It's interesting how quickly multiverse stuff became a tired trope in current genre TV/film.

Lower Decks being what it is, I suspect it will be a one-off gag.

To commemorate Star Trek Day, I thought we could share our entry points to the franchise. I expect we'll find the full range of experiences.

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

The short answer is that no such test has ever been produced, and the boxing association that claimed they had done one never revealed the precise results, or even which lab had supposedly done the test, and has since been decertified for corruption.

Hey, we have checks and balances in place.

The Senate is occupied by two railroads.

That trailer seems pretty insistent that this isn't the end...

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.

I've got to say, the CBC seems to have a really strong news team in NS. I see a lot of good work coming from that bureau.

To be fair, it's kind of challenging when you're supposed to wait six months following your last COVID infection...

It’s worth noting that Bibic has a history of threatening to pull investments whenever the government does something he doesn’t like. Earlier this year, Bibic suggested there would be “unintended consequences” if the government and CRTC pushed more regulations on the big telecom companies, and Bell joined other telcos in threatening investments over a wholesale ruling in 2019.

The only real argument is "it's too expensive," so no.

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