Very good profile of Mark Carney, by @stephenmaher.bsky.social. Jives with what the Ottawa bubble says about him and the shoes memo too macleans.ca/politics/mar...

Mark Carney Is a Very Demanding Boss - Macleans.ca

Can you say a bit more about the weekend rail replacement? What is that supposed to achieve? Anything to do with reducing speed restrictions?

Curious to know what rail replacement will do. Will it lead to fewer speed restrictions?

The proliferation of drone warfare coupled with autonomous control systems should be viewed with the same alarm in the scientific community as was afforded to the atomic bomb program. The risks are immense.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Oops. Missed that. Curious, though, that after decades of being part of the F-35 program and the $ benefits that come with it, govt implying that’s not enough. Any idea how much more they are looking for?
