Canada's always had a weird car scene. On the one hand it would be kinda neat to have vehicles distinct to the country, but it also doesn't really make sense to do so given how easy it's always been to get American cars.
Also I've never seen or heard of that thing in my life.

they don't make em like that anymore do they?

In the 60s Canada's laws meant that it was advantageous for some manufacturers to make cars there for the Canadian market. Ford had the Meteor and GM built Acadians additionally Ford built Mercury trucks in Canada. They're basically American cars built on Canadian assembly lines for the Canadian market. All of the Big 3 had factories in Canada anyway.

Ye, we still do a fair bit of assembly out in Manitoba and Ontario iirc. Just wish we could start building our own vehicles with our own badges on them instead of putting together stuff for Toyota or GM.

I think you're underestimating the amount of actual automobile manufacturing you do. Regardless, of if it has badge from a Canadian company on it. You do more than just assemble cars

Oh? Pls inform me. I'm not super clued in to the auto industry.

Ford built millions of engines in the Essex and Windsor engine plants. Chrysler had an engine plant in Windsor as well. There is more that I'm leaving out

That was obvious when you said you've never heard of the Bricklin. I didn't realise their were Canadians unfamiliar with the legend of Canada's car

>cars exceed petro
How was I not aware of this

Sports cars don't really do anything for me so it's not the kind of info I actively seek out. I'm surprised I've never heard it mentioned in conversation if it's that well known though.

also, apparently making it rain is a fucking african tradition lmao
>Spraying Money
>Certain people attend ceremonies in Nigeria just to partake in this interesting practice. At grandly-organised weddings, burials, child naming or dedications, and birthdays, people—regardless of financial status—come forward while dancing to rain money on those on the dance floor. Of course, only crisp notes are encouraged. Reasons for the act (or art) of spraying money include portraying the social status of those being celebrated, showing how much they are appreciated, and a basic show of flamboyance and affluence. Spraying money is such a symbolic feature in Nigerian ceremonies that an Ijaw bride won’t smile until she’s been sprayed.

>sports cars

That's the tragic and funny part. It was meant to be a sporty car but the SV-1 stood for Safety Vehicle.
Cons
>it only came in bright colours to increase visibility and therefore safety
>it had an integrated roll cage and shock absorbing bumpers that were so heavy they negated much of the power the engine actually had
>it had no cigarette lighter or ashtray because smoking and driving is dangerous (this was shocking at the time)
>the government poured millions into it and lost it all
>they made it in New Brunswick so obviously people at the factory rarely showed up for work and were drunk when they did
>price doubled every year, quality did not (again, new brunswick)
>no spare tire
>doors had to be opened and closed at the same time or the pump would burn out
>used as police vehicles in 1974 Phoenix, AZ the cops hated them

Pros
>first car with push button gull wing doors

Nothing wrong with this.

yes that is correct, more meat is better
throw on some orange liquid cheese and you've got yourself a fucking delicacy

You guys are both wrong. Adding some tangy and crunchy cole slaw is objectively better.

if you really think about it, liquid cheese is basically just milk

>more meat is better
this fag likes shoving as much meat in his mouth as he can fit

>another rerun of the autistic virginian talks to himself episode

wrong
chili and cheese is a more savory and decadent topping
only thicc jojun sausage

Always found coleslaw kinda gross tbqh. Also tangy and bread don't go together.

if you really think about it, fkjalkjlkjfdsjdslkjfalkjdsalkjfdsa

slaw is a better complement to the flavor of the dog it gives it a little bit of bark. chili overpowers the dog

Krak des Chevaliers also Crac des Chevaliers, Ḥoṣn al-Akrād (حصن الأكراد, literally "Castle of the Kurds"), formerly Crac de l'Ospital is a Crusader castle in Syria and one of the most important preserved medieval castles in the world. The site was first inhabited in the 11th century by a settlement of Kurdish troops garrisoned there by the Mirdasids. As a result, it was known as Hisn al-Akrad, meaning the "Castle of the Kurds". In 1142 it was given by Raymond II, Count of Tripoli, to the Knights Hospitaller. It remained in their possession until it fell in 1271. It became known as Crac de l'Ospital; the name Krak des Chevaliers was coined in the 19th century.

