And they included plenty of amusing answer options, like Acadians for an Aboriginal tribe. Or this question: List three ways in which you can protect the environment. a. Work near where you live, drive to work, take a taxi. b. Use unleaded gas, drive a small car, travel by yourself. c. Compost and recycle, conserve energy and water, walk or join a car pool. d. Pour solvents down storm drains, leave taps running, leave lights on.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, October 27 2006 19:18 Profile Homepage #16 And I'm reminded of a number of discussions about what to dispose of where in the lab. It always seems to come down to two kinds of people: the "The contents of the unlabeled bottle are probably harmless, so save space and money by dumping it down the drain" crowd and the "it could conceivably be harmful, even though it's a mixture of deionized water and soap" partisans. The consensus is, of course, that someone has probably poured it down the drain already somewhere and a little more won't hurt even if the glass bottle is starting to dissolve and the liquid screams like lost souls while going down the drain. —Alorael, who has faith in the power of science.

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Sunday, October 29 2006 15:02 Profile #22 Canada is technically still a monarchy, and although the constitution was written in 1867 and substantially overhauled in 1982, the form of government it lays down is in some ways rather medieval. The Queen is the executive branch. The constitution of Canada does not mention the office of prime minister, or a cabinet, let alone political parties. It refers only to the Queen's viceregal representative the Governor General, and to a Privy Council whose duty is to advice the Queen, and whose composition is entirely up to her. In the British tradition, how things actually work is determined more by tradition and precedent than by the written constitution. But in principle the Queen (or the Governor General on her behalf) can appoint anyone prime minister. As far as I can see, she could simultaneously appoint two prime ministers, three poo-bahs and a honcho, and listen to all their advice. She can likewise dismiss the prime minister at any time. Only a majority vote in parliament can pass a law (which in principle the Queen could still veto), so a government that cannot regularly command such majorities is impotent. Governors General therefore appoint prime ministers who lead majority parties. But in a case where no party has an outright majority, it is not so implausible that the GG might appoint someone other than the leader of the largest party. If two or more other parties could muster a majority in combination, and seem likely to be able to co-operate enough to govern that way for at least a year or two, one of their leaders might get the nod. Probably only after the largest party had formed a government and lost a confidence motion, though. And even then a new election, perhaps only a few weeks after the last one, would be a more likely alternative.
