A body of water, such as a river, canal or lake, is navigable if it is deep, wide and calm enough for a water vessel (e.g. boats) to pass safely.

Literally that meme about North Korean TIME PRISON, where 30 seconds feels like 50 YEARS

Patrolling the Arctic and making sure Quebec doesn't get uppity, mostly

(Theoretically the Canadian army is supposed to fight a war in the event of American occupation, but it hasn't been equipped for that since the 1970s)

Iran's parliament calls on gov't to blacklist Canada's army

TEHRAN, June 23 (Xinhua) -- The Iranian parliament on Sunday put forward a motion requiring the country's administration to designate the Canadian army a "terrorist" entity, the official news agency IRNA reported.

This is in retaliation to Canada designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity.

There is literally nothing to be gained from nuclear holocaust. I think it is extremely unlikely that the US will launch nuclear first strikes in response to something so relatively trivial as losing global relevance. The USSR completely collapsed, and they didn't set off any nukes either.

A conventional war (this is not necessarily a total war) does not automatically mean nuclear first strikes either. America does not respond to losing wars with nuclear first strikes. This is proven by historical example. They have been taking Ls left and right without setting off any nukes. The only time they have used nuclear weapons in an act of war was in Japan, and that was when they were winning.

 

In this emergency episode, we discuss New York State Governor Kathy Hochul's 11th-hour decision to "indefinitely suspend" congestion pricing, the program that would have charged drivers to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. Her move, announced in a prerecorded video on Wednesday, June 5th, came mere weeks before congestion pricing was set to launch, jeopardizing what was set to be a major funding source for transit and a revolutionary plan to reduce traffic in a way never seen before in the United States.

Why did Hochul do this? Is it bad politics or atrociously bad politics? What does this mean for the future of the New York City subway system, commuter rail, accessibility, the environment, the economy and even democracy itself?

More importantly, we discuss what you can do if you live or work in the New York metropolitan area and want to see Hochul's flip flop reversed. We also discuss what effect this could have on cities across the U.S. that might be considering a congestion pricing program of their own.
