Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

Canadian taxpayers spent over $20,000 on Minister Hodgson’s travel in just August and September, including an exciting trip to Berlin.
How much of that could, or even should, have been a Zoom call, Minister?
Apologize to the chiefs, now.

everyone in tech has worked with that one 10x coder whose superhuman efforts required at least ten people to clean up, but was deeply loved by management for setting unrealistic expectations
Saying you "coded for 36 hours straight" is something only people who have never programmed, and have no idea what programming is, would think is an impressive thing.
It is a claim that literally would not even fool a first year CS student. They'd laugh at you for saying it.

Canada’s top political leaders are climate deniers. There’s no such thing as “decarbonized” oil and no environmentally conscious way to increase fossil fuel production.
Mark Carney and his government are sacrificing the climate and baking in worse natural disasters in the hope of short-term profit.
