A redistribution took place before the 1966 election, after which the Shuswap Lake area became represented by the renamed riding of Shuswap.

gollark: Yes. But CC does it differently so it *is* sandboxed that way so we can do fun and ill-advised things.

gollark: CC is also extremely well sandboxed now. So much so that they can safely expose `debug`.

gollark: I'd actually expect OC to be a bit more vulnerable to that now since it uses native Lua instead of Cobalt's Java implementation.

gollark: Sandbox?

gollark: Ah yes, ye olden times.
