Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Dear AI:

I asked if I could freeze Rocky road candy.

I did not ask what Rocky road candy was. Or how great it tastes. Or for the recipe variations. Or for the number of countries that enjoy it at Christmas. Or its culinary history.

Needed just one word: YES or NO.

Last week’s barge emergency near Bella Bella shows why Canada needs real container-spill preparedness. Heiltsuk Nation responders prevented disaster — but luck isn’t a plan. It’s time to pass my Bill C-215 and create a national strategy to protect coastal communities and our oceans.
