Ottawa updates advisory for travellers to U.S., noting visitors must register for longer stays

  • "There will be no taxes on Canadian consumers, no taxes on Canadian industries," Poilievre said on Monday at a news conference in L'Orignal, Ont.

    At the same time, Poilievre said "provinces will continue to have the freedom to address" industrial emissions "how they like."

    It seems almost laughably easy to use this to make him look weak and spineless?

  • There's also a spaceship on the show, which I think, I hope that's not a fucking secret. I have been known—I’ve had a bad experience with oversharing, and I hope that wasn't an overshare, but it's fabulous.

    I think Frakes is in the clear here - this tracks with Becky Lynch's announcement that she would be part of the "bridge crew."

  • STAR TREK: RED SHIRTS, kicking off in July, is the start of an all-new heartrending Star Trek five-issue miniseries by writer Christopher Cantwell (Star Trek: Defiant) and artist Megan Levens (Star Trek), featuring Starfleet's most intrepid and doomed crewmembers: red shirts. Now, finally, they get their own story.

    Led by an experienced officer embedded on the snow-ridden planet Arkonia 89, the crew of the U.S.S. Warren has a small window in which to pin down spies seeking to steal classified secrets and keep Starfleet data out of their nefarious hands.

    They face threats not only from their faceless enemies but from the brutalizing elements and wildlife of a planet far from home. The red shirts’ lives and Starfleet's sanctity are on the line…and no one is safe.


    Then, launching in August, is the five-issue limited series STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - THE SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION from writer Robbie Thompson and artist Travis Mercer.

    It's classic adventure tale with plenty of twists and turns as the crew explore an ice-covered planet and the scary secrets that are lurking deep beneath the surface.... Featuring beloved characters First Officer Una Chin-Riley, Security Officer La'An Noonien-Singh, Science Officer Spock, and Nurse Christine Chapel - plus, a new adorable robot sidekick named D6!


    2025 continues the 30th anniversary celebration of the fan-favorite series Star Trek: Voyager with the STAR TREK: VOYAGER - HOMECOMING, a five-issue limited series launching this September, from co-writers Tilly and Susan Bridges and artist Angel Hernandez.

    Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager are back for one final mission before they head home. The limited comic series aims to offer the final resolution that fans have been waiting decades to witness.

    This story picks up just moments after the final shot of the series! The final shot of the Emmy award-winning series featured the iconic ship approaching Earth before the screen goes dark... But what if just moments after that, there was one last emergency?

  • I just revisited the scene from "Red Directive" in which Burnham is riding on the top of Moll and L'ak's ship - at the end of the sequence, she leaps from the ship's hull as the warp field collapses. When she and the ship enter "normal" space, they both seem fairly stationary. Burnham is tumbling a bit in her EV suit, but she doesn't seem to have a lot of velocity.

  • I think we've seen enough to safely say it would fall out of FTL in fairly short order.

    I don't think we've seen enough to say exactly what its sublight velocity would be - no examples are coming to mind.

    Edit: as is often the case when the warp drive comes up, its worth pointing out that ships at warp pretty definitely have momentum/inertia.

  • Ultimately, they're probably better off avoiding poking the bear, and simply working to freeze the US out of the international scene moving forward.

  • Not exactly what you're looking for, but Palliser Furniture is based in Winnipeg and unfortunately doesn't sell direct online, but their site has a list of retailers in the GTA.

  • Why did it take the government so long to figure it out?

    If you mean the Canadian government, it probably has to do with the multiple of false justifications that have been provided so far.

  • “Tariffs are now a global policy of the United States,” said David Paterson, Ontario’s representative in Washington. “And this is a historic change to global trading patterns, and [the Americans are] very aware of that.”

    Paterson said the American plan is to impose tariffs by sector across countries all around the world on April 2. From there, the countries that get along with the U.S. the best will be “first in line” to adjust or mitigate the tariffs.

    [Ambassador Kirsten] Hillman described the meeting as “concrete” and appreciated the conversations, but she noted that nothing changed in terms of the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S.

  • I don't actually have an answer to this (and tbh, I rarely see embedded videos on Lemmy), but I'm going to ask around.

  • This is certainly a political trait, but perhaps more importantly, it's a human one.

    Immediate gratification feels better than distant gratification. Avoiding something bad never feels as good as getting something good.

    I don't know what the solution is. Education, I guess? The population at large needs to fully understand the nature of the threats, and the consequences of failure.

  • I think it might be asbestos-free now - they've spent the last few years gutting the place.

    But yeah, I don't think I'd support tearing it down, despite the fact that the house itself supposedly isn't considered architecturally significant.

  • I think it might be time to move on from the property and build something new - 24 Sussex is old, decrepit, and not really suitable for the task. It's just an old house.

    Preserve 24 Sussex and turn it into a museum or something, but build an official residence that actually meets modern requirements.

  • Property owners would have their existing controls voided, unless they register them within six months after the amendment passes, according to a explanatory note on the bill shared by the government.

    When asked by reporters if the option for property owners to protect their existing clauses would defeat the purpose of the bill, Sandhu said the province also wants to make sure the rights of property owners are respected.

    "We are giving them the chance to adjust," he said.

    Under the bill a person can begin the review of a property control, which can be referred to a municipal board if the province determines the prohibition is contrary to the public interest.

  • Sounds great - it's sort of our "not directly about Star Trek, but maybe the people who like this instance would be interested" community.
