Roger Vadim's Barbarella was released 58 years ago today. "In the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while seeking to stop an evil scientist who threatens to unleash a powerful weapon upon the galaxy." Such a 1968 movie.

The number of separatists in Alberta is very small, but every single one of them will vote in the separation referendum. It’s critical that everyone who doesn’t want separation votes as well, or else this could easily be Canada’s own Brexit moment. Don’t assume anything. Vote.

I'm not a King purist, nor a CARRIE purist, but if your changes to a story make it less complicated and less interesting, I think what you're doing should be understood less as adaptation and more as babyproofing

First past the post not beating the allegations www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Polls have consistently shown that sovereignty is a low priority of Quebecers, with one Léger poll showing that 70 per cent of Quebecers would not support separating from Canada.
But the electoral math told a different story.
In a a remarkable feat made possible by the first-past-the-post electoral system, the PQ formed a minority government with as little as 28 per cent of the popular vote - the lowest voter share to achieve that in Quebec's history, and one that is certain to add fuel to the debate about electoral reform.
