Why I'm posting about this now beats me, but upon seeing a shelf of cans of tuna in the store, I realized I have a list. Generally I like fish, but these are the exceptions.

tuna
swordfish
ling cod1
drum (croaker)2
sturgeon3
snapper4

These fish are either too dry for my preference (first two) or have an odd taste (the rest).

1. But not other kinds of cod, just this.
2. According to the wikipedia article, this kind of fish is generally not considered good eating, and having had some I can see why. But then why did I find it as the fish of the day in one of the finest restaurants in New Orleans?
3. To my regret, I find that the works of the renowned author by this name also have an odd taste.
4. I don't really dislike snapper that much, I just had too much of it when it was the regular special at the Fish Market.

It appears from the initial results that Justin Trudeau will be forming a minority government. This may seem disappointing to his supporters, but the likes of this have happened before.

His father Pierre received a minority plurality of seats in his second election in 1972, following on his glorious initial victory four years earlier.

So son is no worse off than father was. And less than two years later, Pierre called another election, after the NDP withdrew their confidence & supply support, and he won a majority again. So.
