Here's a weird one. Egg sandwich gets cheese and tartar sauce for me, but has to be Kraft (or definitely a dill style and not a sweet relish style).

Yes, it's sweeter! I prefer a tangier, less sweet version. My wife and I grew up on opposite sides of this condiment fence.

Big Hellmans fan, not a fan of Miracle Whip. It's a pepsi/coke thing, different taste, what you grew up with, etc.

Woof! Stinks in here!

Oooof.

Where did you go to?

Incredible how committed to moving backwards they are.

Just an FYI:
3kg box of frozen chicken drumsticks at Save on Foods are $9.85 today (only today), regularly $20.49

Sad but likely true.

And teach and reinforce the backup strategies. Recent incident with girls we know, followed by a weird dude being aggressive. They ran to a busy and very public place (gas station) for help.

Snark level off the chart. Love it.

I forget, is it good or bad that the world's richest people can spend a small fraction of their annual income to quietly bring academics and media folks to heel just by giving them money through grants, donations, ad revenue, or business partnerships.

A long but really excellent read.

This is 🔥
"When a politician builds an entire “carbon tax is causing grocery inflation” story and his go-to expert is a management professor with a podcast, that choice is not about who has the best evidence. It is about who will give him the number he wants."

This is a great read. I will add one more Harper issue—withdrawing stimulus too soon after the 2008 recession ensured the Bank of Canada had to keep rates lower for longer, which drove up consumer debt levels. Conservatives now complain those debt levels are too high (but blame Trudeau/Carney).

I think the discussion in Canada is increasingly going to be:

Does Canada have a *Donald Trump* problem or does Canada have a *United States of America* problem?

NOAA's latest update on state of El Niño, just 3 hours old.
Summary:
1. We are in neutral conditions and will likely remain that way for several months.
2. An El Niño is likely (61% chance) to emerge, but magnitude is still quite uncertain as we have not crossed spring predictability barrier.

Never a bad time for fried chicken.

It's really bonkers how unable the leadership team here can't stick to a message for more than a few days. Couldn't tell you what their policies even are.

Global energy-related CO2 emissions reached a new record high, but growth nearly ground to a halt (+0.5%)

CO2 fell in China, India and the EU, while rising in the US

Led by “extraordinary” growth of solar, clean energy pushed fossil-fuel generation into reverse

Solar growth of +600TWh in 1yr is the largest ever rise – from any source – excl rebound yrs

Electricity again grew more than 2x as fast as energy, which IEA says “confirms[s] the arrival of the Age of Electricity”

Rapid demand growth from EVs / data centres is still “relatively slim” vs demand growth overall, driven by industry, households & commercial buildings

THE ONION OFF THE TOP ROPE

YES!

This is getting so weird. AB and BC will be permanent DST. SK has not changed clocks for decades and remains on CST (which is the logical and research supported) choice; I hope we do the same. But this is going to make time zones very weird. Thoughts and prayers if you deal with clients across NA.

Calgary and Edmonton drove the the 'No' vote in Alberta's 2021 referendum on permanent daylight savings The question — Do you want Alberta to adopt year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is summer hours, eliminating the need to change our clocks twice a year? — was narrowly defeated by a vote of 50.2% to 49.8% provincewide. But the vote breakdown varied by geography. Source: Elections Alberta Chart: Robson Fletcher, Data & Storytelling Strategist

Albertans narrowly rejected permanent daylight saving time in a 2021 referendum.

But today Premier Danielle Smith revealed the province *is* going ahead with it anyway.

Opposition in the referendum was strongest in the biggest cities, while support was stronger in smaller towns and rural areas.
