The revived show was abruptly cancelled after two seasons in January - but now the Niles Crane actor has hinted he would be happy to boost up the cast if there were a second revival.

One hundred and seventy-seven thousand people.

That's roughly 3.5 per cent of Alberta's population. It's also the amount of signatures that will be needed to force a separation referendum

It can’t be that hard to take advantage of this and get a hundred other random referendums. What else should they get everyone to vote on?

If the parties don’t see even marginal gains in a region they won’t bother putting resources towards increasing that growth and eventually flipping a seat.

If we ever get away from first past the post they also need to see that it would benefit them to have second place.

It’s important to vote regardless of the outcome.

Your statement is only accurate if tire exclusively talking about the food being imported. American fertilizer ingredients and a lot of the equipment (or materials for the equipment) come from Canada and other countries hit by the tariffs. There was an article a month ago about how the Vermont maple syrup industry is totally screwed because all their equipment comes from Canada.

True. It’s not a great article.

The auction Hudson's Bay is pursuing with Heffel Gallery Ltd. allows items to be removed from the process if they are found to be owned by others or have historical or cultural significance that make them inappropriate for a sale.

So it can be protected and blocked for auction?

There was someone on CBC Radio discussing this yesterday and they pointed heavily to how effectively conservative talking points are being pushed online by young social media influencers. Some unrelated research has shown that the beginning and end of a lot of political information younger people are receiving is on social media. Heck, I saw one article discussing how a lot of young people go to TikTok first when they want to learn how to fix something. What a stupid resource to go to for something like that, so if people are trying to figure out how to change a tire on TikTok they’re certainly also going there for their political information.

The seemingly obvious answer is that the other parties should be working more heavily on putting out counter messaging on these channels, but the way the algorithms work these people won’t even see the content because the algorithm ignores it and only provides further polarization of ideas.

The article that is linked (which is not much of an article) has translated the original source poorly. It’s being blocked because content on it was deemed discriminatory (not that it’s propaganda).
