31 – A deal was reached for a consortium to buy the Hudson Bay Railway and repair the only land link to the northern Manitoba community of Churchill. The community had been forced to fly in food and fuel since the rail line was damaged by flooding in May 2017 and Denver-based owner Omnitrax said it could not afford repairs. The Arctic Gateway Group consortium included several northern communities, Fairfax Financial Holdings and AGT Food and Ingredients. The federal government had earlier committed $74 million to help repair the rail line and $43 million over 10 years to subsidize railway operations.

One movie that I had decided to watch using the X12 was the recent big-budget science-fiction movie ‘Ready Player One,’ Steven Spielberg’s wild opus about virtual reality. ‘Ready Player One’ features many bass-heavy set pieces such as King Kong chasing the ‘Back to the Future’ Delorean through Manhattan, a giant naked lady attempting to kill the protagonists with an over-sized axe through the Overlook Hotel hedge maze from ‘The Shining,’ and a massive battle between the Iron Giant and Mechagodzilla in the movie’s frenetic finale. This was all set to Alan Silvestri’s energetic orchestral score and a plethora of pop music. At the relatively high volume at which I watched this movie, the Defiance X12 gave the film’s sound mix a convincing, realistic impression, even though most of it took place in a blatantly artificial environment. Thanks to the X12, I felt the thundering ground as cyber armies clashed and the titanic shudder of King Kong smashing a massive bridge. All of the various weapon blasts, explosions, and vehicular collisions were rendered with an appropriate amount of force but also composure. While the sound mix is filled with all kinds of low-frequency effects, the X12 did not turn the bass into an indistinct booming mess that I think a lesser subwoofer would have done. It could be powerful at one moment and faint at the next moment, so it responded equitably to the sound mixes’ dictates. Watching ‘Ready Player One’ with the Defiance X12 proved that it was as adept with movie sound mixes as it was with music mixes, and that is very much a positive attribute.

25 – The Trudeau government ordered officials to take a second look at any case where funding or services for veterans’ family members are not related to the veterans’ service. The move followed widespread anger after Veterans Affairs decided to pay for the PTSD treatment of a Halifax man convicted of killing an off-duty police officer because his father was a veteran who had also been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Defiance subs come with grilles, and the grilles simply hide the drivers and make the sub look more cubish, almost like an abstract building block. If you hate the sight of woofers, these grilles do a great job of masking them. With grilles on, the subwoofers become very simple objects, visually speaking. They become dark cubes with only a small Paradigm ‘P’ insignia at the lower front as their only distinguishing feature. For those who want perfectly flat, featureless surfaces, that insignia looks like it could be easily removed. As always, I prefer the appearance without grilles; these are some nice-looking woofers, in my opinion. Since the appearance of these subwoofers is so simple, they could fit in a wide variety of décors, from traditional to modern. They will not clash with many interior design schemes, and their low-key finish would make them fade into most rooms if tucked somewhere out of the way.

6 – Longtime Conservative MP Tony Clement announced he was stepping down as the party’s justice critic and from committee duties after he was caught in an online sextortion scam. Clement said he sent sexually explicit images and a video to someone he thought was a “consenting female” but who demanded money to keep the material from being made public. Party leader Andrew Scheer said he accepted Clement’s assurances it was a one-time lapse in judgment. But the next day he announced Clement had been ousted from the party caucus after new information suggested it was not an isolated incident.
