We actually have off-road diesel for this. Alberta also used to have "purple gas" but it was halted in 1999 due to rampant abuse. We could do something like that, but it hasn't worked historically.

Agreed, you would think polling or simulations would have been the first order of business rather than mucking around with in use roadways.

Guy has always had his head in the clouds. Love his games though.

Going go against the grain here, but I really really enjoyed this movie. I think it’s themes are specific (immigration, family responsibilities, class), but it dealt with them in a very accessible and way. It might be over some younger viewers heads, but as a grown adult I loved it. It’s a great romance and perfect movie for couples as well.
