I think single-issue elections are a myth, but there's no doubt that that's top-of-mind for a lot of people right now.

Multiple elections have established that people do care. As the article points out, every federal election since 2008 (whoops, except 2011) has been won by a party that either promised a carbon tax, or had already implemented one.

Each community has the power to restrict the languages used in that community.

I can't speak to the effectiveness of the system, as I don't really spend time in non-English communities, but it's certainly a poorly-documented feature.

It ensures that people who can't read your post (that is, they have that language deselected in their own account settings) won't see it.

The Cerritos’ captain’s yacht is a similar design to that of the Enterprise E but distinct enough to assume they’re not supposed to be the same spaceframe.

I was glad to see this - the most obvious difference is the design of the nacelle struts, which was obviously a compromise in Insurrection to fit the yacht into the underside of the saucer. It really wouldn't make sense on another ship.

It's likely that they would have the right to order more from CBS Studios if they think it's worth the investment.

To be honest, if he was, by his own admittance, standing on a public sidewalk for 30 minutes with his gear, then he earned that loitering fine.

According to this very article, with emphasis added,

Quebec City's municipal bylaw says that is "prohibited for a person, without a reasonable motive … to loiter, wander or sleep in a street or a public space."

[Criminal defence lawyer Florence Boucher Cossette] said Morris likely has a good shot at winning his case, as people accused of loitering when they were sunbathing or drinking coffee on a bench were acquitted in previous cases.

It’s worth noting that Bibic has a history of threatening to pull investments whenever the government does something he doesn’t like. Earlier this year, Bibic suggested there would be “unintended consequences” if the government and CRTC pushed more regulations on the big telecom companies, and Bell joined other telcos in threatening investments over a wholesale ruling in 2019.

A) Welcome to the internet.

B) I don't actually think it's unreasonable to think that a headline should clearly indicate the subject of the article - why have headlines otherwise?

150 is a much higher number - we should buy those instead.
