I always kind of liked the Kelvin Klingons.

Well, the makeup, anyway. I don't care for the costumes at all.

I think the cranium size was the biggest "miss" in the design - I quite liked the season two iteration of the same basic ideas.

I certainly agree that it needs government oversight and attention. A ministry, though...I'm not convinced, and inclined to think the worst when "we'll use AI to fix the government" was a consistent taking point during the campaign.

But it was rightly pointed out that AI is only part of the name. I'd just as soon it not be there, but we'll see what happens.

Former journalist Evan Solomon takes on a newly created role as minister of artificial intelligence.

Ugh.

It was a BQ riding, not CPC.

July 1 is his self-established deadline.

There's absolutely no reason to think any show is being made "instead of" another.

Edit: And as Newsome herself stated, this series has not been greenlit. It may not get made at all.

I don’t think you needed [sic]

Just wanted to make sure - I stumbled over that sentence when reading it!

It's pretty hard to make the case that we "need" any work of fiction.

 

The prime minister was asked if he’ll pursue a governing pact with the NDP. “No,” he said.

And why not, the reporter asked.

“Why?” Carney retorted.

The PM said the Liberals campaigned on a clear set of objectives, and while they didn’t quite get a majority, “we will be putting forth legislation that’s consistent with our platform.”

 

Carney said a byelection should be held as quickly as possible to give Poilievre an opportunity to win a seat in the House of Commons, if that’s what the Conservative Party wants.

Poilievre lost his seat in Ottawa's Carleton riding on Monday after holding it for more than 20 years, so he's in the unusual position of being a party leader without a seat.

"I already told Mr. Poilievre that I will trigger a byelection if that is the decision of the Conservative Party," he said in French.

Then, in English: "I will ensure that it happens as soon as possible. No games, nothing."

 

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, spoke with the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

President Trump congratulated Prime Minister Carney on his recent election. The leaders agreed on the importance of Canada and the United States working together – as independent, sovereign nations – for their mutual betterment. To that end, the leaders agreed to meet in person in the near future.

 

Interesting choice for first official phone call.
