“It isn’t that I’m more afraid of public speaking than death; it is that public speaking feels like it could cause my death. But I do it every month because I am a high school librarian in the state of Texas in times such as these.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Canadians buy made-in-Canada goods to support their local businesses and local economies.
We’re doing the same, at scale, with the Buy Canadian Policy — by building housing, infrastructure, and defence projects with Canadian materials, Canadian technology, and Canadian workers.

I learned about a brilliant project yesterday to support British Sign Language (BSL) users, creating new signs for scientific terms in chemistry, oceanography, data science & more.
And they're fabulously descriptive. Do have a look and share!

I joined thousands of authors in publishing an empty book, Don’t Steal This Book. It’s a demand to tech companies to stop stealing intellectual, creative, artistic, and other work to train AI models.

the Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy quote I think of most often these days is, “What do you mean, why’s it got to be built? It’s a bypass. You’ve got to build bypasses.”
Any connection to certain modern technologies is purely coincidental, and mostly harmless.
Ah, I see legal just got back from their mountain retreat.

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.
One day this video will become obsolete because Poilievre will finally get his security clearance, but, as Aragorn once said, it is not this day.

White blossom, probably blackthorn, against a clear blue sky.
It's beginning to look a lot like Spring. I think this is blackthorn blossom.
I take your point. However it is irresponsible of any party leader, once they become leader, not to apply for security clearance so that they can access the full information they need to do their jobs.
All 🇨🇦 party leaders should be required to get their security clearance. Poilievre has no good argument for not doing so. Citing Mulcair to support his decision is ludicrous. Tom who, you say?
