The Moneyed/Investor class hates you. They don't want you to have anything. We should probably stop listening to their "advice."

One structural change that will make a difference in labour negotiations is to make it clear that a Minister can not and will not intervene to stop a strike as soon as it starts to help out the employer - that forces employers to bargain. Repeal s107.

It is so frustrating to hear Senators (intentionally) misunderstand the impact to the economy of preserving the right to strike. Labour's position is that when employers believe the government will step in - they don't negotiate, *creating* more disruptive labour disputes.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Watching sh*t totally fall apart from attrition and knowledge loss, while also watching the C-suite ask a quarter of the company to quit, is an experience

Cooling and lift are ridiculous costs to the use of space-based data centers.

I’m guessing the results from the first batch of GPUs in space are bad because instead of hearing about how wonderful orbital data centers are Elon has pivoted hard towards “only I can break regulations fast enough to build regular earth based data centers, unlike those losers at Coreweave”

From the outside, I have all the markings and credentials of a person who should “fit” in academia (for better or worse). But there’s a little Bourdieu who sits on my shoulder and whispers “habitus” and “your Dad was a high school drop-out truck-driver” at all the wrong times.

On my drive in this morning, I was listening to a piece on the CBC about diagnosing MS and I don't think people realize how many things are actually diagnosed via exclusion and not inclusion.

RIP Walter Koenig. From the stars we came, and to the stars we return, from now until the end of time. We therefore commit Ensign Pavel Chekov and Alfred Bester to the deep between the stars.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Scoop: Dubai’s DP World Ltd. is set to unveil a deal backing potential development of Canada’s port of Churchill, a northern outpost that Prime Minister Mark Carney aims to expand for exports to Europe and other markets. The UAE Crown Prince happens to be visiting Ottawa today and tomorrow:

Can we vote on this? We had a deal. We had two deals. Twice bitten, fuck off. That's my vote.

GOLD FOR CANADA 🇨🇦 The Canadian women’s relay team skates to gold here in Vancouver. What a way to start the season. It was a rematch of the Olympic final. Canada won bronze then. It’s gold this time.

Well I'll be. The old college jacket from the early 1990s fits like it did when I bought it. SOB. There might be something to this diet and exercise thing after all.

OK, I can vote online in a municipal election in Canada, but I have to upload photos of my government ID to what appears to be an American company who, in their terms, openly admit that they will pas on info to third parties which aren't outlined but have their own privacy guidelines? SERIOUSLY?
