 * Desperately needs sourcing improvement, but the Canadian Encyclopedia link provided by Toronto2020 above singlehandedly slamdunks this by itself — it's a key principle of WP:GNG that one solid entry in an external encyclopedia (presuming, of course, that we aren't simply copyvioing it) counts for as much by itself as five or six news articles. And for added bonus, the "suggested reading" section at the end of the Canadian Encyclopedia entry lists four more potential sources right off the top — and while they won't all be usable sources, ProQuest's Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies coughs up 235 more hits. Keep and flag for reference improvement. Bearcat (talk) 00:01, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per the entry in the Canadian Encyclopedia which establishes WP:GNG and provides further references.  freshacconci  talk to me  14:03, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
