The Canadian Space Agency hosted a second public event overnight on 4 to 5 April: a student Q&A with Jeremy Hansen organised alongside Canadian science centres and Indigenous education networks. Hansen, Wiseman, and Koch fielded questions about food in space, microgravity effects, and Earth's appearance from lunar distance. 1
Neither Canadarm3 nor Lunar Gateway was raised by Hansen, any student, or CSA staff. This is the second consecutive CSA-hosted public event where the $1 billion CAD programme cancellation went unmentioned. The first was Hansen's media call on Day 3 , where no journalist asked about it either.
Two events, zero acknowledgements. Canada is celebrating an astronaut's flight while maintaining official silence about the cancelled programme that justified his crew seat. MDA Space has separately told investors that Canadarm3 remains active under CSA contracts and can be adapted for alternative infrastructure. No Canadian government public statement on the cancellation has appeared. Hansen himself chose Apollo 13 as his favourite space film, describing "three humans trapped in a tiny capsule and surviving in space together." The irony of selection was not addressed.
