I work in Advertising/ Media so this is way beyond my expertise . Although ...there are many Turkeys in that industry.

I understand the naming confusion with the country , the North American bird and Guinea fowl . We do that all the time. Like there have NEVER been "Buffalo" in the US or Canada . I'm wondering , how are endemic North American turkeys related to Guinea fowl ? They're both galliforms , but Guinea Fowl originate in Africa. I always just " assumed " they must go back pre Pangea . But...I must be wrong , I " think " turkeys have only been around 20 million years or so . And Pangea split around 200 million years ago . So how are they the same order ? I didn't think taxonomy considered both convergent and divergent evolution . If anyone knows , ideally before Thanksgiving, that'd be great...so that at dinner I can talk turkey :)

Thanks

I just got one of these. I need to do 2 things from what I can tell. First, is it worth it? Do they heat up a tent, pop up trailer ? If so, I need a wick and that asbestos infused fabric matting that covers the dome. Can a standard coleman lantern work? And for that matting over the dome, is there an alternative option , like pink insulation or other? The mesh dome is hard to find and costs more than I paid for it . The shipping is more than it cost :) Thanks

Has anyone noticed that AM 640 is sounding very " American" lately ? I was a dedicated listener. Not at all anymore. They are basically becoming FOX radio and new hosts like Brad Smith sound like a Jessie Waters clone. . He digs up obscure politicians that will praise Trump ? Talk about misreading the room and not understanding Canadas' political climate . FOX tried to launch in Canada ( and UK ) and had to withdraw. As soon as Canadians realize they are trying to be sold something, there is fluff with "extreme" bias , they move on. My concern is if other media tries to model after US rage bait media because it turns the " uniformed" and angry into loyal listeners, and it is designed to sow division , this trend will throw the country under the bus in an attempt to get ratings,. This could become a very dangerous precedent here . Rage bait media is what got Trump elected . I noticed at the end of Oakleys stint he was being asked to prop up Trump . He sounded reluctant . I heard Pierson and Mulroney say Trump " should" win a Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously ? Wonder if that's why she left ? US Media influence is definitely spilling into Canada . There are random comments for valudation and likes saying things out of context such as " must be a Liberal person doing this "

Ive spent much time in.the US and have noticed their patriotism being manipulated into division by politicuans and then the medua that supports it , so in fairness I'm wondering if I'm hyper tuned into this or if this is a mainstream observation by other Canadians ?
