My latest: Mark Carney just delivered the most important speech in recent Canadian history. Now, we wait for the fallout. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/20/o...

Prime Minister Carney's speech at Davos is sending a message of Canada's determination to the world. Canada is united at this time in the face of staggering levels of threat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5aQ...

"The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together. That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently. And it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us." 🏗️🇨🇦

Hi there, I would like to talk about paywalls Today I had a rather large article drop in Slate and there was a soft paywall. A lot of people commented upset about that paywall Let's talk about: a) how to get around paywalls b) why you shouldn't be mad about them

We still seek material resources, however much they change. Ours include oil, uranium, and rare earths, but the shape of the quest remains the same. The center is here; the resource is there. The line between them is a lifeline and a noose. #StephenPiment letter.palladiummag.com/p/the-bronze...

Another unspoken truth, via @theonion.com:

Was literally thinking ~2 weeks ago how the era of JavaScript frameworks was so much more fun than what the industry is obsessed with now. The JS era was democratic, anyone could invent, innovate. The AI era feels like an oligarchy creating a tragedy of the commons.

Area burned in Canada for 2025 is now at 5.6 M ha exceeding the total for the entire 2024 fire season. This fire season is not as bad as 2023 that had 9.37 M ha burned by July 12, 2023. However, 2025 is a very active year with 365 fires out of control and 2 months still left in the fire season.

There’s a lesson here for Canada, if the good people at the CBC want to learn it.
