WHAT A CAREER
Brad Gushue has just played his last game at the Brier. A remarkable career. Six Brier titles. World title. Olympic gold and bronze. 15 Slam titles.
It’s been an honour to cover so many of those moments. Congratulations @BradGushue.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States
City staff explore Kamloops-wide safer streets research after council rejects pilot program to reduce speeds 🛣️
Worked on this article for @thewrennews.ca check it out to know what is being done to improve road safety.

Poilievre Advisor: Okay, just be cool out there and remember to clarify when referencing Robin Hood that you don’t mean the one that everybody knows
This is exactly what’s going to happen. Full repeal, and a lost opportunity to be on Standard Time year round for a generation.
Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke
Anakin and Padme meme: Safety is our first priority Higher than LOS, right? ... Higher than LOS, right?
Me talking to the city engineer about the new Vision Zero plan.
Very funny to me, also, that "The Arsenal of Freedom" is the name of an episode in Star Trek TNG where autonomous AI weapons killed an entire civilization and there's a sales hologram still on the planet trying to sell them. it was originally a commentary in the sale of F-14 Tomcats to Iran(!)
“The Alberta electricity company Capital Power, which is developing a large new AI data centre in the province powered by natural gas, lobbied the federal Mark Carney government dozens of times last year to eliminate clean energy regulations.”
“These regulations were subsequently dropped.”
Are you a hockey fan, but not a fan of hockey players? What if there was a league that had all the skill and speed of the NHL, with none of the Trump supporting players (well, one) and all of the romance of Heated Rivalry? Tell me more, you say?

Nothing. I truly believe the establishment in this country is weak, spineless & feckless. It feels a bit lonely to do it -- especially as a low paid freelancer w zero security. So why take the personal risk if none of the bigger players in civil society will even say a word? It's depressing. 3/3
Two weeks ago I wrote a column about the egregious escalation in violent Toronto police corruption in one of the biggest daily newspapers in Canada. I wrote that they are bullies & the chief should be fired. I take none of that lightly. 1/3
Rhiannon Fox was on her way home from meeting with city officials about how to reduce danger from cars on Friday when she was hit by a car.
Our longtime volunteer @rhifaux.bsky.social was hit by a driver yesterday on the way home from a road safety workshop at city hall. She is home from the hospital and recovering with a broken wrist. We're grateful it wasn't worse, and outraged it happened at all. More to say soon.
One of the best shots I have ever seen. The best curlers in the world a few years ago wouldn’t have even tried it.
so, even in a province led by the NDP, a moral panic wholly manufactured by conservatives determines policy, a proven model of harm reduction is forever tainted despite never being fully implemented, and thousands of vulnerable people continue to die every year
this is hell
we live in hell
this could be the greatest goal call in hockey history
I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it
When BC's consumer carbon tax was first introduced, it was accompanied by tax cuts to both personal and corporate taxes to make it revenue-neutral. But when it was eliminated last spring, these tax cuts were not reversed. The result is a $2 billion hole in BC's finances. #BCBudget
“The imminent return of trains to northern Ontario and the Gaspé Peninsula is great news. But we need to make sure it’s only the beginning of a long-lasting national passenger rail revival.”
@taras-grescoe.com makes the case for Canada’s trains.
Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.

Important read.
I fear that the rhetoric around this is going to get very ugly very quickly because of the age we're living in.
