It takes a lot to deport someone, especially someone famous like that. And there are special laws about Canadians in America.

How about a felony, perhaps caught with drugs?

That could work. And then land him in Canadian jail for a short while.

Is France taken?

Yeah, that actually happened to him and he is being considered to be deported. All of my breaking news thing early on (so that post and the next one) are going based on real events. After that it's kind of random because I can't really see the future.... (sadly)

The Legendardian Empire has fallen. an experiment failed, and the result was disastrous.
9 years ago, anything changed.

A Bio-Engineered species called the Ur'Quan were created, the beast grabbed his creator, slaughtered it and escaped.
it could reproduce asexually and had no need for partners.

months passed by, and an armada appeared above Endeavour and other significant planets..
A mass genocide begun, and the Ur'Quan demanded.
Slavery or Genocide.
And the empire chooses the first.

One by one all species returned to their homeplanets, to be enslaved under a red glowing dome, to be manipulated by it, only e few select may man a starbase..

Years passed by..
