The folks at Winnipeg Sports Talk had a somewhat (okay, much) more cynical take, largely based on the fact that Maurice has participated in handshake lines as recently as last year, is known for being good in front of the media, and managed to talk about how this is all about the players for a solid two minutes.

Their take, not mine. I've got a lot of affection for PoMo, but admittedly that is precisely because he's so good in front of a microphone.

Edit: Timestamp of the conversation.

Captain or no, I don't think there's any evidence that he had any knowledge of what was going on, is there?

Chevy is much more heavily implicated in that mess, even though he was found to have been "not responsible for the improper decisions made by the Chicago Blackhawks".

I think that's the general idea according to CentrePlan 2050, but I'm also a little unclear as to whether the entire stretch will be pedestrians/active transportation-only.

I haven't been a regular transit user for a long time, but I hope this transition goes smoothly. Large-scale changes rarely do...

The tauntaun has left the nest.

 

David wrote many, many Trek novels and comics, including the New Frontier series.

I think the word "shuttle" could plausibly be applied to long-range, low-capacity transports - maybe even something as large as the USS Raven.

Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore?

I just assume they've fixed that issue.

That's what I thought - just wanted to be clear!

According to most calculators I can see online, we're looking at about a month at warp 5, or around 15 days at warp 6. I think a traditional "shuttle" wouldn't be up to the task - you'd want a vessel with bunks and space to walk around, at the very least.

I don't think this is exactly what you meant, but it's worth pointing out that this is the first unionized contract in the VFX industry, specifically - hopefully more will follow.
