Who’s gonna tell him this is supposed to be a birdhouse?

Op-Ed: If being Canadian has a price, let’s pay it www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/08/26/o...

Gen-X survived just fine without fresh strawberries and watermelon in December. This generation can too. We thrived long before there was ever a free trade agreement in the first place. And this is a whole new world, with better, faster international communications, transport, and relationships.

It’s a new day Canada. Elbows up. No deal is the best deal for us. You can’t have a good deal with someone you don’t trust. Forward. 🇨🇦 #Never51 #elbowsup

Looking forward to this. Love that they are already 3x their fundraising goal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fel...

I am loving my summer garden.

It’s a beautiful day rebels. Carpe diem.

Looks like a rabbit liked my Lilly too.

Is anyone else on Gander? Looking to see if any of my Canadian friends have joined there 🇨🇦 If you are Canadian, come find me. gander.social/profile/tmai...

Heh. Canadian moment. Gardening this morning I thought “I need about 5 gallons of water for this”. My immediate next thought was to grab a 20 litre pail. Is that just a generational thing?

For my Alberta friends… Just finished signing up for my $100 Danielle bucks. That was possible the worst, most painful UX I have ever experienced. Ugh.

New Scam Alert. Specifically for Alberta residents. I just received this legit looking SMS, except it is not. It is RCS phishing. Do Not try the url or reply to the text.

I collect things. :)

Happy Father’s Day dad. I miss you.

Cross-posting on all the platforms. Disappointing, but not entirely unexpected. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/226...

Tariff-free breakfast brought to you by Canadian and Mexican growers. Stay frosty out there Rebels. Tomatoes - Ontario Eggs - Alberta Bread - Ontario Ham - Quebec Avocado - Mexico Butter - Manitoba Philadelphia Cream Cheese - Quebec Your choices matter.

open.spotify.com/track/0I0u88... There are some songs that have the power to transport you to a specific moment in time. I am sure it is different for everyone, but this is one of those songs for me.

Interesting read this morning www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

Go Jays!

Following up on my previous RCS Spam annoyance, I wrote a new post... thebleedingedge.ca/2025/07/28/c...

To the person who sent me and 17 others this via RCS. Under Canadian law this is SPAM and can carry a $10million fine (or more). You have been reported and I will keep reporting you Every Single Time.

GOOD MORNING!

I think it is time for a truly Canadian Artificial Intelligence engine. We can call it “eh-eye”. :)

Apparently the sunflower seeds are a hit with the local squirrel population.

This past week, I was learning about an AI “MCP” and my mind immediately drifted to the TRON MCP. Kinda the same thing actually. Lol. By the way, an AI MCP is like a universal connector between an agent and external tools.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. :(

This is a phenomenal read. open.substack.com/pub/uncharte...

This is dangerous thinking: “Rather than replacing human workers, AI agents are more likely to collaborate with them, enhancing human capabilities and ensuring the efficient completion of tasks.” Anyone who thinks a c-level exec will pay for both a human and AI to do the same job is naive.

Important facts keep getting ignored in tariff conversations. The US and Canada have a fair agreement reguardless of the false narrative coming from people in power. Don’t let a few self-serving individuals destroy the best bi-lateral trade relationship in the world. youtu.be/etFsd3_eY2Q?...

2/2 This article validates my belief and is all comments from Calgary, AB - AKA Texas North - where most of the right-wing Conservatives you have ever heard of hail from. We will never ever be #51 calgarycitizen.com/p/calgary-ci...

Oh great. You know who has money like that? Drug lords. Now every cartel kingpin can be an instant US citizen. www.instagram.com/reel/DGg1Wxm...

Hmmm. Just realized today is 25022025. Interesting.

Has been a long time since I made myself a Monte Cristo. Yum.

Have a glorious day. Rebels.

Good morning world.

Choices matter. Buy Canadian

Your morning WTF… www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

And I think this caps it off… Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. DAY 5
