A Winnipeg man, Nick Troller has had his Manitoba license plate ASIMIL8 yanked because the government decided it was offensive to aboriginal peoples. There were two complaints. Troller has had the plate for two years and insists that it’s about a species of aliens from the Star Wars series. They are called the Borg and have the capacity to make other species “assimilate” into Borg using nanoprobes and surgically implanted cybernetic parts. The Borg are driven by a need for “perfection” and assimilate other races to further that goal. Canadians who still secretly think (but dare not say) that assimilation is a reasonable process just be quiet.
Oh, for Gawd's sake! Winnipeg Star Trek fan has licence plate — ASIMIL8 — revoked for ‘offensive’ message https://t.co/u7GCeghNVz
