Calgary woman whose MAID access currently blocked by courts now starving herself to death
  • Imagine being in a state so extreme (for whatever reason) that you feel the need to die, and in that state finding you have to deal with the court system. What a nightmare on top of a nightmare. I feel for all parties in this situation. Sometimes all options just painfully and intolerably suck.

    'Nobody can believe it': Stouffville residents outraged by plan to replace garden with tank in Memorial Park
  • There's many ways to memorialize. Personally I find the the giant metal hunk of killing and destroying machine in a park context offensive, aesthetically as well as ideologically. But others may take a different view of course.

    Looking for conventional ship and crew adventures that aren't tied to a franchise
  • Yeah, most Cherryh is not ship-and-crew in the sense you are talking about (though I loved the duct-tape feel of the ships in Heavy Time, iirc). Rimrunners might be the closest to what you are looking for though. And yep, it is Union-Alliance. For Cherryh, I guess maybe The Pride of Chanur would be ship-and-crew adventure? I can't quite remember as it was long, long, long ago I read that stuff -- who knows how well its aged. It's cover doesn't look super compelling to me these days. So I'm not recommending it. Ha ha.
