I thought, and would certainly prefer, that politics were banned from this forum. Kindly keep your opinions to yourselves.

One of your mint's coins, in a collection in Germany, is stolen, and found to be worth about $4.5 million USD:

Oh, gosh. I'd have a meltdown. I can't live without my Skippy.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Something to do with too much competition and the costs of distributing within Canada.

We buy a chain brand, President's Choice, all natural. If it takes too long to use it up, the oil separates and it's like peanut concrete at the bottom...

⇧ In NYC, that car would have been very, very quickly towed, impounded and the owner would only get it back after paying both for the tow and a fine for having parked there (and that would add up to several hundred dollars). But the street would have been fully paved.

Precisely why the city of Montreal's public works dept. is being vilified. It would have taken ten minutes to haul that thing away.

Turns out, the driver just drove off.
