I signed up with lemm.ee a few months back and it was 4 weeks -- 28 days.

It's often under its Italian name, passata. I'm Canadian too and it's usually sold in glass bottles on the same shelves as spaghetti sauce. It's from Unico for the one I currently have in my fridge, but there's a few brands.

Hooray, but this was two weeks ago?

Whoever the writer thinks should be faster, so as to serve the needs of the story being told.

Partly. Their largest shareholder is RBI, which is Brazilian-American-Canadian. Head office is in First Canadian Place in Toronto. The terms of the deal that RBI cut to buy them has the Canadian government requiring them to keep most of their office side of things in Canada.

No, they're a big box store, not associated with a mall like a department store.

It's been a long time coming. Department stores in Canada have been dying off one by one, and they were the last. It's a business model that just doesn't work here anymore.

I'd say try reviving the group by posting there yourself for a while. There's probably a few people who are still subscribed to it, so you'll get more eyeballs right out of the box than you would starting a fresh one.

If it's in the Daily Mail, you can safely assume the opposite is true.

Cadbury is also owned by Mondelez, so many British chocolate bars are out too.

Canva is not European, but it's also not American -- they're from Australia.

The EU already has a land border in the Americas. French Guiana is part of the union and it touches Brazil and Suriname. So the gate is already open to work it from the south up instead of the north down.

I read somewhere -- great source, I know -- that the existing rule is that the country has to be in Europe, though, not that it has a border. Otherwise Malta, Ireland, and Cyprus would not qualify, and the UK too back when they were in.

Oddly enough, the Canadian/Danish border is a questionable one for this purpose anyway -- Hans Island (where the border is) is part of Greenland and Greenland is not in the EU. It left in 1985 and is now one of the "Overseas countries and territories" that have special rights in relation to the EU but are not actually in it.

😍 Awww, whooo's the cutest little menacing new predator? Is it you? Is it you? It is! 😍

It's not a precedent -- this has already happened several times. John Turner was PM in 1984 without having a seat. Mackenzie King won an election and became PM all while not being an MP in 1926. He was even a seat-less PM for a couple of months again in 1945.

Prior to the convention of standing for election soon after becoming PM being a hard-and-fast thing, John A. McDonald was in a similar position at Confederation in 1867, and so were two more 19th-century PMs, Abbott and Bowell.

Given the way that the Conservatives blew several conventions out of the water last time they were in power (proroguing Parliament inappropriately, and refusing to allow a coalition second crack at forming a government after an election) I agree it would be a good idea to make this a law. But ringing an alarm bell over Carney specifically is a bit too much. The Liberals are already talking about which back-bencher will resign and Carney run: somewhere in the West Island of Montreal looks like a likely candidate as they are super-safe Liberal seats.

You probably should not be surprised to learn that the US does not entirely recognize the appellation. If the wine was marketed as "Champagne" prior to 2006, they may use the name in the United States.

I haven't been able to confirm precisely, but the Midori browser appears to be from Spain or at least Europe. Their website only comes in English/Español and the only events they have listed as attending have been in Germany. It's Gecko-based, so it's "Firefox-ish". It also takes Firefox add-ins, which is nice.

I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's been working fine. Spotify hiccups on it, but that's the only site I go to regularly that doesn't like it.

So far so good, though I haven't really stressed it out with anything complicated yet. I write game books and things, but that's been in Office 365 and (lately) LibreOffice.
