It’s hilarious that Dallas is claiming racism and stuff since she was also investigated for foreign interference. She knew she was a massive long shot. She had NO chance of winning. The entry fee had $300K non-refundable. Good for the Liberals for booting this fraud.

I remember seeing this episode story and I’m pretty lukewarm about watching this week’s Finding Your Roots episode with Shepherd, but hey. Going in. (I crashed hard on the sofa at 9 and woke at 1:30. I always get weird sleep patterns before spring time change!)

A key lesson that America’s frontline partners quietly learned from how the US treated Ukraine after Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion is that relying on US weapons or tech that can cut-off, limited, or geofenced leaves you captive to “de-escalation” /1 www.reuters.com/business/us-...

I encourage everyone to hit the link below and read the first article: ‘Tech giant with deep DOGE ties widens grip on health data’ And within that note several important links regarding security of our health information. If you are not yet following Canada Healthwatch - you need to.

My takeaway from watching my first-ever episode of Landscape Artist of the Year is that, at its heart, art is essentially the artist saying: “This is what’s interesting to me. Now I’ll make it interesting to you.”

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

Roasted veggies from earlier this week are becoming soup. Usually, onions, carrots & celery are in basic soup base, but since only celery was missing from my veggies, I sauteed a bit with more onion & garlic. Deglazed with vermouth, added stock & bay. I’ll puree soon. Re-season. That’s it. 🍜

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

Trivia: "Kicking at the darkness 'till it bleeds daylight" is a line written by Canadian songwriter Bruce Cockburn. U2 and others have quoted it in songs too, but Cockburn penned it. [And Leonard Cohen, also Canadian: "There's a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."]
