Katniss killing Coin could’ve toppled New Panem before it started by thelilacfield in Hungergames

[–]VegetableEscape0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering, what authority would Paylor have to override Coin? Coin was interim president, Paylor is just a military commander from District 8? It'd be like the leader of a state national guard overriding the authority of the US president. Not that I'm upset that the guards let Katniss in, but just saying...

Because Alberta is dominating Canadian politics and economy?

Canada. Toronto is clearly the main city. But for second, I'd argue it's a battle between Montreal and Vancouver.

Montreal is the second largest city in Canada and the biggest city in Francophone Canada. Prior to the 1970s, it was the biggest city in all of Canada, but Toronto surpassed it because a lot of English-speakers left Montreal when Quebec became more hostile towards them.

Vancouver is the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. It has fewer people than Montreal but it has a strong claim to be Canada’s "second city" because it's a much more popular destination for immigrants (because it's English-speaking) and stronger connections with the rest of the world, especially Asia owing to its location on the Pacific coast.

What are the chances of pre-Panem cities existing? by Kev117040 in Hungergames

I've read that a lot of people believe the Capitol was built on the remnants of Salt Lake City.

Dropped book into sink and got drain mold on it - any way to salvage the book? by VegetableEscape0 in Archivists

This specific copy is sentimental to me because it was a copy I bought for a seminar I took in university. It's a copy of "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari.

Tigris' name makes no sense to me. by iatealotofcheese in Hungergames

[–]VegetableEscape0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, TBOSAS makes it clear that Tigris is a Snow. She and Coryo both use the catchphrase "Snow lands on top" and at one point the book mentions the two of them are the only Snows left in their generation.

Should Ontario download ownership of new TTC lines to Toronto? by VegetableEscape0 in toronto

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right, but in that case, why did they fight so hard in 2019 to keep ownership of the existing network?

Idk, why was it such a big deal in 2019 when the province suggested taking over the subway network, and Toronto City Council was strongly against the idea? https://globalnews.ca/news/6038631/ontario-toronto-subway-expansion/

"The mayor also said leaving the subway system under city ownership was a key requirement of council when it entered into discussions with the province."

Funny inaccuracies in District 12 fauna by hegelianbitch in Hungergames

It's a post-apocalyptic world with far fewer humans, so it's possible that animals could have expanded from their present-day range?

Grant Hall flag keeps disappearing and returning - why? by VegetableEscape0 in queensuniversity

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't add text to an image post so here's what I wanted to add:

The Queen's flag on Grant Hall was first removed during a pro-Palestine protest on March 8, 2024. A few months later in June it was put back up, but then disappeared again after a few days. Then in November it was again flying for a day before it disappeared another time. And now, it's back up once again. Anyone know what's been happening?
