    I think it's a bit of a stretch to infer what a politician will do in future from what he has said in the past. I mean, c'mon.

    So, America should just follow Canada and do whatever it does?

    No, all the OP said is that America should do one thing that Canada has done.

    Where did that idea even come from?

    It comes from it having been shown to be a good idea.

    What do people say when Canada slavishly follows America? "Screw those foreigners, they have nothing to do with us, we will make our own decisions, and if those foreigners think we've made the wrong decision, then they can go screw themselves." What an interesting sentiment indeed.

    When you say "people," do you mean Canadian people? Or American people? Or other people? Because I don't think it makes sense any way.

    Perhaps the most obvious is flying tiny quadcopters (about 1 inch on each side) in your living room.

    Wow. no way, I never would have figured that one out!

    But they've missed a trick here, because, believe it or not, you can also fly larger drones in your living room! No, it's true! Two, three, even four inches on each side!

    But for years, hobby groups have formed relationships with schools and churches to have meetups in their gymnasiums.

    How many churches have gymnasiums?

    It's not limited to propeller-aircraft; ultralight rubberband power fixed-wing is a popular indoor option.

    Uh... how are those ultraight rubberband-powered fixed-wing powered, if not by propellers?
