around in them.
Just purely going by looks, wern't Neanderthals supposed to have large noses, a stocky build? Their funerals appeared to be elaborate with lots of flowers used, cave paintings, just a generally arsty kind of being.
Basque peoples are supposed to be very different genetically from most other Europeans. Maybe there was some influence there. Basque peoples, if I rememeber my history, used to be known as peaceful and tended to collaborate rather than fight an enemy (e.g. Roman Empire, also the reason for the Basque language not being a Romance language?).
I remember 1995 and how nice it was, it was around then that advertsing started (or least when I noticed it). Spam picked up quite a bit then too.
The Internet was much more interesting then too, lots of people with actual content and something interesting. Try searching for something now and you get a thousands pages with the subject but they yammer on about nothing, they just want your attention. The worst won't let you leave their webpage by clicking the back button!
There was a segment on the Canadian Discovery Channel (DC) about religion, a lab was trying to find out how and why people sometimes feel a presence that isn't there.
The DC reporter volunteered to try an experiment and had a cap with electrodes/coils placed on her head, the coils on it produced strong magnetic fields, they were placed over specific parts of her brain. When they turned it on she convulsed, one eye shut and her neck muscles on one side contracted. She did not look happy!
Yes and people strap magnets to every part of their body thinking it affects their "magnetic blood" (which it isn't) in some way. Lord help you if you put a 300 foot high cell tower ten miles away from them...they're gonna die!!
Meanwhile they get an MRI which is 50,000 times stronger than the entire Earth's magnetic field.

Why did they use aluminum and not silver? Since silver has a lower resistance.

No, you saw it 24 years ago ;)

She could use a bit more silicone in certain areas.
switching the fluorescent backlight on and off at a rapid pace.
I'm no expert but aren't fluorescent lights already off 99% of the time? It's just the way it has to be because of its design and the gas in them.
The final beam up!
Stoopid. Why don't y'all just throw out the TV part? That's where the real puter is!
The US can keep the Internet, but Canada wants back insulin.
(btw Africa is not a country, it's a continent.)
No. He's trying to be polite, he's really saying the US is a bunch of arrogant pricks by seizing control of LaGrange points.
That's what we humans do, we learn new things :)
No, I know what you mean I did mean Neanderthals.
I've seen reports (either TV or the web) of Neanderthal cave art of some sort, it's not as common and I think it's a fairly recent discovery.

Just a theory! Take it with a grain of salt.
Have you also considered that if you practice spelling correctly all the time, then you're less likely to screw up when it really matters?
Bravo!
Am I the only one thinking this would be a great rock band name! ...or at least a great nickname.
Also, I don't think I would like to raise my dog from the dead. I wouldn't want a religion started after him.

Ahh the good old days.
You can watch Dr. Who on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Tuesdays nights.
Get out those rabbit ears you border huggers!
Their actions are so outragous all anyone talks about is that they look like idiots and ignore what they're concerned about.
Just because people object to someone's extreme way to protest something doesn't mean they condone it.
Yet another treaty and or promise broken.
Give the guy a break he just got back from the Time Travellers Convention! It was him six years ago ;)

I can see how dictators do it, it's so easy.
It's a sad day when people don't want to watch a show with Jolene Blalock in it. Who cares what it's about. Fools!
Even better would be
Windows, no longer a pain!
Here is a picture of the Confederation Bridgewhich links my home province Prince Edward Island with New Brunswick.
You can see each end but the middle is missing due to the way the pictures were put together. There's really a middle...honest.
