Royal baby is good news. Medical advances are good news. Justice is good news. Methinks you doth protest too much.

In all likelyhood, with the next piece of not so newsworthy UK election results later this week, with the sad news Labour rules Britannia You'll have folks [like rats] by the millions deserting the sinking ship - or will they?

I was once stopped on the street by a news crew to give my two pence on an Apple product launch for CityTV. Sadly they edited all the decent content and then trimmed a sentence down so I had an out of context answer.

PM me if you want me to send my autograph.

Someone else's baby, however royal, is never news.

Medical advances will always be expected to result in actual progress "within 10 years". Not news.

Justice might be good news but I've never heard of it on the News.

that's why we have Rogers, Shaw & Cogeco cable operators or XMBC/KODI

The latest 20 seconds of anything trivial or not so newsworthy can be found on the BE forums... 20 seconds is all it takes, no drama, no commercials

Perhaps surprisingly, I can understand what you're getting at.

But what I find very rankling is the pretence that anything done in Canada or by Canada as a nation has any conceivable interest to anyone at all.

As an international institute, probably not that many. However at the same institute in another universe, it's chock full of Canucks.

Nicely put. A pity that Blackberries don't grow in many universes.
