Is this name making a comeback?

I've realized recently that I really like the name Francesca. Has this name been popular in the last few years? I do know a little girl named Frankie but I don't know if that's her full name or if it's short for something else... Francesca? Francis?....

WARNING: Voter Registration Status

FYI people's provincial voter registrations have been "mysteriously" disappearing from the registry, including my own and several friends of mine.... Even though I have lived here for almost two decades and have never missed voting in a provincial election.

I re-registered last night and would recommend checking your status ASAP.

With the recent leak of our voter information I have the feeling someone is up to no good...!

*** EDIT: I mentioned this on the thread but wanted to add it to the OP - Because my personal information was leaked, anyone who has this information can contact Elections Alberta and update my info so I'm no longer registered in my riding ***

EDIT: Check at www.voterlink.ab.ca

EDIT: I have lived at the same address the entire time I've lived in Alberta and none of my other information has changed either so there's no reason for this to happen to me specifically

EDIT: My postal code has never changed in the time I've lived here either.

EDIT: I made a complaint to the RCMP. The more people who do so, the more attention they will give it. Please call the RCMP non-emergency line for your area.

Out of body experiences while awake?

When i was a kid I was a champ at astral projection, without knowing what it was or deciding to do it. I vividly remember laying down in bed at night and flying out of my body repeatedly. As I aged I just stopped doing it... or rather, it stopped happening to me as I never tried to do it in the first place.

However, over time i have been having gradually more frequent experiences but I'm not sure if they're actual out of body experiences or my imagination, especially since they happen spontaneously while I'm alert and doing other things.

The first one happed when I was 18. My friends and I were walking up a hill from our university back to our dorms. I was pushing my friend in his wheelchair and I started going faster and faster and we were having fun. The weird thing is I saw this happening from a distance... I remember exactly what I was wearing, how we both looked doing it, etc. Then I was just back to my normal perspective like nothing had happened.

Nowadays it's almost like i just pop out of my body, and i look at myself from above. Most of the time it happens when I'm just doing something mundane and out of body experiencesare the last thing on mind. Then I pop back into my body and go on with my activities.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Are these experiences normal or am I going crazy? TIA

Connecting to specific past life

Since I was very young I've dreamed of and connected with a particular country. This feeling of yearning for this country has never let up. I have naturally gravitated towards films and tv shows from this country and only recently connected the dots. The culture, the lifestyle... everything just lines up to my personality and preferences. I don't have the money to travel there or have a professional past life regression session at the moment, so does anyone have any tips on how I can connect to the past life that I feel is the root of this? Any YouTube etc guided meditations you can recommend that you have been successful with? I've tried several but have had no luck. But for some reason at this time in my life the pull is extra strong and I feel like I need to somehow connect with that life to figure out something in this life. Thank you for any advice!

F*** Trudeau stickers?

Albertan here, considering moving to Manitoba. Just curious if during Trudeau's time as Prime Minister were there F*** Trudeau stickers plastered on vehicles across the province? Just trying to get a feel for the vibe... Moved to Alberta from BC 15 years ago and have found that for the most part it's not my vibe lol.
