The owner of a border town bed-and-breakfast named "Smuggler's Inn" is facing charges related to helping people slip into Canada.
Canadian officials have filed 21 charges against inn owner Robert Joseph Boule, including two counts of "organising illegal entry into Canada".
Who cares!? Canada is largely EMPTY. 3.92/km2 !
UK: 270.7/km2
Germany: 232/km2
Mexico: 61/km2

Sure a bunch of it is stupid cold, but a lot of it isn't.
Who cares? Welcome home I say.

@iankenway To be clear, I think a British exit of the EU is a stupid decision.

The Event Horizon Telescope, incidentally, is a fantastic example of a large scale decentralised non-governmental collaboration.
That black hole image was taken using 8 separately managed radio telescopes scattered across the planet. It was organised by scientists working in 60 different research institutes in 17 countries across 6 continents. With no motive beyond trying to learn something which they didn't know before.

The once despised Chinese internet has become a shining example for governments in the West that wants to tighten their grip on the web even more. Reducing the internet to a glorified TV in the hands of a few huge companies. A wet dream for every capitalist but a night mare for every freedom loving person.

This is why Brexit is such a tragedy and why it must be stopped by any means necessary.

I think Corbyn must withdraw the whip from Ian Lavery for the sake of the Labour Party, but more importantly for the sake of the UK

@iankenway Somehow we moderns have largely corrupted the word philosophy to mean something fuzzy to do with morals and maybe some navel gazing.
Really, it was the original science of everything. Our 'science' got branched off into Natural Philosophy and that's the only bit most peope care about today.

"When food waste is buried in a landfill, it is not able to decompose naturally with oxygen the way it does in nature. This anaerobic decomposition creates methane, and methane is 20-30 times more heat-trapping than carbon dioxide, which is the natural byproduct of decomposition."
