Not all older cars do. Especially pre 70s oil crisis cars. Pretty much anything made stateside pre 1975 (the year Canada switched to metric) was mostly sold in the States and Canada and there was minimal sharing of parts between production in the US and in other countries. There was really no reason to include KPH on them so they didn't, and even reproduction parts for the cars that managed to become classics tend not to include KPH unless it's on digital gauges.

I think you are reading way too much into small comments. Just because you are part of a marginalized group (even one currently under attack) doesn't mean human nature no longer applies to you. That's the whole point, here, full stop.

Nobody is saying you're wrong about the horrible direction the Republican party is leading their voters, just that tribalism (the innate human behaviour of forming an in-group) is a pervasive concept that could help explain why and how we act the way we act. That's it - tribalism is not even necessarily a bad thing, in general, and I'm certainly not defending the Republican party.

Also, it was a different Redditor that said you spend too much time online, not me. This latching on to small, inoffensive comments as though they are attacks directed at you does kind of make me think they may be right, though.

Idk where you are coming from with all of that based on what I said... But I am 100% a LGBTQ+ ally, 100% about science based treatments, and just as disgusted with Repugnicans and Christo-fascism, and bigotry in all its forms as you are. I sincerely hope you can get to a place where you can live in peace with access to everything you need to make yourself whole.
