Star Trek's Kirk should be honourary captain in navy: Facebook group

He was captain of the Enterprise, but is James T. Kirk fit to be a captain in the Canadian navy? A recently formed Facebook group is campaigning for William Shatner -- the Canadian actor who played the iconic captain on Star Trek-- to become an honourary captain in the Canadian navy. To be eligible, a candidate must be a former officer or a distinguished Canadian citizen. The Canadian navy says honourary captains are quite visible and attend -- in uniform -- many prominent naval, Canadian Armed Forces and public events and ceremonies. Current members include former prime minister Brian Mulroney's chief-of-staff Hugh Segal and Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion.
