Should there be a hyphen in by-law? What the hell is a parkade? Like lemonade?

Take heart! “America” is not illiterate, but you are ignorant of geography. The city of Nanaimo — sharing the name with those delicious bars — is in British Columbia. No, not South America. Canada.

(And a parkade is just a parking garage. A Canadian parking garage.)
