Obviously it takes some suspension of disbelief to take anything in that document seriously, but it suggests that the Senate and Governor General (both unelected) make up the new "Government of Canada", with no mention of the Hous

It depends whom you petition. If you petition the House to call an early election, that's part of our normal democracy. If you petition the army to remove the government, that's attempting a coup. In this case the MoU was not p

They were calling on the "SCGGC" to do those things, i.e. they were calling on unelected bodies to bypass the elected House (which, by the way, is currently a minority government and therefore is being held up with opposition supp

Well it's a matter of interpretation. You can call it just fundamental misunderstanding of the Canadian constitution, or an attempt to overthrow the government, but either way having the GG, Senate, or Elections Canada force an electi

It's not the red dot I'm talking about, it's the fact that the game counts it as a wrong guess as soon as you fill in a word. I want to play around with the letters to make all three words before committing to a guess. But

A backup camera is more than a convenience. It gives you visibility that you simply cannot get without it. Unless the rear half of your car is transparent, every time you back up you do so with a blind spot directly where you're driv

You're making it sound like Spotify is a neutral host of Rogan's IP. That's not the case at all. Spotify bought exclusive rights to Rogan's episodes and then gave him a massive deal to produce more under their banner.

Hard mode is so much more fun (which disallows this strategy). It changes it up much more each day and is more challenging.

It's too bad hard mode only requires that you use positive clues, not negative. I've been trying to push "true hard mode" with my work colleagues. Where every guess must be a potential winner given the information reve
