SERVALAN: The secret of Star One's location is of no use to a criminal like Krantor. However, that knowledge can bring about his death. Not only that. With any luck the Federation will be finally convinced, as I have argued for years, that we can no longer tolerate this pestilential rathole so close to our own territories. Freedom City will be finally burnt out.

I don't get the #matrix hate on Fedi. Apparently federation is only desirable as long as the government doesn't use it?

While listening to discussions about federated systems and protocols at #fosdem (like the one I’m currently using): I realized something.

Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBirthday to the Honourable Cairine Reay Mackay Wilson who the first woman to be appointed to the Senate in Canada. Her appointment in 1930 marked the end of an era during which women in Canada were denied civil rights. Born in Montréal on February 4, 1885, into a wealthy Scottish-Canadian family, Cairine Reay Mackay married Norman F. Wilson, the Liberal Member of Parliament for Russell, Ontario, in 1909. In 1919, the Wilson family moved to Ottawa, where Mrs. Wilson soon became heavily involved in politics. Her privileged background did not stop her from publicly denouncing appeasement of Hitler, defying her own government to bring in #WWII Jewish refugees, or a lifetime commitment to child poverty and refugees. And she had time to fight for women's rights to be in government by founding the National Federation of Liberal Women of Canada in 1928 and the Twentieth Century Liberal Association in 1930.
