Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.

Oh.

And look at that, the site's editor has been published in...

-The Epoch Times (19 times!)

-The Financial Post (4 times)

-The Vancouver Sun (twice)

-The Western Standard

And other publications that I'm sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.

"I provided a specific list of demands the next prime minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis," Smith said in a statement Thursday after a morning meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Alberta capital.

So it's extortion, then.

More of a set of bullet points than an actual "plan."

Financial incentives, not penalties, to help consumers afford things like more energy efficient appliances, electric cars, and better home insulation.

Great - details, please. What kind of incentives, and at what stage of the buying process will they be applied?

Canada’s biggest emitters will contribute their fair share

Does this mean the existing carbon tax on industry will remain in place, or...something else?

Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.

Meaninglessly vague without details.

Ensuring fairness for Canadian industries on the global stage, and better integrate with allies in the fight against climate change.

Word salad.

The Technical Manual explanation is not that replicators create matter out of pure energy - they are a type of transporter that dematerializes raw material and rematerializes it to match a molecular pattern. They are "matter-energy converters" only in the sense that the stream of particles during the materialization process could be called an energy stream.

These replicator system headends are located on Deck 12 in the Saucer Module [of the Enterprise-D] and on Deck 34 in the Engineering Section. These systems operate by using a phase-transition coil chamber in which a measured quantity of raw material is dematerialized in a manner similar to that of a standard transporter.

Instead of using a molecular imaging scanner to determine the patterns of the raw stock, however, a quantum geometry transformational matrix field is used to modify the matter stream to conform to a digitally stored molecular pattern matrix. The matter stream is then routed through a network of waveguide conduits that direct the signal to a replicator terminal at which the desired article is materialized within another phase transition chamber.

I'm glad the CBC is revisiting the story now that they have the other side.

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.

look, I'm not here to kink shame you

They announced a live-action reboot yesterday, but I'm guessing it'll have a different cast.

The instance sidebar has a fairly concise description of each community hosted here.

I really don't think the inclusion of Kirk should be considered a "gimmick". There was no stunt-casting, nor were the episodes in which he appeared particularly gimmicky (well, okay, "Subspace Rhapsody" was a gimmick episode, but in a way that wasn't structured around Kirk specifically).

Like it or hate it, it's clear to me that the producers are including Kirk because they think it's worth exploring the character at this point in his career. I wouldn't call that a gimmick.

Even if Paramount+ collapses, "Star Trek" as a franchise will be fine. They'll just revert to the more traditional model of producing shows and selling them to someone else to distribute.

I'm not sure the currently in-production shows would survive that sort of shift, but the franchise would boldly go on.
