Literal chat btwn me and my editor after publishing Friday's column:
Ed: You need to write about the Gravy Plane next
Me: Hang on, let's see if they dig in on this or bail before Monday

Really can't shake the analogy of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, with Donald Trump playing the role of Nicholas II

We bought our EV in 2025 shortly after the government rebates were paused or eliminated. And after federal consumer carbon tax was dropped as well. Our purchase felt like bad timing! But…I really wasn't expecting 2026 to be the year of a new oil war, but here we are…
We just came back from our first road trip in our EV (Mini Countryman SE). We drove to Ottawa for the weekend. Fun! The fast charging experience was pretty good, but it's wild the number of phone apps you end up installing just for what should be a simple transaction.
A picture of a bottle of wine sitting on a kitchen counter. The wine is called DRACULA wine and the label has a picture of fuckin Dracula doing the cape over the lower face move.

I realize this isn't terribly important right now, but Pizza Libretto in Toronto has the best take on a Hawaiian pizza. It's an amazing combo of grilled pineapple, ham, bacon, jalapeño, and "hot maple" sauce (maple syrup, cayenne, and chili flakes). The combo of sweet and spicy is just the best!
