      So, how do we model the recent Canadian political drama in Freebase?  Can we fill out related information more fully, so that anyone looking for background can find it here?

        I'm not sure that it can be. I guess for non-Commonwealthers there's some confusion about what exactly the role of a Governor General is. So I suppose we could fill out the list of Governor-Generals.

        Naturally there's not much historical precedent for this sort of crazieness so there's not a lot of additional information to put this in context. We'll probably have a new leader of the opposition by the end of the week so thats something that can be added. But for the most part our fearless leaders will be sitting around doing nothing until January which should give me some time to enter the results from the October federal election and the Queebc provincial election that took place today. Both data sets require some major reconciliation work.

        Please let us know if our data team can help with that.  I have access to some data entry resources who might be able to eg. load lists of parliamentarians, fill in biographical information, etc.  I actually requested this a while ago, but it never bubbled up in priority.  Now seems a good time to push for this!

        Thanks for the offer that would be great to have some help with this. I'll put together a list of resources and then I guess we submit it as a ticket in JIRA?

        Yeah, that's a good place to record it.  Do you have an existing Jira account?  I can bring you in as a watcher on the existing data entry tickets.

        That would be great. I'm narphorium in JIRA as well.
