Talk:Canary trap

A canary by any other name
Why canary trap? --Abdull (talk) 14:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Canaries were testers in mines. A caged canary was carried into the mine and if it died, the air was obviously unsafe. It may also come from the phrase "sing like a canary." 86.179.119.153 (talk) 11:00, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The latter makes much more sense. I don't see how the coal-mine canary would be relevant. Equinox ◑ 06:09, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Wrong Andrew Lewer
Admittedly, I don't know much about the particulars of british politics, but after reading the Guardian's article sourcing Andrew Lewer's firing (in examples section), I'm pretty sure it's not the same guy as the MP whose page is linked. The article mentions that the fired Andrew is a home office private parliament secretary, not an MP - so my understanding is that he was some kind of aide? Also, can an MP really be fired? Aren't they elected? DommageCritique (talk) 09:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
