In the short term, I think Carney is prioritizing "re-industrializing" the country over certain environmental protections.

I certainly have hope that the worst effects will be mitigated by things like what you're describing, but...I'm just not sure.

I tend to think that most deadlines will be missed, and most budgets will be overrun...the only question is degree.

The Terran Empire is too good for Kevin O'Leary.

I'm probably projecting, but I hope people realize that Trudeau did at much as he could without reopening the Constitution, which is a non-starter.

I have a feeling it's neither enough for the reformists, nor enough for the abolitionists, so it's just kind of ignored.

It's one of those things that's simultaneously pretty important and not important at all. Their role in Parliament is ceremonial, but they're still something of a dignitary.

Fun!

Star Trek IV is a bit of a left-field choice, but I'm not mad about it.

The judge's statements are appropriately scathing.

Justice Conlan said he commends the work of the defence and the Crown in this case.

He said it is not the defence's fault "the evidence of their clients has been found to be worthless."

All in all, he said, the Crown proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt on every count.

He said electronic evidence "points overwhelmingly to the guilt of the accused."

He wrote they "paint a picture of loathe and hate by both accused towards the boys, especially towards L."

The judge said a Dec. 28, 2020, audio recording played in court of the women berating L.L. was "so difficult to listen to," and "is just a terrible and shocking exhibit of abuse of L. by these accused."

He said a Sept. 24, 2021, video the court viewed of L.L. using a small portable toilet to relieve himself was "excruciating to watch."

"This court could go on and on, but for what purpose other than to, in a way, continue to victimize L. He should be remembered for more than this."

I’m sure there’s a pitch to studios that could work, but

That's pretty much where I'm at. Is it something I think I desperately need? Not by a long shot.

Could they do something interesting with it? Sure, I guess.

They announced the show would be ending, but gave it another season. That's the opposite of a sunk cost, but thanks for showing your whole ass.
