I live closer to Winnipeg than I do to my state capital. We are often referred to as "Canada Lite" by other states.

Been there made that. The flavors are dulled a noticeable amount compared to a sauce made with fresh ripe tomatoes.
Yes that's true. But that's a very good reason to not add more.
I had that misfortune when I was teaching math at my local school for 4 years.
I probably spend more time you side than you do. I just mostly do it in a forest.
I wouldn't claim to be all that enamored of humans as a rule. But I'm not a hermit in the classic sense.
This is why I make my own fresh tomato sauce. A single pound/half kilo of ripe tomatoes and about 15 minutes, you can have a fresh pasta sauce at home.
Them little old Italian Grandmothers ain't wasting all day to slow cook a tomato sauce. Unless they want to show off. They got lemoncello to make and drink.......
Yeah, I live in legal weed state. The nearest dispensary is a mere 20 miles away. I'm not even sure they sell vapes. Flower and edibles for sure, but I have no idea if they sell vapes. (I've never been there-- weed just ain't my thing). But I still don't see any used ones tossed out. Maybe we are just neater people here and don't litter.
Then you need to find a different planet.
If you choose to look, Ted Kennedy received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth 2 whilst a sitting senator. And no one batted an eye. In fact he was widely praised for being knighted when it happened.
There are lots of meaningless honorary titles floating about if you care to actually look. And yes those types of titles, like "knighthood", are meaningless these days and have been for a number of centuries.
Ain't no night clubs within 100 miles of me. Plenty of bars, but no night clubs.
That seems like a "you" problem at the polls in your state. Not an issue here.
