www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... This is a good reason NOT to vote for him.

Why does Google think it is a good idea to ask me when I look at each and everyone of my pictures in Google Drive if I want to summarize them?

Hm, librarians could help with journal quality control but #Liber2026 is sponsored by Frontiers. I remember reading a thread about AI-led peer review process by Frontiers. Whatever.

I can live without Internet when I'm flying.

Présentement, Ottawa-Québec en train 6 h avec changement d'équipage à Montréal. En réalité, ajoutons 45 minutes pour retards. Pour 400 km de route, presque 7 heures en train. That's the rush. Avoir un transport en commun rapide. lp.ca/5FF3VQ?shari...

www.cbc.ca/player/play/... After some 25 years of just strolling through the city I made it again to Dows Lake. I wonder where could have fit another 10,000 visitors that day! My impression was less tulips but more stalls and advertising. O tempora!

Somehow municipal workers think best way to accommodate pedestrians during construction in downtown Ottawa is to make them cross the street. @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social

Happy that people like reading (and writing). What is not mentioned is that Libby is paid by public libraries (your taxes) and that Overdrive's business model is onerous, as an ebook is priced more than the print book and perpetual access is rare. Ignorance is bliss!

I'm sure that Australian oranges and tangerines are tasty, but importing them into Canada and selling m for $4.99/pound might not have been the best business decision for Farm Boy.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Hard to believe that this neighbourhood has that many pedestrians who are bothered by sunflowers. Someone at the City decided that they need to be destroyed. Note to self - avoid Saskatoon.

Our lawn might not please our neighbours but birds are visiting it.

Sometimes one thinks "what's the worst that can happen?". Guess they don't have enough imagination, and clearly haven't read any history books. I believe that even watching History Channel would have helped.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... NIMBY. Even for art.

Vendor sends chocolates. Very nice indeed. I would appreciate a lower price more.

“I am excited to announce”. What happened to pleased or happy? Why does everyone need to be excited?

Some mayors are better than others. And some are even more disappointing than expected. Looking at you, @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social. I liked your radio show and podcast, but not whatever you’re doing at City Hall. Ottawa deserves better.

As a thoughtful prime minister @mark-carney.bsky.social gave M. Blanchet his cell phone number.

One person says "if I may" Another one rebukes with "False" #Debate2025

Most people would be more productive if they wouldn’t have to read and respond politely to salespeople’s unsolicited emails.

This is no time to be sarcastic, this is no time to be sarcastic, this is not time to be sarcastic, this is no time to be sarcastic, this is no time to be sarcastic, this is no time to be sarcastic, this is no time to be sarcastic. #cnpoli
