Today, we’re launching Be Giant to report on the ideas that may offer solutions to Canada’s biggest challenges. A non-profit, non-partisan media outlet, we'll work with some of Canada's best journalists to bring our stories to life: https://www.begiant.ca

Come on Saturday! You can make it to double-digits if you really try.

the online feed on my phone is 10 seconds ahead of the feed on my tv ... kind of unnerving

“Frankly, some people in their public lives are interested in seeing how close they can get to the [electrified] fence, and that generally doesn’t work out well for them.”

Older adults with moderate to severe hearing loss have higher odds of developing dementia and are more likely to experience social isolation—also linked to increased risk. Findings highlight the need to consider how these factors interact: www.unb.ca/datanb/resea...

Not just sneaky, but smart too…

Why is this embarrassment still live @susanholtnb.bsky.social @govnb.bsky.social ? Sure, us locals are having fun finding the gobs of misinformation, but it will do real damage to NB tourism if anyone else actually relies on it. It seems there was 0 product testing by THC. Unreal.

when you learn you missed playing connections and your streak ends at 89 😭

Yesterday, in order to fully understand the humour of @kellylamrock.bsky.social, I had to look up ‘remora fish’. Today, in finishing @karaswisher.bsky.social’s audio version of Burn Book I’m once again confronted by the remora fish. This is NOT a good omen. 😳

Legacy comparing erecting a toll at Aulac to the Cobequid Pass is not apples to apples. There’s an alternative to the Cobequid Pass - you can take the old road. 1/2

Highly recommend this episode. Lots to think about.

GET BEHIND THE FLAG. VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN. SPEM REDUXIT!

Imma gonna have me a campfire whether spring is here or not.

While a shock to those involved, this is the type of thing we need more of. If 8/10 provinces don’t provide these services through public sector, why must NB? A 3 year transition should allow for sensible privatization.

You broke it, you bought it. 🙄

Definitely in the FO part of FAFO.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

This is fascinating as it is the opposite of what others are doing ... www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/book...

*sigh* I rarely opt for an app over a website interface, but I really enjoyed the StatsCAN app.

Lots of folks sharing this graphic today (understandably so), but I encourage you to look at the rest of the data too. We are so easy-going - very open to gambling and marijuana too! ;) www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...

This is very curious. Did we sprout a new department?

Lots of interesting tidbits in here… podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

Tiffany’s sells a silver frying pan for thousands while a basic aluminum pot costs a few bucks Is there really a difference? Read Dr. Joe’s article on what the evidence says about the materials your cookware was manufactured with and while you’re at it, get some shopping advice! mcgill.ca/x/5q9

Definitely some provocative questions here. My question - why the comma after “what if” in a bunch of them?

“Too often governments treat citizens as a risk to manage, not an asset to exploit. It is here that the trust deficit infecting our democratic hygiene is most corrosive.” open.substack.com/pub/davidmcl...

No action on the family chat group, nor the friend chat group. Apparently we are too nerve-wracked to enjoy this bonding opportunity. 🇨🇦

Using Music to Teach Democracy #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/78882 This is interesting.

Friday feelings… The Ghost in You et al… spinning The Psychedelic Furs.

Do we do traffic updates here? To avoid the accident at Hanwell and Prospect the husband took Regent Street. Seems there is a major calamity there too. The burbs are hard to access this night. #FrederictonTraffic

Employers everywhere are happy the next game is Sunday morning.

The entire nation held its breath. Crazy stuff.

Again she yelled!! YES!

And she yelled!! YES

Ugh - what an ugly modernization. I’m all for mixing it up and exploring our history in this space. But replacing two grand, colourful paintings with a couple of boring composites is an awful choice aesthetically. Call the Art Bank please!

I can’t take the the pressure of this game in my comfy chair. I can’t imagine being a family member or fan in the arena.

Keep living under the fantasy that we ‘voted against a majority government’. That ain’t how it works. The official opposition is tone-deaf and out of sync. Fix that before blaming us.

Sad to see this.

Once again Canadian productivity takes a hit as we all watch Olympic hockey.

Huras with all the “$&@?” news today.

Moving performance… youtube.com/shorts/E3d6o...

Finally! 🏒
