The article says that PM Harper is "slamming" the fee, but as Canada runs a huge $10b+ travel deficit with the US, I would think he should cheer it.

Nice way you guys have of shooting yourself in the foot.

Apparently we'll all be short on dignity in the future.

If we go back to the concept of victor's spoils, we could start plundering our enemies to pay for our occupations.

"Trains are sexy."

But not the kinds of trains Stossel is showing on screen.

Amtrak gets "about as oiled as a diesel train."

Finally, a man from the future.

Apparently food pills aren't that nourishing, but at least we won't have to shave our heads and wear silver V jumpsuits.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Actually, a good question from this little lady in the audience.

"What happens on the seastead when government overreaches there?"

Seasteading on the seastead.

Ouch, a dig at Windows 95 from out of nowhere.
