Totally fair. And like I said, the convention is already messed up, so anything's possible really.

Jennifer says she is being transferred to the USS Manitoba, which from the name might be a Parliament-class starship (the others we know of being Toronto and Vancouver).

In theory, that would break the banking convention - a Parliament class ship should be the Winnipeg in order to maintain it.

Maybe there's a Provincial class?

Edit: I should add the the banking convention was arguably broken from day one, since the legislative seat of BC is Victoria, not Vancouver.

What did everyone think? I slipped into a fugue state when I saw actual Gallamites.

I doubt it. It sounds more like garden-variety bureaucratic incompetence to me, which is not exclusive to the public sector.

Aside from the obvious space angle, it seems more like a "Suicide Squad" vibe to me, which makes a little more sense, I think.

Their marketing tone is not what I expected at all, but I'm still interested in what the heck this thing will be.

I just want a sense of what the actual story is.

It didn't actually occur to me that that would be considered clickbait. I suppose it's a local thing.

Yes, I strongly encourage people to curate their own experience.

 

"I have asked the security services to figure out a way to give some information to the leader of the Opposition so that he can actually fulfil his responsibility of protecting Canadians, including those within his own caucus," Trudeau said during question period Wednesday.

"It would be easier if he got his security clearance, but I've asked them to give him some information nonetheless."

Anyone who wants to spool up an alt on a defederated server is welcome to do so. We suck at totalitarianism.

 

The province conducted 26,321 CT scans at facilities across Manitoba in August of this year, a 3.3 per cent increase from the 25,470 cases performed the prior August, according to provincial data.

[Progressive Conservative health critic Kathleen] Cook called that a "marginal increase" that "does not justify the huge jumps in CT scan wait times," she said in an interview Tuesday.

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

When it comes to the overlapping shows, it might be better to frame things around events rather than series. Like, Dominion War, Romulan Evacuation, etc. But then, there are still some gaps in there, or unrelated adventures that aren't really defined by those major events.

The concept of a Starfleet magazine is super interesting - I wonder what it takes for information to get cleared for publication.

That's one way to spin it, but another is that they're elevating a particular Orion house back into prominence immediately after they were stripped of their wealth by their government, which should most certainly be considered interfering with internal affairs, no?
