Though bread may be virtually sterile when it comes out of the oven, it doesn't stay that way. While cooling it attracts airborne organisms like mould spores and bacteria. It will be handled by bakery workers who could have unreported illnesses like hepatitis. It may rest on surfaces in the...

Yes, depends on who you read. In British media: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-15636527/Charles-welcomes-Nations-leaders-Buckingham-Palace.html Seven sentences about the First Nations Chiefs who came to see the King and hoped to give him a pair of moccasins and then seventeen...

When I think back to service provided vittles there were many meals that I would classify as good, maybe some as exceptional; probably just as many that were mediocre and some that were inedible. However, there are few occasions that I specifically recall that I use as benchmarks for specific...

Of the over 800 peers (only 92 of which were hereditary) who could put their upholstered behinds on seats in the Lords chamber, what did they do to deserve that honour? https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/house-of-lords-backgrounds-in-public-life/ And who were some the latest...

They've been filling the place with "buddies" since before the Life Peerages Act (1958) when politicians and fellow travelers were made barons and their inbred first born sons inherited the title and seat. The only difference is that now inbred offspring don't get a vote.

Though there may be no election in the near future, Elections Canada is gearing up their organization to be ready as per their mandate. For those electoral districts that currently have vacant Returning Officer positions, they have been contacting former election workers by email and phone (I...

The "greatest" advancement in bakery craft on this side of the Atlantic Ocean occurred on 7 July 1928. It had nothing to do with the taste, texture or nutritional benefit of bread. In Europe though, you can still find a baker in just about every neighbourhood. I would have to agree with the...

There are republic models other than the United States "presidential republic". Our history would be more conducive to a "parliamentary republic" with an elected (either directly or indirectly) ceremonial head of state. Examples would be Ireland (directly elected) or Germany, Israel, India...

With The Bread Guy's bump of this topic I noticed your response to the post I made near five years ago. I should have been clearer back then who I thought should have been one of the prime targets of a Canadian foreign political intelligence program. When I suggested that the USA would...

Actually, from a legal standpoint it is a "British" example. That's whose tune Nfld danced to in 1948.

Alignment with the USA was also in the mix in Nfld after the war, though that option did not get on the referendum. Nfld had closer ties with the States than Canada back then. Even before the establishment of American bases during the war along with the many marriages of local gals to GIs, from...

Years ago, a friend (and fellow Newfoundlander) related a story about when he was a Med A with the Van Doos in Germany. They were in France on the French Commando Course and one evening while they were off the camp and in town at a restaurant the waitress had to keep asking the Van Doos to...

As there may be few, if any, Newfoundlanders still around who were of voting age when the 1948 referendums (yes, there were two referendums, June 3 and July 22 - Confederation didn't win in the first one) that addressed the question of Nfld's political future, the acrimony among the supporters...

That accounts for the other two infantry regiments . . .

The exact same measures as in the USA exist in Canada, the courts. If you think that they are doing something illegal, you sue them and let the judges determine the outcome. And of course, there is the other remedy - elections.

Considering the subject, shouldn't that be "fresh from the cow's teat"?

Paula White-Cain That clip is from 2020, the day after Trump lost the election. That's her "praying" for his victory. Guess it wasn't answered.
