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

  • Maybe. I'd be excited if it weren't for the ongoing Israel debacle.

  • I have no idea what to do with 16 upvotes but just one comment, but screw it, let's go for it. I'll put the post up on Sunday morning.

    Now let's not say things we can't take back...

  • Their skills as a writer really can't be questioned, but I don't think they really have any experience running a television show, which is a skill unto itself.

    But if partnered with someone with experience in the field...well, that could be pretty special.

  • Online, we say that about everything. But maybe!

  • That ship has decidely sailed, with both franchises on the space rocks at the moment.

  • Years without fluoridated water show pattern of tooth decay experts warned about

  • In many cases, it looks like a funding issue - it's admittedly a pretty huge expense to be handled at the municipal level.

    The various conspiracy theories are just icing on the cake.

  • If you're old enough, the original right-wing splinter party was the Reform Party (1987-2000).

  • Years without fluoridated water show pattern of tooth decay experts warned about

    Jump

  • The latest information published in 2022 shows 38.8 per cent of the country adds fluoride to municipal water, with little to no fluoride in New Brunswick, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, and British Columbia.

    I was absolutely floored by this.

    I see what you did there.

  • This is an Alberta Emergency Alert. The City of Edmonton is issuing a water supply alert.

  • Stay safe out there, Albertans.

  • Support for Lewis-led federal NDP moves ahead of Tories in some Winnipeg suburbs, poll reveals

    Jump

  • People don't talk about it much, but a significant chunk of the NDP base (~10%, if I remember correctly) jumped to the Conservatives, not the Liberals, in the last election. Some of these numbers might be them returning?

  • It's not a great comparison, really - the Manitoba Orange Team more strongly resembles the Federal Red Team in most respects.

    Winnipeg suburbs breaking NDP in a federal election is far from a sure thing.

  • Confusion spreads as Ottawa defends orders to surrender citizenship certificates

  • Fuck you, Carney.

    The expanded birthright citizenship rules were brought about as a result of a 2023 court ruling, very solidly in the Trudeau era.

    Jump

  • I only recently discovered this channel, but I find their economics-based energy and climate discussions pretty interesting.

    In this episode in particular, they talk a lot about what they think Carney is getting right in his approach to climate (though I wish they would have given more details), as well as something they think he might be getting very, very wrong.

  • Split Mode

  • I'm guessing this is hinting that they'll finally be restoring the Klingon War-era "trilogy" of "The Kuvah'Magh", "City on the Edge of Never", and "Past Imperfect".

    If true, it will be good to finally restore a lot of Leonard Nimoy's recorded dialogue.
