I'm beginning to think the women's team should withdraw from the Olympics simply to save face.

And it's definitely time to clean house at Canada Soccer.

Canada Soccer CEO and general secretary Kevin Blue said in the COC release announcing Priestman's removal that "additional information has come to our attention regarding previous drone use against opponents, predating the Paris 2024 Olympic Games."

This is a case of Fun With Commas - Sobeys is owned by a different obscene conglomerate, Empire Company.

Metro, Walmart, Giant Tiger, and Empire are the co-conspirators along with the Weston companies.

Of course, his presence there would have basically made the whole season pointless

I think that's probably why they tucked him into season two instead. I'm guessing they wanted him to appear in a way that wouldn't break the story, and that was easier to do in the time travel caper.

You're right, though - it was a big missed opportunity to reunite him with the cast, and even the set, of the old show.

Well, that's embarassing. I'm a little surprised they don't just disqualify the team and get on with it.

The image is hosted on imgur - could your instance be blocking it somehow?

Yeah, Crave won the first round of the Canadian streaming wars, and Shomi was shut down.

I think it goes without saying - or it should - that watching it through official channels is better for the longevity of the show, if that's an option where you live.

not sure why they’re dropping the ball on this one.

My best guess is that the season 1 ratings on the CTV Sci-Fi channel weren't great, and despite being a massive media conglomerate, they don't really have a "kids' channel" to put it on instead.

There has been no official announcement regarding the launch of season 2 of Prodigy in Canada on CTV or any other platform, including Netflix and Paramount+.

This isn't entirely true. Prodigy-related news releases on startrek.com used to say that the series would be available on CTV.ca and the CTV app - that language disappeared around June.

At this point, I think CTV simply isn't going to release it, despite being the sole license holder

Assuming you're in the Netherlands, season 1 is apparently available on SkyShowtime, with season 2 "coming soon."

It occurs to me that they're referring to the headline, which...yeah, okay.
