While I'm sure you thought your reply was cynically amusing, please be
assured that you are quite alone in that thought. The "tea leaves" in
question are those from the Industry Canada site. Whether that
intention comes to pass or not is another matter.

No, your tea leaves comment suggested something terribly vague. It
implies that you are reading some vague indicator.

If your comment that it might change was based on seeing something
on the Industries Canada site, then it's not nearly that vague, and
it's not reading tea leaves. It's equivalent to reading your local
newspaper and seeing something definite.

You used the "tea leave" line, suggesting that you were indeed
getting some rumor or interpreting something you'd seen somewhere.
It was precisely that vagueness that got me to post, suggesting
that if it was "tea leaves" you were reading then you might be misled.
That led me to search for any concrete information, which got
me to the Industries Canada site. If you'd simply cut out the
"cuteness" and simply said you'd find something indicating it was
or that it might be coming to Canada on the Industry Canada website,
even including the URL, then it wouldn't look like you were misreading
something.
