lots of restrictions on what you can get and do and the weathers mostly crap.
Add in to that crappy jobs that are hard to get and land/property prices only the already wealthy can consider and you have a very dissatisfied population imho.
although we do have good human rights and nobody is really that poor so it swings and roundabouts!

Hanging in a quiet desperation?

No, we got rid of hanging in the 1960s...
Some people would like to bring it back, of course.
I wouldn't, except for, say, once a year, and hang one politician "pour encourager les autres".
(Could possibly add one mainstream doctor to that... ).

I've not researched this, but my understanding of manuka honey is that it contains small amounts of some antibacterial chemicals (and maybe antifungal), that may be helpful in some situations - possibly against heliobactor pylori if you eat it, and maybe for external wound healing. Don't know if would do anything to candida or not. Apart from this kind of specific use, I have no reason to believe it is nutritionally superior to other honeys, unless you happen to like it better. I think there are certified brands that guarantee a certain level of the active constituent. Other manuka honeys may have had the bees browsing manuka along with other flowers, and be may be less potent. Manuka is is a tea tree relative.
Personally, I have some in my cupboard and eat it occasionally, but I get tired of it if I eat it all the time, so I have other honey too.
Canada is not a eutopian USA. Our politicians are just as ****88 and the people aren't any nicer. The weather is and economy are better in USA. I think this is just as much of Canada being overrated as USA being underated (by non americans anyway). But maybe my romanization of other countries distorts my view of Canada. I've only been employed here.
US. Basically 1984, Chelsea Clinton is condemning hate speech like that's even a crime, i.e. Thoughtcrime, we focus on stuff like microaggression and who can go in whose bathroom. so, preschool.
I'm with you here Tara. Manuka tastes good, has a distinct flavor or essence to it, but that's where its superiority ends for me. As long as the honey is real, it is good enough for me. Even better, I rather have local honey. If I can make my own honey in my own backyard, that to me is the best honey. Because the bees make honey from nectar, and the nectar comes from the same flowers where pollen comes from, and because many allergies are associated with pollens, the honey that helps counter these allergies is the honey that came from nectar that is common with the pollen. Manuka honey, since it comes from a far away place, is not as helpful as honey that is local to me.I've not researched this, but my understanding of manuka honey is that it contains small amounts of some antibacterial chemicals (and maybe antifungal), that may be helpful in some situations - possibly against heliobactor pylori if you eat it, and maybe for external wound healing.
