What about some events in your new homeland, Canada?

I was surprised that Louis was allowed to eat another team's food because I thought the clue said that you and your teammate (and by implication, no one else) must eat it all. Is there any precedent for this?

How could anyone know off the top of their head what colour hat Papa Smurf wears? Do you think the players were given a picture of Papa Smurf in the instructions?

Was that one of the best uses of an express pass we've ever seen? They knew they were in last, so they wasted no time mulling over the decision or attempting the task, and it paid off.

Sorry Sean, I'm afraid your anti-review stance has been abundantly clear. You're out of luck.

Yes, and he is clearly confused about the Liberal/PM contest and why Trudeau is still PM, as well as how general elections can be triggered, judging from his various tweets on the subject, if he thinks this is a power grab by Trudeau.

No, I think you're giving him too much credit. He clearly has no idea how a Westminister-style government like Canada's works, and would rather tweet a half-baked thought than ask an advisor for a quick explanation.

He already said he'll make the tariffs bigger in retaliation for the counter-tariffs, so there's no downside for Trudeau stating the truth.

3. If they did make us American against our will and by some miracle actually allowed us a real vote and representation, we would not vote Democrat; we would vote for a new single-issue party dedicated to Canadian independence.

While I agree with the message on her hat, it's not remotely a catchy slogan.

Trump to Russia: We can make a deal about Ukraine; after all, we were great allies during WW2!

Trump to Canada: We will crush and absorb you with economic force!

This is unfuriatingly backwards!!!

I think you're bang on about the sigfig issue giving people alarm bells even though most don't recognize that's why. I see sigfigs overlooked all the time in my job as an engineer which tells me when someone is going through the motions without thinking too hard about the analysis.
