Most liquor laws are.

This is a remarkably bad idea but not surprising that it's Alberta's government. Policy requires the kind of nuance AI lacks because AI draws upon frequency of information rather than credibility of information. Boy this will be interesting.

[edit] According to this article Canada "dominated" this top 10 list of universities. We had 3; Britain had 5. Clearly "we" don't dominate in math. www.narcity.com/canadian-uni...

Canadian universities dominated the top 10 of a new world's best universities ranking

But we don't have the number one school anymore. 👀

Awesome. Sorry I missed it. But I'm always sorry I'm missing stuff that goes on in Bristol!

Remember Virginia.🕊️

Photo of Virginia Guiffre - which is being added by people to all White House posts. Virginia died by suicide in April, but her persistence and courage led to the exposure of Jeffrey Epstein and his accessories in sex trafficking and rape. She - along with the other survivors - may well help to bring Trump down.

This is the second time in two weeks that weather has forced me to deal with Air Canada booking staff. I have to say it was not as unpleasant as expected although the flight changes still suck.

This is wealth redistribution right?

In some recent clips of him he was visibly slurring. Pretty sure there are some mini strokes going on in there.

I just learned that celebrated Canadian military historian Tim Cook passed away yesterday. I didn't know him well but he was always generous and supportive of my mediocre forays into military history. I'm gutted. My condolences to his family. What a terrible loss.

Good grief! You don't even need to hear Reagan's words. He was the president who signed the original Free Trade Agreement with Canada. His actions say it all.

Good point. It reminds me of the change in the seventies when they used to be called "anti-manpower mines" :-)

In case you were wondering if the CDC has been politicized this is at the top of their web pages.

Senate's Social Affairs, Science & Technology committee is deliberating bills on alcohol labeling & advertising. The list of witnesses is troubling. It includes only people involved in the public health & temperance industry providing a skewed, harm-focused perspective. Where is the balance?

Same to you. So much to be thankful for as a Canadian especially this year as I gaze across Lake Erie ...

Will Chicago cops be able to arrest them for peeing in public?

Anti-vaping rhetoric based on unfounded arguments about its harm leads to smokers choosing to continue to smoke. Great example of Illich's specific counter productivity in which something intended to have one effect does the opposite. www.bmj.com/content/391/...

Vaping misperceptions must be challenged

Mahase reports on the increasing number of people in England who smoke both cigarettes and e-cigarettes (vapes).1 Despite substantial evidence that vaping exposes users to much lower levels of toxican...

As a Canadian living near the border I can say this might--but only might--happen when he's gone. There's a lot of emotional scar tissue to heal and trust to repair.
