Except that Trump-style government will have negative knock-on effects on the Canadian status quo, and people will inevitably blame the current administration for that...

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!

Indeed - for those who may not be aware, Lower Decks season posters tend to be based on the corresponding film.

We're now up to Star Trek V.

A red theatre seat with a seat belt, floating in space with the USS Enterprise in the background. Text on the poster says, "Why Are They Putting Seatbelts in Theatres This Summer?" Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

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.

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.

To me, this is the crux of it:

Dr. Jitender Sareen is part of a group of eight university psychiatry chairs who wrote to federal ministers and urged the committee not to expand MAID to include mental illness.

Sareen said practice standards to guide psychiatrists and clinicians are inadequate, and Canada is lagging behind other countries in mental health and addictions funding.

"Offering death when the person has not had the opportunity to get better, with or without treatment, is, in our opinion, not acceptable," said Sareen, a professor and head of the department of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba.

If mental health supports in this country were anything close to adequate, it would be a different conversation.

Good point - all things the CBC is solely responsible for.

However, I'm forced to award you 50 000 demerits for taking time away from fixing the climate and economy to write that comment. Do better.

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.

I would be astonished if anyone's talking about this by the time the next election rolls around.
