I’m supposed to keep these little blurbs about Montréal 2027 Worldcon short. Here’s short: give me one word that expresses why you are involved in science fiction or fantasy.

Some things get better with time. Sometimes the sequel does surpass the original. What are you looking for in a convention that would make Montréal 2027 Worldcon the best Worldcon ever? (Bonus points if you know, without looking it up, when the first Worldcon was.)

One cannot live on Sci-fi alone. So, my good deed for the day: Mom’s Biscuits 2 C flour, 1 tbs baking powder, 1 tsp salt. Mix and add ¾ C milk and ¼ vege oil. Stir till combined. Roll out and cut. Bake at 425F for 12 minutes or till golden. Now you know.

We salute all the talented Canadian authors who are nominated this year for the Aurora Awards! www.csffa.ca/awards-infor...

Rewatching A New Hope tonight, and being swept up, once again, by the mix of action, comedy, science fiction, and humanity. The pacing is terrific, the story, timeless; and the music…can’t beat John Williams. What’s your comfort movie? Maybe you can find a new one at Montréal 2027 Worldcon.

We welcome back the crew of the Artemis II mission as they splashed down this afternoon in the Pacific. We'd like to especially celebrate Jeremy Hanson, the first Canadian to be part of a lunar mission! www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/multimed...

My introduction to Jo Walton’s work was TOOTH AND CLAW. Haven’t read it? It takes the social mores of Victorian England and expands them, delightfully, to dragons. Had me hooked by the end of the second page. And she is a guest of honor at Montréal 2027 Worldcon! Can’t wait!
