Yeah, the Delta arc is pretty laser-focused on the Vaadwaur, but it's a little surprising they didn't do a payroll or something.
There's definitely nothing in STO, despite the dev teams absolutely loving deep cuts.
I'm glad the CBC is revisiting the story now that they have the other side.
Meaney had always struck me as the ultimate working actor, fairly ambivalent about Star Trek beyond it being a job (which is fine).
It's hard to imagine him turning down an offer, were it too come in.
I, for one, think that everyone better at sports than me should be banned from competition.
The pair then told the story of how Paul Giamatti was cast as the season 1 villain:
Alex Kurtzman: So this happened because he was doing press for The Holdovers, and when he was asked about the part that he would most want to play, he said, “I want to play a Klingon on Star Trek.”… So we called his agent and said, “Was that a thing he just said, was that a bit?”… And she called back and she said, “He’d love to sit down with you. We got on a Zoom with him and he cried. He was so excited at the prospect of playing in the world of Star Trek and he was talking about how meaningful it was him… It was just one of those moments where you’re like, “Oh, one of the greatest actors in the world, and he really wants to come join us.” So that was pretty amazing.
Noga Landau: He also chose which role he wanted to play. We came to him and we said, “You could be this guy or that guy, or that guy.” And he thought about it and he came back and told us that the part he plays is the one he wanted.
Alex Kurtzman: We thought it was going to be like one episode because his schedule is so busy, and he was like, “No, I want to play the villain.” We’re like, “That’s the whole season.” He was like, “Great, let’s do it!”
Love to see it.
When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.
The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.
The investigation also revealed the same vehicle was involved in an erratic driving incident on Pembina Highway a day prior.
Yeah, sounds like a real upstanding citizen.
This is a case of Fun With Commas - Sobeys is owned by a different obscene conglomerate, Empire Company.
Metro, Walmart, Giant Tiger, and Empire are the co-conspirators along with the Weston companies.
I think the headline misrepresents it a bit, but:
Tim's has a long history of playing to a sense of nostalgia and "shared Canadian values".
Politicians have been using this association to try to seem like Regular Joes for years.
The franchise is owned by one of the largest corporations in the world.
Their menu increasingly contradicts the "traditional" vibe they promote, with newer items like Sweet Chili Chicken Loaded Wraps and Loaded Bowls, Tiramisu Cold Brew, and Blackberry Yuzu Sparkling Quenchers.
They're also increasingly expanding options that discourage people from eating in-store, eroding their "de facto town square" image.
Maybe the confused identity of the brand reflects the confused identity of Canada as a whole.
To be honest, it's a pretty muddled piece, but there are a couple of interesting points in there.
Well, that seems like an odd thing for a CEO to advocate for...
If the reason for the disruption stems from one of Canada’s two main freight railways – whose tracks Via runs on – he says they would be the ones to pay up, further incentivizing smooth operations along the line.
Peloquin, who stepped into the top job at Via in June, is also calling for rules that would give the Crown corporation’s trains formal right of way over freight trains, a privilege Amtrak passenger cars enjoy in the U.S.
Ah.
Okay yeah, I fully agree that they could have started much sooner. Getting things done quickly isn't exactly the Liberals' forté.
