Enough of these Americans destroying the lives of Canadian workers. Nationalize it. And while we're at it, do the same for all the closed lumber mills in BC. @mark-carney.bsky.social @avilewis.ca #Stelco #hamont #cdnpoli #onpoli #bcpoli

Cleveland-Cliffs CEO: I bought Stelco because I could not afford anymore having Stelco flooding the market here in the United States to the detriment of my own company. David Cochrane: Am I understanding you correctly there? It was a defensive acquisition?

fwiw, some Hamilton Ontario municipal election predictions, 2026: Loomis takes mayor (Horwath 3rd or close to it with Cooper. Gillespie gets over 9%.). Wards 1-4 and 12 don't change councillor (2 could be a close one, and Savelli is close 2nd in Ward 1. But, hey, incumbency, amirite? ) There you go.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Take a look at this 114-year-old correspondence between literature laureates Bertrand Russell and Rabindranath Tagore on this day in 1912. Tagore tells Russell he recently finished Russell's article 'The Essence of Religion'. Tagore writes that the article reminded him of a verse in the Upanishads.

Yesterday I scored a hat trick of raptors. Walking along a trail, I spotted a pair of Osprey. On my way back, one had apparently turned into a Bald Eagle! Later, a Red-tailed Hawk swooped right over my parked car and perched right next to it. #birds #birding #raptors #HamOnt

There continue to be HSR service cancellations, caused by mismanagement, resulting in severe shortage of working buses. The Public Works General Manager and the HSR Senior Director continue to falsely claim real-time bus location data and info is wrong, saying no longer any cancellations. #HamOnt

Once again, according to the General Manager of Public Works and the HSR's seniormost Director, the HSR's computer systems are experiencing an unknown malfunction, the real-time transit data (and the eyes of Hamiltonians) are malfunctioning, and these HSR cancellations alerts are false. #HamOnt
