gollark: What do you mean?
gollark: Which I think just requires that `(x^2 − y^2)/8xy` and `8xy` not be zero.
gollark: The question is probably just asking "what is required to be the case for that to not be undefined".

Notes
- 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.
