One hour of my time to stop fascist is easy.

Absolutely. It's good to see so may people motivated to vote ASAP.

They're giving some of the older folks in the lineup chairs.

So far it's been a hour in line. Still a bunch of people ahead of us.

Longest lines I've seen at an early poll.

One of the staff said about an hour wait.

Currently in line with my family. The lines here are huge.

I guess with this being a stat everyone is available.

The Canadian film industry is so huge that a great majority of 'Hollywood' films have at least part of the movie shot in Canada

One historic district in Winnipeg regularly stands in for pre-fire era Chicago.

And various other parts of the city can easily act like many mid-west American cities.

One of the malls here hosts the shooting of a hallmark channel Christmas movie almost every summer.

You can do tourism wrong (as Italian cities do)

Santorini is feeling the impacts of that over-tourism big time.

You see all the big-name Canadian actors ending up in Hollywood blockbuster movies.

That's because hollywood has the big audiences and therefore the big budgets.

If you want to be an actor you want your work to be seen and you want to be paid.

The state killing its own citizens is never morally defensible.

It's even more egregious when political influence tries to exert pressure on the legal process in an effort to prejudice that verdict.

The trend isn't confined to the Bow Valley or even to Alberta. The federal government has temporarily eased limits on how many temporary foreign workers a business can hire in low-wage positions, and employers across Canada have increasingly made use of the program.

So... who do you want to win the cup? Paul Maurice, after bailing out on us? Or Vegas, so we can say "at least we lost to the hardest team to beat"?
