I don’t know if I agree with that assessment, but they do seem to have one writer who does nothing but write about how bad Carney is, and another who does nothing but write about how bad Freeland is.

From what I can tell, he would have to have acquired the citizenship fraudulently, and he didn’t.

There used to be a mechanism for the citizenship of people convicted of treason, spying, and terrorism offences to be revoked, but it was repealed in 2018.

I would like to think the rule of law still applies here.

That seems like a weird whatabout. How is your job related to how much funding the CBC gets?

In the end, funding the Ukraine-Russia war instead of promoting the peaceful settlement that was being negotiated between Ukraine and Russia in April 2022 has been a disaster for Ukraine and for Europe.

I either missed this, or is has been added to the article:

Audio recording from Pearson’s air traffic control tower shows that Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 was cleared to land shortly after 2 p.m. and that the tower warned the pilots of a possible air flow “bump” in the glide path from an aircraft in front of it, according to a report from The Canadian Press.

So wake turbulence could be a factor.

For a plane to completely go over like that, I would have to think it was significantly overspeed…

To say nothing of,

[Cindy] Blackstock said Canada has never provided supporting documentation for its claims of misuse, and that there is no evidence of how widespread the problem is.

I was able to find a couple of things I found interesting about Section 31, but I had to dig pretty deep to do it.

I don’t think there’s any question that it was well-liked by the fandom.

However, I used to check in with Parrot Analytics fairly frequently - they’re a site that purports to measure the overall “demand” of a series through a variety of means that I don’t fully understand…but the industry uses their metrics.

“Lower Decks” was typically the second-lowest “in demand” new series - only “Prodigy” had a lower score.

That said, the demand for all of the new series was categorized as “outstanding.”

I’ve seen a few episodes here and there. It’s charming, and doesn’t take itself too seriously (or, honestly, very seriously at all).

Time will tell on that one.

I think I read that Giamatti’s character has a connection to one of the leads, so I’m kind of hoping he’s someone’s Bad Dad.

That is not what this article is about.

Yeah, they announced the second season renewal very early - right around the time production on season one was starting.

Hopefully it’s a good sign.

The jacket looks really nice. It’s a shame it’s probably a crew thing.

I find the execution to be lackluster.

This is, to an extent, in the eye of the beholder, and I’m not inclined to argue too much about taste.

Except. Except.

the explanation of the Burn

I honestly think this is the most “Star Trek” thing the franchise has done in…decades. It feels like it was ripped straight out of TOS, and I absolutely adore it.

Agreed, though it seems unlikely that we’re going to get any more of it, sadly.

I have a lot of half-baked thoughts about how TNG was more of a product of its time than we realize.

Growing up in the late 80s - early 90s, a lot of us were taught that social injustice were issues of the past, and TNG reflected that perspective.

That…well, even at the time, we were being sold a false bill of goods, and it certainly isn’t the world we live in today.

Sure, I don’t think anything is absolute. But I think there’s a general impression that as the older fans literally die off, there aren’t enough younger ones to replace them, let alone expand the popularity of the franchise.

I’m struggling to find it now, but I read a Jonathan Frakes interview last year (I think) where he expressed a similar sentiment.

Basically, he said that the fans that he sees at conventions are getting noticably older, and there aren’t as many younger people joining the fold.

I think the current approach is the correct one, even if it produces a few misses here and there.

A variety of tonally distinct projects, aimed at different demographics, telling stories.
