Everything I've read says it's a pretty comprehensive overhaul, except maybe the routes along the major arterials.

No sitting PM wants to be seen spending millions on "their" house, and costs have skyrocketed thanks to decades of neglect.

On top of that, the house itself doesn't really meet the needs of the role, and both the house and grounds are considered inadequate from a security perspective.

That is definitely an assumption you could make.

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and blame a technical glitch, and totally not human error.

Fixed.

I like the Circle trilogy - the Bajoran government being unstable is a fun element to those early seasons.

It's a shame Shakaar was such a dud of a character, and the series sort of lost interest in the Bajoran civilian government as the Dominion and Kai Winn started to take up all the oxygen in the series.

This election was so weird in so many ways, I think it will be some time before we fully understand what it all means.

Though in “More Tribbles, More Troubles”, Starfleet had developed quintotriticale grain.

They quickly came to realize that that's too many triticales.

It's a weird situation. Like it or not, Polievre just achieved the highest Conservative vote share since the 1980s.

That he still lost is astonishing, and it'll be a while before anyone can sort out the path forward.

But I suspect they'll keep him around.

Yeah, they'll probably just parachute him into an Alberta riding. We're not rid of him yet.

The warning to Singh, first reported by the Toronto Star, came nearly a year before former prime minister Justin Trudeau claimed Canada had evidence linking Indian agents to the killing of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Singh, who is also Sikh, told reporters the RCMP did not specify who was behind the death threat "but the implication was a foreign government."
