Oh, Canada (in canon)!

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Since Discovery and Strange New Worlds are being filmed in Canada, I think we could use a little more of my home country in Trek.

Here's what canon and apocrypha have so far, for reference: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Canada

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I always wondered how Toronto City Hall wound up as one of the destinations for the Iconian gateway in "Contagion".

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Perhaps it reminded them of some Iconian architecture style from the past?

You have that guy Lavelle.

[Hemmer]Just like Alaska[/Hemmer)

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

It's a start.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

You have that guy Lavelle.

And Eddington.

On second thought...best to forget him.

 

[Tosk]

You have that guy Lavelle.

Lavelle wasn't even from Canada. And neither were his parents.

 

[Finn]

Damn. I forgot he was talking about his grandfather.

 

[JesterFace]

Remember how one of the officers hunting a promotion in 'Lower Decks' tried to impress Riker by saying his grandfather was from Canada until Riker said he's from Alaska....

EDIT - what, I wrote my message while the conversation above happened?

[The Wormhole]

Incidentally, in the novels, the very first Borg drone ever was a Canadian MACO.

Picard would have been ordering donuts from Tim Hortons instead of Earl Grey, HOT

And a double double.

 

[XCV330]

I like to think the Bozeman camp in FC thought they were being bombarded by Canada. (as recompense for playing Oobie Doobie so loud you could hear it across the border)

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

And a double double.

Hmm. If an In-n-Out and a Tim Hortons were under the same roof, you could wash your double double down with a cup of double double.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Seriously, though, folks, I was expressing my wish for a Canadian main character, Canada jokes aside. Or Canada references.

I've thought the Credit would be a good name for a runabout.

By 1700 the Ojibwa, an Algonkian tribe, had driven the Iroquois from the North Shore of Lake Ontario, and a group of Ojibwa, known as the Mississaugas, had settled around the mouth of the Credit River. The Mississaugas themselves referred to the river as “Missinihe” or “Trusting Water”, but the river came to be known as the Credit River, a name derived from the custom of trading on credit.

Derived from a river named after cooperation between two people groups. What could be more Trek than that? (It runs through my hometown, Mississauga.)

I suppose the USS Missinihe would be nice, too, if a tongue twister.

Large double double

Wouldn't need to specify hot as Timmy ho's is always scalding

 

[publiusr]

Such a Strange Brew…

"Donut. Honey Glazed. Fresh."
