There's a movement to make Captain Kirk the Queen's representative in Canada!

Yeah I heard about this one.

Why not? The last two governor generals are recycled CBC journalists... and one was also supposedly a French citizen...

America had Ronald Reagan, who was once an actor, why not have Captain Kirk in an "important" position in Canada?

Captain Kirk would become Comander in Chief of the Canadian Military and have the power to dissolve Parliament, meet with foreign diplomats and heads of state, live in a fancy mansion and wear a funny looking uniform.

Quite the reins in the hands of a Shatner syndrome case.

quite out of the question - it would be contrary to Star Fleet Regulation 496 sub pararagraph B - '.. no star fleet officer shall meddle in the affairs of pre-warp civilisations...'.

Like Kirk ever paid attention to that particular bit of the regulations ...

We can get pretty warped up here when we want to be.
