The idea of CRA “lean[ing] into AI to free up staff resources” should be setting off some red flags. Other departments are being forced too.
He’s cutting “development funding for global health programs” and funding for public transit. Cutting back on Statistics Canada seems so short-sighted too.

Today is Persons Day in Canada. It's the day when women were finally included in the legal definition of “persons”. Before that, women weren't people in the eyes of the law or government. It's the basis for our equality. It's something that doesn't exist in the US by the way.

Fascinating example of the urban and rural split at the Union of BC Municipalities convention.
A resolution pushing B.C. to declare a right for renters to have pets (within guidelines) in their units was supported by Vancouver and others.
But was narrowly defeated by rural and landlord delegates.

In 1992 Elizabeth the II opined her annus horribilis which included a fire at Windsor Castle amongst other difficulties, and one wonders if she’d rather that it simply burnt to the ground instead of hosting a horrible anus so many years later.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.
‘tragos’ = goat
‘aeidein’ = to sing
So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”
Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.
