It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.

I think that's pretty universal, and it's been the case for decades.

It's the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that's under provincial jurisdiction...

Honestly, I'd take this with a small grain of salt.

I don't doubt Variety's reporting, but this amounts to a bullet point in a larger article, and while I'm sure they've "moved on" from whatever they had cooking, I think it's also possible that they could develop another project with that crew, if they have a script that they like well enough.

We'll see what happens - it's been years of them being unable to get a project going, and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

I don't think it's that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.

The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don't think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.

You know, yet.

 

The longtime Conservative, who served in provincial politics before being elected to the House of Commons in 2019, said Canada's challenges demand people lead "not with complaint" — a thinly veiled swipe at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre — "but with confidence in a strong future."

I wonder is Lear ever tried to meet up with her Noonien Singh relatives?

With Tuvok's comment about using his position to advocate for augments, I wonder if they're considering a Tim Russ/Christina Chong spinoff.

I think I agree with your overall sentiment - not the greatest thing I've ever heard, but I'm glad they made it.

The highlights for me were the semi-rehabilitation of McGivers, and the fleshing out of Khan's ~~cult~~ followers. And I'm glad they didn't go down the "Khan wasn't so bad" road, instead going with, "Khan was a pretty bad guy who maybe could have turned it around under different circumstances," which...is a pretty Star Trek message, even if it's not one I was very interested in exploring.

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

"As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we've reached the breaking point.
