But at the time, it was Polliver. No one believed me, and then Greg MacEachern said that was the name he knew him by as well at that time. So yeah, definitely an opportunist.

It was Royal Gallipeau who introduced him to me and I remember it very well because he was introduced to me as the youngest MP in the House of Commons. Now he uses the French pronunciation of his surname.

What's funny to me is I was introduced to him during the Orange Revolution when I was one of the election observers and he was in Ukraine as well at an embassy reception. He went by the last name "Polliver" at that time.

The one that gets to me is LLM. I have an LLM degree which is a masters in law so I'm always confused when I see posts referring to LLM in the AI context.

It was the one in the drug store. The Canada Post offices were closed. These are privately-owned and I hope the owner gets lots of complaints about this employee.

If you have to ship a book as a package, that is the case, and obviously I can't run a business that way. Right now the cost of postage is so high that other alternatives are lower and have tracking and insurance. Canada Post is pricing itself right out of the market.
