Reply to comment by SciK3 in [OC] North American cities by number of major sports championships (Updated December 2022) by twintig5
Might have responded to wrong comment. I know Canadians prefer it, almost to NFL being an after thought. My comment was on the players in the league. CFL is people cut or retired out of NFL looking for a second chance at a playing career.
Comparing it to minor league AAA baseball to MLB or AHL to NHL is as close as I can compare, but even that's likely selling the CFL a bit short.
If we're talking the premier division in US/Canada, the NFL clearly has a higher quality for talent and product. And that's the argument I'm getting from the OP.

While it's a major sport, the players in the CFL are NFL washouts or prospects mostly. It'd be like comparing MLB with AAA baseball. One is the top league. Doesn't make the other any less important. It's just not the top league.

Quibble, but your title here includes North America, but Liga MX would cover Mexico. Would get confusing as they play two phases to their year with separate champions for the last 40-50 years.
Then again the blog mixes US/Canada vs North America. Consistency would be helpful.

Also counts Dodgers in 1955, Giants in 1905, 1921, 1933 and 1954.
Edit: and 2 mets championships.
Still impressive though. Even if a lot were a long time ago.

Yeah, Liga MX would likely be top tier for North America. Would be equivalent to Canada with NHL for popularity.

A good number of LA teams had championships in other cities prior to moves, or were expansions after 1950. Only the Rams existed prior to 1950. Then you have several years without an NFL team.
A lot of the east coast and Midwest teams date back to early 1900s. Some LA team championships belong to other cities. Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955, Cleveland Rams in 1945, St Louis Rams in 2000.

Found a podcast on Puritans outlawing it in England/Wales/Scotland in the 1600s. Was outlawed in Scotland over 60 years, which is partially why new years remains a bigger holiday up north.

Reply to comment by Cyclist007 in Canadian Pacific’s hydrogen-powered locomotive makes first revenue run - Trains by bitfriend6
All of this is accurate. The province is keeping a transition from oil and gas to electric in mind. The early plan is use grey or blue hydrogen, so by products of natural gas production. It doesn't reduce green house gasses beyond encouraging less flaring.
The plan is have it in place as they start more renewable gas collection (harvesting from garbage/animal waste) which is also heavily subsidized from both a natural gas and agriculture standpoint.
All of this with hope that green hydrogen becomes cheaper in the next 20 years.

Reply to comment by NekuraHitokage in Move over, diesel: Ohio gets ‘first of its kind’ renewable gas station by redingerforcongress
Difference is this gas is already being released to the atmosphere where typical oil and gas is extracted from deep underground and added to the atmosphere. It's more like recycling rather than adding.
Not perfect, but a step in a better direction.
