outside Canada they need to be better promoted as Canadian.

Interesting - what do you see as the benefit to that? I'm not disagreeing, but I hadn't really considered it before.

One thing that needs to happen is the Conservative traitors to stop lying about and maligning the CBC.

Big yup.

The Nova Squadron cadets are practicing a maneuver called the Boothby Supernova, named for the venerable Starfleet Academy groundskeeper, who perished in such a maneuver, as per “In the Flesh”.

To shreds, you say.

I think something like that is happening - available rooms are being prioritized for evacuees with medical or accessibility needs, as the article says.

"I ask all levels of government, please come together, work together, ask that these hotels and these accommodations make space for our people. We are in a state of emergency, you can give that directive."

I find this a little confusing - are they to "ask" the hotels to make space, or are they to "direct" them? Those are two very different things.

And if it's the latter...is there a legal way to do so? This is an honest question, I have no idea what the answer is.

Thanks - I find the "reformed" Senate fascinating.

Perhaps "urban" is the wrong word, but it ain't exactly Cestus III, y'know?

As someone who's not familiar with the LA area, it blows my mind that those things are basically in the middle of an urban area.

Thank you for sharing - we appreciate any and all first-person accounts of events!

I have to admit, when they first announced the Fan Fest Nights, my initial reaction was that it sounded like it would be kind of cheap and disappointing. But it seems like they did a really nice job of the Trek event, along with some of the others that I've read about (especially Back to the Future).

 

The warning to Singh, first reported by the Toronto Star, came nearly a year before former prime minister Justin Trudeau claimed Canada had evidence linking Indian agents to the killing of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Singh, who is also Sikh, told reporters the RCMP did not specify who was behind the death threat "but the implication was a foreign government."
