| schestowitz[TR2] | Americans, being woefully ignorant of any sort of history, have no idea of the relationship between Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Canada. We have an instance of just about everything named after the Prince (and Duke.) Streets. Medical Labs. You name it. | Apr 14 03:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We have considerable experience dealing with the fin du empire of former greats such as the empire represented by the Duke. (Also, we are open to more than one language unlike maga.) | Apr 14 03:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | After the empire represented by the Duke ended, we were not averse to recognizing a new great power. But, our spider senses are tingling now. This is now the time for the empire we joined with 75 or 80 years ago to collapse. The truth is that y'all have been on a down slide for a couple of decades. And now you have started a war you have no chance of winning. (And, once again, we need to move on.) | Apr 14 03:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | There are many reasons you can't win. Possibly the biggest is that you think that living well beyond your means is the fault of Canada and the rest of the world. No one here made you make any deals. | Apr 14 03:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ff+1jrn9p8w5 The only thing that Trump wants from us (Canada) is our resources including our water. He and his administration clearly have nothing but contempt for our people, our political system or our culture. But he can't hide his geriatric tumescence for our rare earths, potash and energy. There was a time, not long ago, when our two countries were besties. That time is never coming back. | Apr 14 03:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Reading the piece, and then the thread of comments, what strikes me is the difference between ex parte examination of an application and inter partes examination of a keenly-fought opposition. Prior to grant, is an Exam Division supposed to know exactly the meaning that "gathered" has for experts in the field, and therefore to know that the definition in the description is not in conformity with the claim so that (for as | Apr 14 08:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | long as the definition remains) the claim is not clear (or not supported). The OD knows it now, and the TBA knows it now but, I suppose, only through the help of the opponent. Isn't it a bit much, to expect an ED to identify every instance in the docs intended for grant where clarity falls below 100% and isn't that adding disproportionately to cost and delay in examination prior to grant.

| schestowitz[TR2] | Appreciate the imperial nostalgia, Professor Northstrong. But while you’re reminiscing about street signs and failed monarchies, just a reminder: | Apr 14 18:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The ‘collapsing empire’ you speak of? It’s the one that provides your defense, currency stability, and Netflix library. | Apr 14 18:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your spider senses must’ve missed that Canada’s economy is tied at the hip to ours, and if America sneezes, Ottawa gets frostbite. | Apr 14 18:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And as for living beyond means—sure, we have debt. But at least our global influence isn’t limited to exporting maple syrup and apologizing for our passport strength. | Apr 14 18:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But hey, congrats on bilingual street signs and labs named after aristocrats. Just don’t forget: without that ‘declining empire,’ you’d still be wearing red uniforms and paying taxes to a queen whose face you still print on your money | Apr 14 18:08 |
