I went through the list on the linked website. I just highlighted each name and riding, right-clicked and google searched and found out their party affiliation fairly quickly (well, doing that 37 times was a bit time consuming). No NDP or Green party members voted in favour.
The other was told the six-week pathway wasn’t expected to launch until summer — it is now June.
At the time I’m writing this comment, it is approximately an hour BEFORE the start of summer

I’d say “no” to both, but YMMV. They struggled with the launch (their server wasn’t able to handle the capacity, but they eventually upgraded it), and they are only providing minimal updates and some critical fixes. As far as I can tell, they haven’t added anything new. I don’t think Fawkes Games has the resources to make the game much better than it was.
My own personal experience is that it doesn’t crash too much (like, maybe once or twice out of 10-15 hours of playtime). Sometimes it could be server-side or client-side or network related. Best place for updates (ie. to check server status) is their Discord. There’s a subreddit, but, I don’t know if the devs participate or not ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Defiance/ ).
You can play for free, but, there are some limitations (eg. inventory space) that you will come up against fairly quickly. They have a the standard store thing where you buy in-game gems for real money and spend that on stuff (like inventory upgrades). I can’t remember what the costs of the original game were. But, with how they have the game set up, you definitely can “try before you buy”.
Yes I did. I think the original release version, as well as the 2050 update
I think this is the link to the study that the article is referencing:

Playing the revived Defiance game (by Fawkes Games). It’s not a very in-depth mmo, but, it can be fun
CBC’s The Fifth Estate is an investigative team, and the TV series has been running for almost 50 years. They have a lot of experience, as well as the drive to uncover news stories like this.
I don’t know about the bank or H&R block (which, that local office, IMO, seems sus), but the CRA and police don’t have the funding to do long term individual investigations like this, unfortunately. The article speaks about a CRA team that was investigating fraud over several years, but then was stopped
edit to add: I saw an earlier post linking a Fifth Estate story about how the CRA was going after whistleblowers (CRA employees who talked to CBC about tax refund fraud)… so, maybe the CRA isn’t as innocent as I thought
I’m not OP, but I’m guessing Fifteen Million Merits (S01E02)
Yes, yes, and yes.
He also wrote (in the non-fiction 1995 book The Demon-Haunted World), “I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.”
It’s a no-brainer IMO since they usually get about 2x as many votes than seats (percentage-wise in the past few federal elections). I’m not sure if the previous NDP caucus (I think that’s the right term) made an attempt, but I was hoping they would try to.
