Do you ever get into one of those ruts where your brain is like... honestly, there must be someone powerful who's just telling everyone they think I'm the worst? No, ...? huh. Me either, then.

"Integrity and Carroll Crater. Loud and clear."

Another milestone moment in professional women's sports in Canada last night at Canadian Tire Centre.

Great insights, per usual. Hope you (and the boat) are well.

"I first took note of Poilievre in 2024, when we were both new on the Hill, me in the Gallery, him on the floor of the House."

2004, no?

"Be Giant is a non-profit organization, backed by the Weston family."

Hm.

Explore: Without Limits | Jeremy Hansen, Canadian Space Agency Astronaut | TEDxKanata YouTube video by TEDx Talks

As Jeremey Hansen sits ready to go further into space than anyone else has before, I remember his brilliant and inspiring talk at TedxKanata from a number of years back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTaB...

"What's said to Bob, and shared by Bob to Bill" is quite the defence. Bill building a database of every person ever is the difference. But, that doesn't seem to factor in here.

Good of Carney to punch down at the arts while sitting down with Monocle.

It will be interesting to see how Canada's copyright regime addresses these issues.

Not to mention playing on a field he's had ~35 matches on previously.

Althia Raj: Could Canada’s major political parties all agree on anything worse than this? The Liberals, Conservatives and New Democrats are attempting to grant themselves the right to do whatever they want with your personal information, without your knowledge or third-party oversight, Alt...

The NDP, Liberals and Conservatives, who worked together on the B.C. court case and co-ordinated their messages Thursday, urged senators to understand their need for one privacy regime rather than 13. But they failed to explain why they needed no minimum rules. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Life is spending time oscillating between wondering whether you've fallen prey to the sunk cost fallacy or whether to buy into the "you're one day away from the insight that will change your life" memes.

Have had a sinking feeling about the potential of this platform. This doesn’t inspire. Neither does their “well we offered them the same deal we offered the public” PR move.

Julie McCann is one of the most influential people in my life, and that she's wearing a Mama Bear hat in this photo is *chef's kiss* It's easy to think journalism as a domain is ripe for this kind of cut, but, the core of this education (curiosity, rigor) has never been more important.

I mean, there's equally a chance for one cabinet post in exchange for a floor crossing. See: David Emerson.

*Elizabeth May has entered the chat*

I'm in as long as we also cover "If I should lose you" by Billy Ocean.

There is a question brewing in my mind related to whether there was a calculation of the adoption rate of Bluesky was a considered fact in the progression of the "tactic of ICE" that vastly underestimated how quickly it would regain Twitter's pre-Musk form. Not that it has, but... it seems it may.

The double-edged sword is, having made himself the leading voice of reason in global liberalism in Davos, should he speak and subsequently things ignite stateside, he's made himself to blame... AND, that's the role.

I find it amusing that in Gizmodo's coverage of CES, they marvel at how a custom pair of shoes could cost *GASP* $210 but then gloss over a $230 keyboard like it's necessary for a good computing experience.

What about the words “importance of international law?”

This, honestly.

The Chat with Governor General's Nonfiction Award Winner Graeme Wood · Blog Post · 49th Shelf Graeme Wood's The Way of the Strangers: Encounters with the Islamic State is this year’s Governor General's Award winner for English-language nonfiction. ...

If it were just "The Atlantic" that would be one thing, but, it was Graeme Wood, who won a Governor's General Award for Non-Fiction... So, at least partially Canadian, himself. At least at some point. 49thshelf.com/Blog/2017/11...

Why do all of the rooms our PM hosts dignitaries in for social videos look like the second-tier boardroom available in a college media school?

Oh, 💯 this. We need a new sketch comedy show. I wish Picnic Face had taken off. We really fucked over the early 2010s Canadian creatives.
