Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

Some wonder where the money wentEnglish21·16 hours agoI don’t think that sort of arrangement is all that unusual - deposits are generally used to gauge interest, in addition to funding the project. And they appear to have had CFL backing.
Where they got sketchy is the apparent lack of an automatic refund process.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteMto Manitoba@lemmy.ca•Kinew says cabinet minister who complained about sign-language interpreter will stayEnglish3·18 hours agoI’ve started and stopped trying to put together a reply to this several times, and I’m not really any closer to anything coherent.
The bottom line is that I have historically liked Fontaine as an MLA. I think her concern - obstructed sightlines from the stage - is understandable.
But I can’t fathom expressing those frustrations in that manner. There’s really no excuse. Whether that’s worth a resignation…I don’t know. I wouldn’t be mad if she stepped down, but I’m also not necessarily mad that she hasn’t. I guess time will tell whether she learned anything.

There are so many other purposes.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPMto Doctor Who Social Club@startrek.website•Retrospective Discussion | Doctor Who (2005) | 1x05 "World War Three"English2·2 days agoFaint praise, but this one’s a lot better than the first part of the story. The “farting” aspect of the farting aliens is significantly downplayed in favour of things that are actually interesting.
The emotional core of the story is the Doctor and Rose each coming to terms with how dangerous life with the Doctor is, and the effects it can have. I’d forgotten that Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North comments on how flippant Rose is about death, even at this early stage (too early?) of the series.
There are plot contrivances all over the place - the UK’s nuclear codes are controlled by the UN! You can hack the Royal Navy’s submarines and launch missiles from your home PC! But I’m pretty forgiving of stuff like that, as long as the emotional core of the episode is solid.

I…don’t disagree. Even by Doctor Who standards, Thirteen’s dialogue tended to fly by pretty quickly.

Bold of the Bombers to start their bye a week early. Basically a disaster from top to bottom, though their one TD was pretty cool.
Calgary really brought it, they’re one to keep an eye on in the West.
The on-field graphics were glitchy and distracting.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa removes all federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade AgreementEnglish141·7 days agoThroughout the spring federal election campaign, Mark Carney as Liberal leader repeatedly vowed to “eliminate” interprovincial trade barriers and create “free trade by Canada Day.”
But Canada’s internal trade barriers won’t all be eliminated by then — not even all the federal ones.
Canada’s supply management system for dairy products, which sets provincial production quotas, will remain. Quebec also has language requirements that will stay in place.

I absolutely agree that it should be minimized, though.
It’s such a shame, too - I really want the Schooners to exist.
