It's not Utopia: we have cold weather, high taxes and extremely high
alcohol taxes. I don't love taxes but I will acknowledge though that
governments need high taxes to deliver a high level of services.

 ML> Perhaps your provider plays fair?

 JW> It has too!

 ML> I could see corporate lawyers throwing massive simian

Or perhaps the CRTC lawyers are equally mean and nasty too and up to
the task. On the internet side, they just worked jointly with the
RCMP to shut down some particularly nasty spammers who were using
RAT malware. The only spam I get these days is of foreign origin
(including American) not Canadian.

 ML> If you like KFC, you'll love Popeye's.

I do! I haven't been to one in ages but it has recently expanded
into Canada and there are now outlets in Edmonton. Nandos too. I'll
probably hit both of them the next time I'm there. That won't be for
a while thing as our next trip to Alberta is only going to be as far
as Roslind's "hometown"  which is in fact just a tiny unincorporated
community between High Level, Fort Vermilion and Le Crete. It's
called Rocky Lane; you can Google Map and Wikipedi it if you care
to. It has a rural community hall and a regional school with a fleet
of buses, but no stores or services. They are having a community
reunion at that hall on Aug 3. Lexi and Charlee will be going with
us.

They got a ton of cash for the deal and it might give their premium
brands more respectability. That's their hope anyway. (I note that
Constellation Brands and Gallo have not sold off or shut down their
worst brands yet though.)

Zelnik is a traditional pastry from the Balkans composed of thin
layers of phyllo pastry filled with combinations of sirene, eggs,
sorrel, browned meat, leeks and rice; in winter, the filling may
also include brined cabbage and spinach, from which the dish derives
its name: zelje (Macedonian) means spinach. Zelnik is served with
yoghurt and its best eaten warm.

Zelnik is similar to a dish popular in Turkey and Central Asia,
called yesil borek (green patty) Borek. Unlike zelnik, cabbage Borek
is made for holidays and festivals and is served with kefir. The
crust and the layers of Borek are thicker and other spices are used.
Mostly Zelnik is made with leek and sirene (white cheese).
