    Is it normal for the beard to go before the rest? Is he actually revealing that he dyes his hair? :P

    In my experience this is indeed normal. Or maybe it's easier to see in the beard because the longer hair on top grew in before the grey, so it hides it better.. whereas beards are shorter and get trimmed more often, so the grey stuff is front and centre?

    My beard is very salt and pepper. My hair, what is left of it, is still brown. I guess it figures falling out AND going grey would be too much.

    Trudeau has always had a fondness for facial hair and is good at it too.

    Also yeah, real news sources were asking the question what does it mean. It means dude did not shave for a few days on vacay.

    I eagerly await salt-and-pepper beardedness. I was curious because I do have a few early greys, but they're all around the sides.

    Anyway, as great as hair is and as much as that guy can wear a bit of scruff, I'm still not particularly fond of him. Really wish he'd get around to making some kind of communications about the situation with Iran ...

    Obviously it's a sign of a new level of cooperation with the NDP, signaling that he and Singh are going to be salt and pepper beard buds.
    At press time, we have yet to hear word of whether or not Blanchet has opted for a proper salt to pepper ratio to join this coalition.

    fuck
    A Ukrainian International Airlines plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran on Wednesday, bursting into flames and killing all 176 people on board, including 63 Canadians.

    The passenger jet, Flight PS752, crashed on Wednesday just minutes after taking off from Tehran's main airport, turning farmland into fields of flaming debris.

    Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Vadym Prystaiko said 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians and 11 Ukrainians were on board — the Ukrainian nationals included two passengers and the nine crew. There were also 10 Swedish, four Afghan, three German and three British nationals, he said.

    Transport Minister Marc Garneau said Canada was offering technical assistance to the impending investigation.

    What? Oh hell no he should be doing nothing of the sort. This is not our fucking problem and we should be staying as far the fuck away from it as possible. And certainly not jumping first on making a statement before the americans do.

    I don't know if it's normal, but its whats happened to me. I have brown hair, but my beard had a bunch of reddish hairs in it, which have all gone grey. They're also somehow stiffer and more itchy since losing their colour. Aging is great! :rotate:

    My beard has grey hairs but my head does not... because when my hair reaches that stage they commit suicide.

    A beard for me apparently isn't an option for at least another few years; instead of doing the salt-and-pepper thing the salt portion is wildly asymmetrical. Looking like I was hit on one side of my chin by a piece of precisely-thrown chalk probably isn't ideal.

    I'm in my 30's and my chin area already have many prominent flecks of white and light. Not enough to say it's salt and pepper, but enough to notice it's a thing that's happening.

    Yes but also possibly yes, in the sense that facial hair is often not as consistently colored as scalp hair. I grew up kinda ashy blonde and now I'm kinda light brown, but my beard has always been mostly dark brown, with some black and even red, and also I've got a white-blonde patch on my chin since I was like fifteen (so if it's turning gray or white prematurely I can't tell).

    But he could also just be dying it.

    I'm only 36, I feel way too young for grey hairs! Maybe I'll start getting grey hairs when my son reaches teenagehood.

    My facial hair is reddish while my hair is dark blonde (used to be very light blonde when I was a kid). Blame my 1/16th irish genes :D

    My hair is dark brown, but my facial hair used to be this weird frankenstein of red, light brown, and even darkish blond. Despite the fact that the overall hair coverage was there, anytime I tried to grow a beard it just looked patchy as hell from a distance because you could only see the dark hairs and they only comprised like 30% of the total. It's only in the last decade that that ratio finally shifted into something that at least looks presentable.

    Fun memory I want to share:

    I wish my mom was still around. She started going grey around her mid 30s, and being a 12 year old smart ass I used to bug her about it. Now at the same age, I have a nice collection of greys. Being a male, I also have silver whiskers and just the other day found gd grey chest hair. It would be a nice little piece of revenge my mom would have enjoyed.

    I'm 42. My hair is red-brown with a little graying on the sides, whereas if I let my beard grown in it's red on the cheeks and mustache and almost all gray around the chin.

    They were on that ukrainian flight because there are no direct flights between Iran and Canada. These flights stopped in 2012 when the Harper gov't cut diplomatic ties with Iran. Which means the blood of 63 canadians is on the hands of Harper for this, and of Trudeau for not reversing this policy and resuming diplomatic relations with Iran over the past four years.

    This makes me furious at the Trudeau Liberals. They've been acting like caretakers for the CPC for their entire first mandate, keeping the alt-right status quo instead of restauring our country and repairing the harm Harper did.

    I get where you're coming from and agree that the Trudeau government should have been working with Iran to repair the relationship from where Harper left it but it's beyond illogical to try to tie this tragedy directly to either of them. The plane wasn't even heading to Canada yet.

    I don't blame the plane crash on Harper and Trudeau. From initial reports it seems to be a mechanical/maintenance issue, and it would have happened regardless of Canada's foreign policy.

    I blame the fact there were 63 Canadians and an additional 75 travelers bound for Canada on that plane on Harper and Trudeau. Harper made a mess of our foreign policy and Trudeau has maintained that mess instead of cleaning it up, leading to there being no direct Iran-Canada flights and travelers being forced to take this runabout trip.

    I don't see how you can land that blame at anybody's feet. There are myriad ways to get from Iran to Canada through all sorts of connecting flights. This particular airline just happens to be one of the cheapest ways for travelers to get from Iran to Kiev to Toronto. The flight would likely still exist and be as appealing regardless of foreign policy simply due to its cost efficiency.

    I get being frustrated with the lack of answers due to our complete lack of any sort of relationship with Iran but it makes absolutely no sense to blame the crash itself or the death of the occupants on any political leader.

    This is still ridiculous. If it was a Tehran-Toronto flight, the plane still might have gone down.

    e: I must be missing something. I can't get my head around how this could be pinned on Canada at all.

    It is, as people have said, absurd to blame them for that, but even then there are a lot of airlines that effectively make a canada-iran connection, not just ukranian air (it may have been the cheapest though). They could have just as easily been on lufthansa, turkish air which do a one-stop one-airline flight or air canada + nearly any other european airline

    We don't need to offer direct flights to every country in the world - nor do we! There are no flights to - from a quick 5 min search - bulgaria, sweden, norway, finland, large chunks of africa, and many countries only have service to the capital and from toronto only, or only have direct flights by non-canadian carriers

    As a few people have said in the US foreign policy thread, most likely someone at an AA defence system making a mistake because they were on alert for US planes attacking them.

    That's been my assumption all along.... At no point do I believe that anyone made the conscious decision to bomb a commercial plane though.
