Some are asking for more passion from our soon to be PM, Mark Carney. I disagree- he’s passionate about Canada, our values and our people - and we need his calm. These are tumultuous days, emotions are high: fear, anger and worry. We need a calm and determined leader to pull us through.

I learned a new word today: autarky — the concept of a completely self-sufficient national economy. If that’s what the Trump administration aspires to, then the implications for Canada (and other allies & trading partners) are alarming.

What’s the plan behind Trump’s tariff war? Is there a plan? Good analysis by Andrew Chang of CBC’s “About That”. International trade depends on a certain amount of trust between parties. And trust, once lost, is incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to restore.

I had the exact same experience yesterday at my local LCBO. (For folks outside of Ontario: that’s the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which operates the liquor stores in this province.)

This was #OntarioPlace on this weekend in March 2023. Brisk but fresh. Bright with a warm sunset glow. Patches of snow on the ground, a soundtrack of early migratory birds and lapping waves on the pebble beach. Heartbreakingly destroyed for a planned stadium-sized private spa from Therme Group.

Huh. I was wondering what that was. Didn’t see the flash, but heard a really loud, longish “thunder clap” that I didn’t think was thunder.
