    Instrumental considerations and personal preference alone can't settle the electoral reform question. What form of democratic representation we ought to use is a question of justice.

    Easy to imagine that experience giving him a little extra empathy for the Romulans' plight.

    Just remembered a funny thing about the background of the new Picard series: he knows *first hand* what it's like for one's entire civilization to be wiped out by the local star going all funny. It happened to him in "The Inner Light".

    Apparently nothing has been learned from Australia's experience. So interesting in a supposedly evidence based profession that so many ppl willing to throw evidence under the bus and support 2 tier healthcare.

    The stories of discrimination coming from Chinese Canadians are heartbreaking. This stigma is based on racism, not facts. Our medical professionals are working hard to keep us safe and fight . Let's not hurt our communities by turning on our friends and neighbours.

    Misuse of "refute" is much worse because it's almost always possible to tell what's really meant by "beg the question" given the context, whereas "refute" has become profoundly ambiguous.

    These folks are a walking reductio ad absurdum against the very idea of "gun rights". Absolutely astonishing that this kind of thing is legal.

    Pro-Brexit sentiment among Canadian conservatives must seem very odd if you think the dominant strand of conservatism supports free trade as a matter of principle.

    Am I enjoying Picard? Yes. Does it have some of the worst dialogue in the history of Star Trek? Also yes.
