@ink_slinger Yes, the G&M has an ideology. But do you think they wouldn't have mentioned the prediction if the polls showed the NDP sweeping back to power?

Have a look at the article they'll publish next week about the PEI election.

@JordiGH @tessaracht The CAQ had banning the hijab as a plank of their platform; the UCP will have non-white cabinet ministers. It's not the same relationship at all.

@JordiGH @tessaracht Every political party has its crazies, but no, the Alberta United Conservative Party is not white nationalists. And neither are the citizens of Alberta, who will probably elect the UCP as their next government.

@pomological A tasty Nova Scotia apple, the #Gravenstein.

@allan St Kateri Tekakwitha, Lily of the Mohawks, is the feast preferred by the CCCB. Enjoy your bun.

@ink_slinger @bgcarlisle Switzerland and Estonia, according to Wikipedia. (I recall reading somewhere that there were doubts about the security of the Swiss software.)

@bthall @invaderxan Do you have any good suggestions for how we *should* organise such papers as pdfs?

@ChristieMalry
According to Wikipedia, the spire was a 19th c. reconstruction of the original which had been removed in the 18th c.

"Instead, he proposed to rebuild the original medieval spire and bell tower over the transept, which had been removed in 1786 because it was unstable in the wind."

@ink_slinger @bgcarlisle A fair question. I'm not familiar with any such research, no.

But it makes sense to you, doesn't it?

@bgcarlisle @ink_slinger Thirdly...

Well, I can't find the quote I wanted, but briefly, the best way to make a decision is to listen to one person who strongly believes the affirmative argue against another person who strongly believes the negative. In the same way, we get better politics because the parties oppose each other.

In principle that would lead to policy flip-flops, but less so when the marginal voter chooses the winner.
