"Canada Post can offer essential services and good jobs in an e-commerce era if it’s allowed to evolve and if the rules governing the sector are updated. Three key steps are needed to make this happen."

some insane sunrises this week

#GetOutside
while rushing to drop my dog off at a parents place during blue hour I had to stop and take a quick snapshot of this insane sunrise. the sky is an alchemical mixture of light and clouds, diffusing hot pinks, oranges, and blues. taken at the side of the road, the far bike lane just visible, below the backyard fenceline of a niagara suburb i took one more snapshot at the parking lot during golden hour. the tree at the far side of the lot is caught in silhouette against the insane sky, now light hot oranges and diffuse hints of a future blue sky, with an awkward street light and the pine trees on the far shore of the canal in silhouette

I personally said not a word on here about the ceasefire because I am old and I know Israel.

Unifor is not mincing words.

“Stellantis’ actions are appalling,” the statement said. “Since February 2025, when the company first notified the union of delays in Brampton Assembly Plant retooling and J4U program implementation, Unifor sought clarity on the company’s reasons, as well as timelines for work to restart. For 8 months, company representatives reassured us that the vehicle commitment to Brampton was unchanged.”

Though Mike Harris claimed it was done in the name of cost-cutting and efficiency, amalgamation has effectively gerrymandered municipal politics in Ottawa and Toronto and diluted the power of local residents over their cities and communities

It's been 25 years since One-Big-Ottawa was imposed on us. The world has finally taken note: this thing doesn't really work for urban or rural residents. I wrote about why and what's next.

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

Ask yourself why you have heard nothing on Freeports in the UK ? Why weren't you consulted about them ? Why is tax payers money going to private companies who run them ? Why are companies in Freeports exempt from Customs and Excise tax ? Why do companies in Special Economic Zones follow own rules?

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
