Well, In the case of downtown Vancouver the company offers television and internet (fibre optic) to the buildings they have wired. New buildings in the downtown core are often have fibre put in at construction. This is a small company for sure, in comparison to Shaw cable and Telus (our "local" telco) which are huge monopolies. Like I said I am quite happy with my situation but realize I am lucky to have bought a home in a building serviced by this company. Hopefully, this trend of connecting up new condtruction will continue.
I'm not bragging so please don't take it that way, but my apartment in downtown Vancouver has fibre andI am quite happy with it. Costs me five dollars less a month than the cable connection that my sister has.
No. They are a new species of fish. Similar to the original species of stickleback but unable to breed produce viable offspring with the original species. A "fish" is not a species. A salmon and a tuna are both fish. They are not the same species, they are two distinct species. To confuse you further, and you seem to be very confused, two distinct species can reproduce in certain circumstances but their offspring are sterile. Horse + donkey = mule. I am leaving out a lot of detail due to space and time and your attitude.
"So we have witnessed one species become another? Where was I? Rather, we have witnessed dogs get big, small, and get new colors, shorter tails, bigger eyes, But over thousands and thousands of years, they're still dogs."
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry you are using a horrible example to make your point. The changes you refer to in digs, and I'll assume you mean domestic dogs, are a result of human intervention (breeding) to produce traits that we as humans find desireable either for aesthetic reasons or to mold a particular "breed" of dog to a task we wish it to perform. We have examples of true speciation that has occurred without human intervention or experimentation. A new species of three spine stickleback "evolved" on Vancouver Island due to natural geographic isolation from the greater population. The isolated fish population is no longer able to reproduce with the original population when they are reintroduced. This is not a behavioural problem either, they are now two distinct species.
