Maybe if the American government paid its employees better they wouldn't keep being outbid by the Chinese.

Do Canadians use the spelling "aluminum"? Or "aluminium"?

Well the French speaking ones obviously use the later. :twisted:

(And with that one eyed Harold Godwinson rolls in his grave.)

In England it's "ium"- aluminium- like helium, lithium, beryllium, calcium, magnesium, plutonium...

Maybe Canada can bypass the tariffs by exporting aluminium instead of aluminum.

When I was in school there were still textbooks that said "aluminium", but those were outdated even then. I think "aluminum" is pretty strongly dominant and has been for decades.

Is it just that element that gets misspelled?

Yeah, the only other example I can think of is aeroplane. Aeroplane is not an element.

I really hope that Trump finally brings an end to the Canadian milk mafia.

lol, saputo?

No, all the dairy farmers. I have complained for years about the 300% tariff on cheese to Canada, and Trump finally heard my cries. Hopefully trade with the US is a big enough issue that it destroys that tariff worldwide.

complained to whom, DY?

Let's face it- American Cheese should be banned outright:

Dutch cheese is superior to Canadian or American cheese.

I hope that's cheese cloth under those wheels.
