One of my top favorite scenes from #Babylon5 is G'kar's Swedish Meatballs
"Every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs. I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never get explained or which will drive you mad if you ever learned the truth."

Second Sons Canada is a growing Canadian ‘nationalist’ men’s club, but its sanitized official posts mask pro-Nazi, racist and violent statements made by its leaders.

A voluntary code of conduct for the grocery industry is a joke. With a national monopoly, a history of price fixing and gouging, family grocery bills already too high, and slated to rise by $1000 next year, concrete action is needed, not a wish list. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...
The grocery code of conduct will take effect Jan. 1. Here’s what this means for Canadian shoppers
Canada’s long-debated grocery code of conduct, designed to make the food supply chain fairer and more transparent, is finally taking shape after years of development and industry negotiations.

Alberta has passed Bill 11: two-tier health care letting doctors charge unlimited fees at private clinics.
Other provinces may follow.

So the UCP knew that the sole sourced contract to a company with multiple previous government employees was sketchy and questionable…
And they went ahead with it anyway.

You know what Star Trek show we need? The Ferengi cop show Boimler was watching. Just picture it. Fully fleshed out fictional fiction where Trek canon doesn’t matter because it’s written and produced by the Ferengi. It could be (to us viewers) an allegory of how bad materialism and greed are
