I posted this personal anecdote a while back, and Facebook reminded me of it yesterday…

That was like 25 years ago… the photo appeared in the Toronto Star the next day.

Yes, I have a Getty image of myself! 😉

Got myself another book deal…for a series of books. The first is a series of three books. From German to English.

According to CBC News and official government statements, applications for immigration to Canada may now take up to 600 months (!). All or most applications in the system are expected to be binned to clear the backlog.

Note to hopeful newcomers: make sure your life expectancy is at least 150 years.

What we are witnessing now is the modern-day version of the Emperor’s New Clothes. Tech bros keep telling us that AI is fully clothed and decked out in exquisite garb, but in truth, AI is stark naked.

Being “open to work” doesn’t mean desperate. It doesn’t mean I’ll play by broken rules or waste my time jumping through pointless hoops.

Financial Times needs to learn English; it’s not Buy Canada, but Buy Canadian. The first is what Donald Trump is trying to do Canada, and the second is what we in Canada do to protect ourselves. Remember: if you want to write for a living, you must first master your own language!

I’m sick and tired of the cheap and insulting offers I keep receiving through LinkedIn, so I’ve updated my tagline to filter the wheat from the chaff.
