It's official: Port Alberni hosting Sir Wilfrid Laurier Canadian Coast Guard ship for her refit over the next few months.

Canadian Maritime Engineering is doing the work.

It’ll be fun to see her get all spified up! My wife and her family attended the christening and launch of the ship in the 1990s in Collingwood, ON. It was the final ship to be launched from that yard.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a famous/infamous/beloved/emotional/shocking/hated/etc moment in a work that just didn't do anything for you? Not that you hated something universally beloved or weren't shocked because you saw it coming or anything, just that it didn't do it for you, you didn't feel anything about it, you might have not expected a shocking moment but you didn't feel particularly moved by it, etc

It has to be something that popular consensus seems to be is a BIG DEAL but to you just isn't

Use spoiler tags if needed. Mention the work and moment. Include why it didn't work for you if you want to.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a type of protagonist/hero you just absolutely can't stand and is more than likely to make you nope out of a story (either right at the beginning or eventually because you just can't stand them)?

#QuestionOfTheDay what's something that's actually good/fun/enjoyable that you have trouble recommending to people who would like it EXCEPT for one part at or near the beginning that you know would present a huge turnoff and give the impression to them that the rest is like that too. You can include spoiler warnings if you need to.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a misleading ad, trailer, opening of a video game, promotional material, cover art, opening credit sequence, etc that made you legitimately annoyed/angry/turned you off from continuing the show/game/etc
