Today, Mark Carney delivered a speech worth watching. But a good speech is not foreign policy. The Prime Minister now needs to follow his words with action.
As a start, Mark Carney must:

So, if you were talking about martial law last year, and you were laughed off as a fearmonger, this would be the moment to recognize that, once again, things turned out even worse than expected.

We are moving on; trading amongst ourselves, protecting each other and it is working for us. Under President Miller and Trump, America is quickly losing it‘s geopolitical and economic leverage around the world. Business leaders need to wake up and stand up before they start falling out of windows.

In the Canadian federal election, the distance between Poilievre (Conservative) and Carney (Liberal) is histrionics. PP is willing to destroy things that benefit the non-wealthy. Carney will just smother them with a smile. The NDP's problems are trivial in comparison.

Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic ac...

People outside the COVID informed community see many of us as stuck in 2020 & 2021, while it’s obvious to us that most ppl are pretending to live in their 2019 fantasy where COVID doesn’t exist & doesn’t harm or k*ll or disable people (your risk of LongCOVID increases with each reinfection)

Outside, howling wind and mysterious thumps and scrapes as our snow shovel tries to defend us from the storm. Inside, bright wood stove, warm cats, chocolate cake with clotted cream, exciting novel to read aloud while the listener draws a portentous picture

Just to be clear, we would consider a book written anywhere (without the help of AI) if Nova Scotia figures in it somehow. But this recent spate is about Soviet prisons, billionaire angst, medieval quests involving ripped bodices, and flipping houses for fun and profit.

Our little publishing house brings out books 'written in, or about, rural Nova Scotia'. We must have gotten on some list, though, because manuscripts are coming in from Romania, Oklahoma, and some places I am hard pressed to identify. Nice to be noticed... I think? 1/2

it was a real struggle to complete edits on 21 books for Moose House Publications moosehousepress.com last year. So I am very happy that I have four of our 2025 books ready to go already. Nice to have them done well in advance of their launch dates. Already at work on the next four. #books

I have long been fascinated by the city of Trebizond, on the Turkish coast of the Black Sea. Now, thanks to Neal Acherson's remarkable "Black Sea", I am even more caught by its story. And let's not forget Odessa, the Crimea, the Tatars and Cossacks and all the wild dreamers of the region

Got it first-ever air fryer, with about twenty different functions. First experiment, of course, is mug cake. We will do the taste test very soon!

Been writing a thing for a one-act play competition, but I am not going to submit it. In the current state of willful neglect of sensible measures against COVID, why entice actors into a room to rehearse a play it may shorten their lives to perform?
