Sadly, we've lost another member of the Star Trek family. Rest in peace, Michael Forest.

On this day in 2017, Gord Downie died.
Born in 1964, he was the singer and lyricist for The Tragically Hip from 1984 until his death.
Considered a Canadian icon, he was involved in environmental and Indigenous activism later in life.

ALT Gord Downie in a recording studio setting. Downie, bald with a trimmed beard, gazes thoughtfully at the camera while seated and playing an acoustic guitar, his hands on the fretboard and strings. He wears a light-colored T-shirt under a fringed denim jacket, with a large condenser microphone on a stand positioned in front of him. The background features a blurred array of studio equipment, cables, and draped fabrics

Danielle Smith will be remembered as a separatist enabler, a broken toy without willpower, conviction or conscience, concerned only with holding an office she has no business occupying.
She also has a bad side.

After cutting Ukraine’s Starlink so they can’t defend themselves against Russian missiles is the best reasons why Canada needs to cut ties with Starlink. Musk also used Starlink to meddle in the last U.S. election. He’s abusing his power and Canada needs to pull his power plug.
- Mark Carney tells the New York Times he’s actively trying to end Canada’s dependency on Starlink, the only U.S. company he mentions by name.
- A week later, Elon Musk advocates for Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan separation in some replies on X.
- A week after that, Canadian government seemingly changes Chinese EV import rules to limit Tesla. 🍿

Conservatives have been in power for 51 of the last 55 years in Alberta, but of course, everything that is wrong with Alberta is the NDP's fault.

It appears that Starlink was cut to Ukraine in coordination with the Russian military, and in such a way to maximize the death of innocent civilians.
If democracy returns to the United States, deal with your war criminals.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are helping Vladimir Putin kill Ukrainians. Remember that when you vote in November.
Cutting off Starlink is a warning about our F35 purchase. We need a platform that is immune to the whims of our southern neighbours. Gripens now.
NEW: Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials and troops tell @FT.
