I live in Alberta, Canada, and write under the byline J.Y.T. Kennedy.
Buffalo Days and Nights. My imagined version would require a huge budget and involvement of multiple indigenous groups. I am willing to make do with cgi buffalo herds, though. I'm not completely unrealistic.
Quote tweet with a Canadian book that would absolutely kill as a TV series.
I'll start:
RED X by David Demchuk

The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"
Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.

Does anyone else hate the way Canadian political debates now are streamed with interpreters inserted over the original audio? My French is imperfect, but I like to be able to hear what is actually being said, ideally with subtitles to help out with any bits I don't catch.

I had a little story about things going wrong with AI simulations of people in polarborealis.ca in May. It was written in Fall 2024, and conceived earlier yet, and it seems to keep getting more topical. . .

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Book recommendation: The Last Cold Place by Naira de Gracia www.nairadegracia.com I have been working on a fantasy story set on an island, and decided to model that island (loosely) after a real one far to the south. Naturally this requires research.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Danielle Smith's recent talk about a unity crisis makes it clear that if the Liberals win this election while a majority of Albertans support the Conservatives, she will see that as a mandate to push her separatist, Trump-aligned agenda.
