International Women’s Day this year falls on the same day many of us move clocks forward.
That means today is only 23 hours long instead of 24.
Women have been short-changed one hour of their own day. This year is only 95.83% of a full day. Women have been deprived of 4.17% of their official day.

Geopolitical disruption isn’t an automatic sales opportunity for fossil fuel producers. There are too many cheap alternatives, so it’s more likely to generate demand destruction.

Europe’s gas consumption post Russian invasion of Ukraine is a case in point.

Donald Trump's "window of opportunity" for starting his war in Iran was 1) after the Olympics, 2) while the stock markets were closed, 3) when his poll numbers were rock bottom, 4) after his SOTU speech was widely ridiculed, and 5) more Epstein files went missing and others hinted at drug...

I think for this year, I’m devoting my hockey song to the US women’s hockey team.
I’m so proud of them. Yes, it’s Canadian song. But they are so inspirational, encompass the spirit of hockey.οΏΌ

It's rich that David "Axis of Evil" Frum gets to comment on any president's State of the Union on any platform.

But that's the nature of this thing. It doesn't matter what evil you do, what you get wrong, if you're part of the club and a friend of power the game goes on and on and on.

ANALYSIS | Mexico made 'high-risk bet' in taking down cartel boss El Mencho | CBC News After tracking El Mencho’s lover to his lair, Mexican special forces launched an operation by air and land, leading to two shootouts that left the drug boss mortally wounded.

I'd like to read more explainers like this from Canadian outlets, and fewer stories about how retirees from Calgary are upset about disruptions to their vacations / flights

Proud of my colleague Kyla Lee for her important advocacy at the Supreme Court of Canada Last week Kyla Lee appeared at the Supreme Court of Canada in Korduner v. His Majesty the King (SCC 41737) representing the intervener, Women in Canadian Criminal Defence (WiCCD).

Proud of my colleague, @kylalee.ca for her submissions at the Supreme Court of Canada last week. This was the first I’ve heard a woman’s perspective on the issues and perils of police detention and it gave me much to think about.

ANALYSIS | Danielle Smith says court 'skewed' to Liberal donors, but UCP picks have political ties just as often | CBC News CBC analysis suggests about one-fifth of federally named judges match with Liberal donor lists. About as many judges picked by the province likely gave to UCP.

Danielle Smith shared a wildly inaccurate claim on federally appointed judges’ Liberal ties. But that also raised the question: what about the judges UCP gov’t picks for Alberta.

Good. At least we’re keeping up the pressure. Would have been better had we all done more earlier, but at this point we can keep the pressure up.

Very sad accident in Burnaby the other night. The driver of one vehicle died in the collision. The three occupants of the white compact Volvo SUV had non-life-threatening injuries.
Interesting case study in Volvo safety. The other vehicle is unrecognizable.