The Hospitallers began rebuilding the castle in the 1140s and were finished by 1170 when an earthquake damaged the castle. The order controlled a number of castles along the border of the County of Tripoli, a state founded after the First Crusade. Krak des Chevaliers was among the most important, and acted as a center of administration as well as a military base. After a second phase of building was undertaken in the 13th century, Krak des Chevaliers became a concentric castle. This phase created the outer wall and gave the castle its current appearance. The first half of the century has been described as Krak des Chevaliers' "golden age". At its peak, Krak des Chevaliers housed a garrison of around 2,000. Such a large garrison allowed the Hospitallers to exact tribute from a wide area. From the 1250s the fortunes of the Knights Hospitaller took a turn for the worse and in 1271 Mamluk Sultan Baibars captured Krak des Chevaliers after a siege lasting 36 days, supposedly by way of a forged letter purportedly from the Hospitallers' Grand Master that caused the Knights to surrender.

>eating things that bark
China tier

I respect your opinion but I maintain that cole slaw is a better hotdog topping.

You gotta toast the bun, that makes it work. I'll be honest, cole slaw with (((sugar))) and also cole slaw with cabbage that has been chopped extremely finely are both shit-tier cole slaws.

Based Jawjan. I bet you know the hot dog place I'm talking about.

speaking of china.. read this in the news and thought it was an interesting thing..

you add enough to complement, adding too much is too messy, there should be just enough chili to not spill over when eating the hot dog

There are many fine Georgian Hot Dog Establishments. Since you're an out of stater I'm assuming your talking about the Varsity. But for me its Brandi's World Famous Hot Dog

Come to my state and get crossed up lil bitch

Hell no, I'm talking about Charlie Joseph's in LaGrange. I love the Varsity though, top tier restaurant.

>taking chinese money
if a country is stupid enough to take out predatory loans from the chinese government then they deserve to be taken advantage of
zambia literally had to fork over a percentage of their mining industry to the chinese after they defaulted on their loan from china who then took them to the international courts
gonna light a palm tree on FIRE and eat a chili cheese dog beneath it

yup, they're headquartered in Vienna and they have actual Hospitaller ambulances that sometimes respond to calls. It's pretty neat. The Teutonic Knights are there too, I think, although I don't think they actually do anything besides provide an outlet for old money European families to circlejerk and give each other awards.

yeah they're a big charity club now i think, most money goes towards medical stuff tho

but alberta isn't seething??

kentucky?

He isn't a retard

do you have a single fact to back that up

see

For Mexico, I think that more than actually wanting China's money they know that the US is super wary of China right now. Its blackmail: "give us money and we won't let China have the perfect excuse to be at your border."

see

My opinions are fact

maybe, i wouldn't be surprised if the chinese did start wedging themselves into mexico, they already have in canada

The Chinese came to Canada and Auatralia because China took Hong Kong back from Britain and many of the British-Chinese there didn't want to be Chinese so they came to other British Commonwealth countries

ded thred

>wouldn't be surprised if the chinese did start wedging themselves into mexico
I know some Mexican duel citizens that are friends of friends. couple months back, I asked them about Chinese in Mexico. Like, were they there (in a non tourist capacity)? they have told me that they were there and it was a whole lot of them down there. not sure what they're doing there but they are there.

and now other chinese citizens are moving there, investing and buying property, and setting up chinese language schools so they don't have to assimilate

chinese are basically moving in everywhere the west is pulling out
in some cases (like africa) they're just directly picking up where westerners left off

>investing and buying property, and setting up chinese language schools so they don't have to assimilate
I hope the west turns the corner on this stuff soon. Its not fair to natural citizens.
>chinese are basically moving in everywhere the west is pulling out
I agree, but does that apply to Mexico? We have always been in contact with them. They have been blackmailing us for years over this threat or that drug lord and this is just another one for the pile; albeit, maybe one that has multiple safety threats attached to it- if you consider China and immigration threats. Certainly, the Pentagon might. I'm very interested to see how this will affect our relationship with them.

The west is more concerned with maintaining profit margins than being fair to its own citizenry

I'm not disagreeing, It will have to eat into someone's margins before its ever addressed. How I want the government to behave in regards to liberty is just piss in the wind where their concerns lie, but still. Immigration is a hot enough topic now that I could reasonably see lobbies push for some teny-tiny reforms on something.. anything.

Really? Picking on a Bricklin? Canadian version of a Corvette? Not even close to the worst cars out there.

But I digress.

Jesus, I would love to make one of those into an apocalypse car.
