I wonder if "senior science officer" isn't actually a very prominent position - by this era of Starfleet, the Operations officer tends to fill this role.
I think the TNG Technical Manual explains that the Ops officer manages and allocates the ship's resources like sensors, while the actual scientists are presumably down in their labs rather than on the bridge.
If that's still the case, I wonder what a science officer on the bridge actually does.
"I left Mr. Brown's campaign completely of my own volition," she said in that statement.
"In no instance was I coerced in any manner, by anyone, at any time. I am an experienced parliamentarian, seasoned communicator, and former cabinet minister who has proven more than capable of developing senior grade positions entirely based on my own read of a situation … to suggest that I'm not is ridiculous."
This is specifically not a denial that interference was attempted.
And this...well...
"Preventing that division is why I've always taken into account the perspectives of many different Canadian interest groups and stakeholders before addressing issues that pertain to diaspora communities," she said.
I had no idea he'd actually auditioned for this role.
Maybe all you have to do is wave a light over it...
I've never been on opiods, so I guess that's not worth discussing, right?
Fair enough - I do think the article makes it clear who the "everyone" is in this case - provincial and federal leadership - but I totally get why you'd bristle at it.
Yeah, the article breezes by it, but Canada's ridiculous procurement efforts have been well-documented elsewhere.
Yeah, I don't think we actually disagree with much - I certainly agree with the priorities you listed.
However, I also think that defense is also a priority - one that is becoming increasingly urgent with the general state of the world and the unreliability of our closest ally, and that has been neglected for decades.
And I'm not sure I buy in to the idea that we have to choose amongst those priorities. That kind of rhetoric is used to justify all kinds of cuts.
Shh, the grownups are talking.
Sure, and I agree. Your point?
Unfortunately, I think the need for defense spending is increasingly clear these days, no?
I strongly object!
