Watching a YT on global pizza types and as a Canadian I would like to petition the UN for an apology over all the complaints we've got over Hawaiian pizza when the Brazilians are putting boiled eggs on their pizzas.

I'm not sure why Aus would have changed - the QC cars were basically forced into being by de Gaulle. I do know that Australian Fords fell under the Ford Canada umbrella. Apparently one of the early Australian factories was such a straight copy of a Canadian one, it had a snow-shedding roof.

Yes, and they are *incredibly* rare as it cost more to build them in QC than just import them from France.

Yeah, and I'm also interested in the Moroccan ones.

And that's not even factoring in the unstoppable ace card that is the Toyota Land Cruiser with some kind of improbable heavy weapon hastily welded to it.

Generally speaking, putting the name of your car on a vanity plate makes you look like what the Brits call a Bellend, but I am making an exception for the just spotted JUKE BX on a Nissan.

I think what everyone forgets about the success of the Mongols is that they were experts at running away while riddling you with arrows, then ambushing extended lines. Doesn't look very honorable onscreen.
