My new op-ed in The Globe and Mail today: Canada badly needs to diversify its trade and security partnerships - and this should include deeper ties with the UAE and other Gulf states.

Before moving to government Carney was literally a UN special envoy for climate action on finance. COPs are spaces he knows he could use to build Cdn influence, secure new trading partners & position the country for a clean future. Instead he burns all that potential and his reputation.

Come on authors! You can do it!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Canada must not back down on industrial carbon price
We can’t let fossil fuel interests and governments that side with them weaken or eliminate any more effective climate policies.

After MTS adopted free fares for minors, the average age of riders on my usual bus (serves two high schools and both weekend terminals are shopping malls) dropped substantially. They get freedom without driving (inherently dangerous at their age) or their families needing to afford the extra car.
Just preaching my message of "wanting to do less more often" we all have our reasons.
