gollark: I'm not sure I would trust my brain to computers in any case, given the horrible security record of... most complex computer systems... which will likely only get worse as complexity increases. Though I suppose my foolish organic brain has its own (probably not remotely exploitable, at least?) security flaws.

gollark: Hopefully brains parallelize well.
gollark: Maybe. Growth in computing power has slowed lately.

  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.
  2. French name Rivière Verte; both names are official.[5]
  3. Official name now simply Lake Branch.[6]
