If you're going to alter the candidacy requirements, how about requiring candidates to live in the riding for at least a year before running there?

Sad to say, the first thing that popped into my head when Maomao said, "It was a woman," was, "For someone who grew up in the pleasure district, you sure lack imagination." I guess I'm incorrigible.
When in the past ten years have they ever been okay?
It does bring the constant closures (actual and threatened) in Thessalon, Ont. into perspective a bit, though.
Which is traditionally a sign of distress . . . Maybe not entirely inappropriate, at that.
They have less power density than other lithium-ion chemistries when both are new, but the dropoff over time is also less. That means that unless you replace your power banks fairly often, the LiFePO₄ version is likely to have higher density for much of its lifetime. They also tolerate at least double the number of charging cycles.
Not sure how to go about marketing that in our current disposable society, though.
Those of us who live in the province but voted for someone else aren't quite sure, but the fact that a lot of people seem not to have realized the last election was even taking place may have had something to do with it.
There were two different animated PNG extensions, MNG and APNG. Neither of them ever really caught on. I guess they're hoping to do better by baking it into the core spec.
It all depends on whether Parliament wants the tariffs gone so badly that they'll back bad moves by Carney (technically, even the DST hasn't been repealed yet, because Carney doesn't have the authority to do that by himself—it's been paused, but it's still law until Parliament reconvenes and votes on it). Write your MP. Make it clear to them that you'd rather have tariffs than give in to the US on any of this.
Technically, being Deaf doesn't mean you can't speak, although fine-tuning for intelligibility is obviously a lot more work than it is for hearing people.
So they're outsourcing causing scandals to an LLM? I suppose that's a novel use of the technology.
Some of the existing countertariffs are targeted specifically at the southern states (thus oranges, sugar, tobacco, and such) who tend to be more likely to vote Republican. The idea was originally less "strike out against everyone in the US even if they didn't want this" and more "hurt the people who caused this mess". How well that's worked in practice is difficult to say.
If you can. Medical devices are particularly nasty: there may be only one or two brands on the market that do what you need, because such devices understandably require extensive certification. If the only available option requires an app, you're stuck. If you need something that meets other legal or professional certification requirements, you might also have very limited options.
For just about anything else, I agree that there's probably some alternative to an app-locked device, although some level of convenience tradeoff may be necessary.
