To paraphrase Adam Carolla, I've had an impacted ass full of this continued Dark Continent bullshit. It's 2012. We can stop perpetuating racism in cyberpunk and RPGs.

Exactly!

BRING ON THE CANADIAN DEATH SQUADS!!! 

What would they use hockey pucks? Or Canadian (Back) Bacon? Maybe attack moose? 

See, there you go, stereotypes.

They'd beat people to death with Lacross sticks or the Black Squad of RCMP would impale them at a charge (While simultaneously doing the Musical Dance.).

Two words: Michael Flatley

Who is oddly enough a Golden Gloves boxer from the south side of Chicago.

Also see my edit for the attack moose.

[Sichr]

Is this still Shadowrun/Renraku oriented topic?

The latest from Renraku biolabs, Attack Moose!

[Angelone]

Is this still Shadowrun/Renraku oriented topic?

Well, Michael Flatley is a good merge insect spirit Artisan adept lurking in Chicago, and Renraku now makes attack moose biodrones I'd say yes it is.

[Sichr]

Ah...I see

[Mirikon]

Well, it seems that Renraku is indeed going to be making a play coming up:

Renraku has refused to answer inquiries regarding their seizure of current and former members of the CAS legislature. Link

To update that, they've just sentenced a former CAS Congressional Representative Lance Jennings to death for corporate espionage. To be carried out on Sept 13, 2074.

In retaliation, the CAS has revoked dual citizenship with Renraku from nearly 700 people.

What is renraku upto?  Why were they kidnapping politicians? And what's up with getting caught on the espionage?  What were they trying to achieve that required such public exposure?

[Mirikon]

As has been said numerous times, the phrase "things have been quiet at Renraku lately" ought to put a shiver down anyone's spine.

[Ethan]

It's funny though, this Lance Jennings was arrested during a job interview.

Do you think this is related to the potential CAS/AZT war brewing? Hardball negotiations for weapons contracts?

Honestly? "Renraku" should put a shiver down anyone's spine. I'm glad they're correcting the lack of the corp's visibility in recent releases.
