Hooray, but this was two weeks ago?
It's been a long time coming. Department stores in Canada have been dying off one by one, and they were the last. It's a business model that just doesn't work here anymore.

An EDM band from the 1990s that released two albums. This is the second, shortly after which they lost two members to stampeding cows at an outdoor rave and then disbanded.
For Ontario readers, Farm Boy's store brand cereals are made in Canada.
The key word in "constitutional monarchy" is "constitutional", not "monarchy". The monarch must follow the parliament's requests, and not doing so is unconstitutional. Parliament is sovereign, at least in all of the countries that derive their monarchy from the UK's.
Outside of the UK there wouldn't be a fight anyway: in all the Commonwealth countries (except the ones that have since gone fully republican), the monarch has a representative called "the governor general" who is selected by the Parliament and recommended to the monarch at which point see above. The monarch has to take the advice of who is to be their governor-general. Issues basically never get to the monarch for them to mess anything up. The loyal-to-his-country deputy gets first crack at everything the monarch does in theory and has no reason to go against Parliament. If somehow the g-g or the king did speak out, it'd be a legal mess but everyone would ignore them. Practically we'd either get ourselves a new monarch or just say to hell with it and become a republic.
To answer your specific question then, yes, it's pro forma. The monarch's role is to be the embodiment of all legislative, judicial, and executive power, in a fairly close analog to what the American Constitution is. But the Constitution can't exercise any of those powers and the monarch can't either. It's just a historical oddity that they can walk and talk, unlike a piece of paper.
Commander Keen is probably the one that I liked the most that is also well known.
My personal favorite was Bass Class, which is weird because I've zero interest in real-life fishing, then or now.
Yes, but it doesn't matter enough. The square-cube law means that the mass being supported goes up faster than the area of the layer doing the supporting does. So each additional brick on the bottom still ends up carrying more weight as the pyramid gets taller.
It's the only one in English unless you allow things like "The absolute value of -20".
Worst. Cryptid. Ever.
Naw, it's got to be Aretha Franklin's "Respect". Or maybe the Beatles with "Twist and Shout". Soft Cell's "Tainted Love"?
The Mysterious Poop Chuckers is definitely going to be my next band's name.
