That's a really good source for linguistics. For what it's worth, my wife described Chapman that way. An apt description, I'd say.

Ah that reminds me, it is indeed a Canadian Tire going in at Stanley Park Mall. I know it was speculated but I noticed they have a sign up confirming it.

You can disagree, but I do think she's dumb. A bit of a snake, too, considering she joined the NDP team yet tends to stand in opposition of everything a social democratic party would support.

Yes but there is a weird theological slant to why they do this. It's Christian flavoured goodwill. I'd rather our government build houses for people as it should be seen as a proper human right.
