@avilewisLet's also not forget that Telus, the seemingly unrestricted from any anti-consumer laws security, "health", TV distribution outlet and sometimes ISP decided it was too hard to run Email servers and handed all of their customers email accounts over to Google.When one traces network paths from Telus BC to places in Ontario or Quebec, we can watch the network packets traverse over networks in the US to get there.Telus doesn't have any interest in being Canadian aside from sucking up every last Canadian dollar they can.

"Inside Haida Gwaii’s historic plan to ditch dieselBecause of its reliance on diesel, Haida Gwaii produces about three per cent of emissions caused by electricity generation in B.C., despite having only a few thousand residents.Haida Gwaii is one of 44 remote communities in B.C. that are not connected to the provincial electrical grid. For power, most rely on diesel, which has heavy environmental and human health costs. Solar North, a two-megawatt solar project by Haida-owned Tll Yahda, came online in December — the first project of its kind to be built on a remote grid in B.C., and a big step forward in the First Nation’s plans to transition off diesel.Whether operating independently or with BC Hydro, remote projects require funding to get off the ground. However, a key federal grant program by Natural Resources Canada to fund diesel reduction will end next year."#bcpoli https://thenarwhal.ca/haida-gwaii-solar-remote-power/

@MatWright There should be a specific word that ALWAYS denotes a period of EXACTLY 40 days. The word could even be synonymous with isolating on a boat at anchor (for public health).The genius would be that as people began to compromise and bargain about shortening the duration, the word denoting a period of 40 days wouldn't change. So everyone who misused this word denoting a period of 40 days to refer to a shorter period would have to denote what they did each time they said the word.

@GPJohnston @sarae these were not long sections, the trailer was two half-trailers. So I'm a little skeptical that the destination was any kind of dimensional product, but it could be for an artisanal use. Let's hope.
