I’d like to know whether I should plant my damn Apple orchard or if a train is moving in. From my review of the impossible to find documents in various places around the internet, it appears that if the downtown Ottawa station is chosen, we’re good. If the Tremblay station is chosen, we’re fucked.

That’s my bet.

I would like to personally sue the President for my increased expenses and also the emotional toll of living next to this shitshow.

The president's former personal lawyer taking over in a position he views as his personal lawyer.

What a gorgeous photo of a gorgeous bird.

Lots of murder birds this week. #birds #photography #birdphotography #hawks #raptors

As exhausting as the Trump presidency has been for ordinary people, it must be a god damn nightmare for serious world leaders. I couldn’t do it.

This is also good. Two good news stories in a row.

This is good

I take this back. On a double check it completely ignored one field. When I pointed that out it said “you are right” and then generated documents that were unopenable. I hate this timeline.

“We all need stability, calm, a return to peace – this isn’t a show!”

Claude is very helpful for creating mail merge letters.

It is hard to comprehend that he wants to do things that even Pam Bondi won’t allow. Wake up America.

I seem to have some sort of flu. Just in time for the long weekend! Litigation truce is on everybody. Keyboards down.

If I went to space, I would not be bringing my email with me.

"i have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." The Astronauts truly representing us all up there.

April 30 - 12 - 1:30 - Sport Investigations CPD - Virtual This program will walk through a typical sport complaint investigation process from start to finish and touch on common challenges and hot topics. calendly.com/erinhdurant/...

Due to popular demand I’ve made our introduction to sport law CPD available for download online in our online store: www.durantbarristers.com/product-page...

MacFarlane: The DOJ is, by choice, undermanned right now. This is a decision they made to fire a lot of people or force a lot of people out. And according to new reporting from ProPublica, and my own reporting, they may be underutilizing the manpower they still have.

There should be a place. Where all countries have a voice. And if a leader has clearly gone insane and has access to nuclear codes, they should collectively decide to do something about it. Some sort of group of nations…

Becker: The DOJ has been hollowed out. They’re the losingest law firm in America right now. They’re going to lose. The president simply does not have this power. This executive order is about as effective as if I wrote it in crayon on a napkin. It just doesn’t mean anything legally.

The NFL has (another) woman problem. The league’s third female official was fired after 3 years but alleges the man who evaluated her performance was also harassing and humiliating her. VERY INTERESTED TO HEAR THE RESPONSE FROM THE NFL REFEREES ASSOCIATION. www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-n...

Negotiating sounds easier. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I don’t care if a rocket is going to the moon unless Donald Trump is strapped to it.

This article suggests he wants to do shit that even Pam Bondi won’t let him do. America, wake up. www.cnn.com/2026/04/01/p...

Useful articles about Alto for those in the vague study corridor. They discuss the routing options into and through Ottawa - something Alto does not do on its website other than to reference a “new right of way”. www.transportaction.ca/topics/inter... johnnyrenton.substack.com/p/the-good-b...

…they were obviously dead and perhaps blown up

The coverup, as several sources on the inside have referred to it to me, was clearly happening since even the very first days of the war, when people at the pentagon and elsewhere did not think leadership was being upfront about the number of “missing”…. Some of whom were clearly missing because …

Now back to my regular scheduled bird photos. This is a breeding pair of American Kestrels.

If you don’t understand the Alto outrage, pretend your property is in the middle of the vague study corridor. Then go to Alto’s website to try and get information about the route. There is nothing useful on their website. They didn’t even record and share information from the public sessions.

I knew the mad king couldn’t make it through the whole hearing and would storm out. Listening to the other side’s arguments are always the worst - even when you are a lawyer involved in the case. It’s also very disrespectful to the Supreme Court to just get up and leave in a huff mid-argument.

It’s time for a serious discussion. What is the world going to do about Donald Trump?

My law clerk is at tonight’s Jays game and I am very jealous.

👀

I’d like, just once, to see someone support the bullied woman journalist.

Rapist

Announcing this the same week that Alto is delivering access requests to properties around LaRose Forest sure is a god damn choice.

Right on schedule. Smart as Alto’s field work studying private properties started Monday. I still cannot stand PP, but this is going to be very popular in Prescott-Russell-Cumberland (currently has a liberal MP but a swing riding). www.conservative.ca/stop-90b-alt...

I have to hand it to PP (who I cannot stand). Giving a speech against Alto this week just as Alto starts delivering notices to private land owners about studying their property is a wise move. I still can’t stand the guy, but I appreciate someone saying something.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. I need to sell my house. I don’t want to.

The middle class is fucked. We are in for some very rough and increasingly dystopian times.

I don’t think America will be as successful at brainwashing people outside their own country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The ScoreBet advertisement behind home plate at the Jays game is horrendous. Alberta! I’m sorry it’s happening.

At one point, some of her lawyers were Canadians. I’m not sure if that’s still the case. James Bunting and Carlos Sayao. They are excellent.

The 37.6% approval is way too high. America is broken.

There is significant anger about the Alto project in the small communities between Hawkesbury and the city of Ottawa (where I live) and between Ottawa and Peterborough (where my family is).

There are many reasons women leave sport at a younger age than men. This creates a new one. Who wants their genes tested and the results reviewed and studied by the IOC’s gender police?

I think the anger is misdirected. The Board hires the CEO. If your flight attendants and ticket agents have to be fluently bilingual, so should the CEO.
