Demographics
gollark: Somewhat.
gollark: Eh, it has similar problems.
gollark: The 80% of power back thing pretends the grid is a large battery, when it's *not*, and you'll just be using fossil fuels probably.
gollark: Well, sure. But I don't think it's a good general solution.
gollark: Nuclear is much better, but people go "OH NO NUCLEAR SCARY" and yet seemingly do not care about the alternative effectively being fossil fuels?

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
