Spain was going to make sure no vote was fair, open, and legitimate.
Yes, and they seem to have succeeded. So at the end of the day, a proper scientifically conducted survey that doesn't suffer from political interference (government or otherwise) would be a far better measure of the public's position on independence.
So what you are saying is no matter how many people want to leave, as long as you crack enough heads open during the vote to keep people away from the polls, you can always claim a minority want to leave?
No, he is saying that unless the vote is fair and open and legally legitimate, there will be people who don't bother to vote because they've been told that the vote is irrelevant. Anything else is essentially just taking a survey from a biased group.
The Quebec referendum was allowed but the federal government never stated that they would recognize the result. As I understand it, the only law allowing the secession was a Quebec provincial law. The legality of the referendum was challenged after the fact:
In 1998, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Québec does not have the right to unilaterally secede from Canada. Nonetheless, the nine justices expressed the opinion that the other provinces and Ottawa would be obliged to enter into negotiations with Québec if voters in Québec unequivocally expressed their desire for independence by a clear majority

There is a demand for a payment method with low transaction charges for people who dont carry a balance, who have protection of 50$ limit on liability.
Is there? If a person never carries a balance, then wouldn't they probably have the money on hand to pay for purchases without the credit step? I think most people who don't carry balances just like the rewards programs that come with the card and don't know or don't care that the ultimate result is paying higher prices anyway.
Regarding reshuffling and number of decks, the term used in the material I was reading is % penetration of the deck. If you're only going through 5% of a 6-deck shoe then counters won't have a lot of information. However it was suggested that reshuffling too much and using automatic shufflers drove players away.
Casino operators will interfere with people they think are card-counting in many ways. For example, they can change the table rules to minimize strategy (e.g. change min/max bets), ban you from the game, or ban you from the casino.
Not sure about hearthstone, but you can put pretty much anything in a EULA.
Not sure why you think credit cards are the only electronic option. I personally use debit for most transactions because I don't need 2% worth of it going into a CC points program at the expense of paying 2% more in the base price because the merchant needs to recoup that fee.

Canada does, it's just suppressed by organizations because of political correctness.
So if the data is suppressed (and your article confirms it is not collected at all in some jurisdictions), how do you know there is a trend of gun violence specifically in poor black neighbourhoods, but not in other racial categories? Personally I think Canada likely has similar, if less inflamed, issues as the US in terms of racial disparity and over-representation in criminal statistics simply because CA/US cultures aren't that far apart. However I find claims of specific trends lack credibility without actual data to back it up. I would love if we had actual public data on this so we could try to address issues that might exist.
Or you can simply pay attention to the media, which paint a picture of what's happening too.
No, there is too much bias in media. I take trends in media as trends in what people are interested in at the time. When I see an uptick in articles about police killing unarmed black civilians, I don't assume this is suddenly happening more often, only that people are suddenly more interested in those stories.
Speaking of which, we're seeing exactly that same type of problem with gun violence in black neighborhoods here in Canada. But we don't see the same level of problem in say poor chinese, indian, or vietmanese neighborhoods.
Given that Canada doesn't track racial statistics as they relate to crime very well (or at all in many cases), I'm going to have to see a citation for that.
Ah, yes I did mistake the health insurance regulations and life insurance, my bad. However it is still bollocks about most police reporting suicides as accidents for claim purposes. Yes there is a 2 to 3 year contestability period on most policies where they would deny the claim due to suicide. However insurance companies don't need the police to identify a death as suicide to deny the claim, they can have their own finding of suicide (e.g. Heath Ledger).
Police usually report a suicide as an accident, both to save the feelings of the family members and to help them avoid difficulty collecting on any life insurance. (Suicide voids a life insurance policy, so the family may both lose a loved one and be impoverished if the police or coroner's report mentions the "s" word in the cause-of-death slot.)
The federal 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) prohibits discrimination against a person covered by a group health insurance policy based on health factors (29 USC 1182). Interim final regulations interpreting the law specifies that a health insurance plan cannot exclude coverage for an injury resulting from a medical condition, whether physical or mental, if it is an injury the policy would otherwise cover (26 C.F.R. 54.9802-1T(b)(2)(iii)).
Self-inflicted injuries, such as injuries resulting from attempted suicide, are presumed to be the result of a mental illness, such as depression, and therefore coverage for treatment of self-inflicted injuries cannot be excluded, according to Insurance Department staff. The only exception is if the person is covered by an individual policy that excludes coverage for pre-existing conditions and the person had a prior history of mental illness. (For more information on HIPAA and prior medical conditions, see the enclosed OLR report, 2003-R-0778.)

You are a complete ass. Did you stop reading after that first bullet? Let's provide the whole quote mmk? There are four bullets, and you quoted only the first.
It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity. That said, human activities may have already caused changes that are not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of the changes or observational limitations, or are not yet confidently modeled (e.g., aerosol effects on regional climate).
Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones globally to be more intense on average (by 2 to 11% according to model projections for an IPCC A1B scenario). This change would imply an even larger percentage increase in the destructive potential per storm, assuming no reduction in storm size.
There are better than even odds that anthropogenic warming over the next century will lead to an increase in the occurrence of very intense tropical cyclone in some basins–an increase that would be substantially larger in percentage terms than the 2-11% increase in the average storm intensity. This increase in intense storm occurrence is projected despite a likely decrease (or little change) in the global numbers of all tropical cyclones.
Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones to have substantially higher rainfall rates than present-day ones, with a model-projected increase of about 10-15% for rainfall rates averaged within about 100 km of the storm center.
Good response AC, I would have said similar but with more derogatory remarks. I was unable to reply earlier as I had left to pick up my kids from their anti-white indoctrination daycare.
300,000 white men died so the slaves could be free.
And how many white men died fighting to keep slavery? You can't give credit to "white men" for one thing and not the other. Or maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be attributing the accomplishments of specific groups of people to an entire race.
The Royal Navy put an end to the slave trade on the high seas.
Yes, after they stopped being part of the slave trade themselves for the previous 150 years. I'd say they owed it to the world. And while it was great that it was stopped, that doesn't mean we should applaud "white men" generally as having accomplished this.

In fact, that would mean that 100% of the Ferengi in Starfleet were bridge officers.
Done. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had Nog on the bridge of the Defiant for pretty much the entire last season.
