New enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. QPQ done. Earwig found only proper noun phrases as similar text, not problematic. Interesting hook, adequately sourced. I wasn't previously familiar with the word "binning" (in my vernacular it would be "dumpster diving") and thought it sounded British rather than Canadian, but if it's the word the Globe & Mail used then it's the right word for the hook. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:43, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
