Yet another unsolicited election take. The divide between rural voters in the south and the rest of Canada is staggering. Not sure how to close this chasm.

Just installed Ubuntu on a really old MacBook. Seems snappy. Great way to bring an old laptop back from the dead. Best part - Google and Apple can’t be forced to give my data to the US government.

I love it when people post screen shots of the stock indices painted with red. I think it’s worth noting that while the TSX is dropping, it is outperforming the American indices fairly consistently. The tariffs appear to be disproportionately affecting the US.

Reminder to Canadians. Visa and MasterCard are American. Maybe time to go back to debit cards and good old cash. Some retailers will knock off the 2-3% credit card surcharge if you pay cash or debit.

I read that Canada made an all-electric car prototype to show off our parts making prowess. The vehicle was never intended for sale. Why not? I want my 100% Canadian Project Aarow car!

I’m so happy to see Canadians supporting our businesses. Now it’s time for the businesses to make sure they offer a Canadian option for Shipping. I want to be able to ship with Canada Post. UPS and FedEX are American (and not great IMHO).

I am loving grocery shopping these days. It feels very empowering to keep dollars in Canada (or anywhere but USA). Seeing more and more Canadian products popping up.

Thinking a lot about the safety of Canadians’ information online. Who doesn’t have something on a server owned by Google, Microsoft or Apple. I think it might be wise to store physical backups of files for the time when Trump pulls the plug.
