WINNIPEG—An Indigenous man in Manitoba has had his NDN CAR personalized licence plate returned, but an avid “Star Trek” fan learned resistance is futile in his court fight to get his Borg-themed plate back.

Nick Troller had filed a legal challenge against Manitoba Public Insurance over its decision to revoke the ASIMIL8 plate after receiving a complaint that it was offensive to Indigenous people.
