If you're trying to devise tide charts, for example, you always start with measured tide events. So if you're trying to devise charts of economic cycles, you have to take into account the largest movements to begin with. Taking the agreement of these dates as evidence of the efficacy of the system is like saying how wonderful it is that our ears are in exactly the right place to hold up our glasses!

Previously, I had fallen asleep while listening to NA, as I often do, and awakened, paused the show for a bit, returned, and seeing I only had ten minutes left, pressed the play icon. The conversation sunk lower and lower as manners of dealing with food that missed the mouth and what-not were discussed and dealing with pinkie fingers grossed me so I deleted all shows and links Mr. Dvorak and Mr. Curry might participate wherewithal. I still trusted TWiT and listened there a bit until I felt safe to type urls of dvorak in general. I cautiously am auditing the NA conversation like a student of life and will continue as long as Mr. Curry and Mr Dvorak persona remain not as juvenile as were.

If you don't know (and that is obvious from your comments in this episode), you really shouldn't speak as if you do know. There was effectively NOTHING correct about what you had to say. Good grief! FIRST, Canada does have a ratified Constitution... See the Pierre Trudeau years... Before that, we operated under the British North America Act. But that is years and years ago now. SECOND, the Governor General did NOT suspend parliament. The Prime Minister went to see the GG after HE DECIDED on this action. The visit to the GG is just mostly for historical tradition. It's essentially IDENTICAL to the UK, Adam... Where you happen to live! If the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom wants to end a session of parliament, he/she goes to see the Queen. This is where the tradition developed for what our Prime Minister did. Your ignorance of this matter was at about the level of the dolts on Jay Leno's show. Next time read a book about Canadian History first... or at least spend a few minutes over at the Wikipedia site. I guess you're originally American, so I shouldn't expect a whole lot from you. It would be nice if you corrected your comments in the next episode, but I won't hold my breath. Sigh!
