Today's Book Review: John Candy A Life In Comedy by Paul Myers
One of my favourite books of the year, it dives deep into the story of a beloved Canadian and goes far beyond just telling the story of his films.

Big C3 Energy: Arctic Plant Collections as Evidence for the Climate Crisis.
Arctic plants use efficient C3 photosynthesis to survive cold, now serving as biased yet vital climate-change indicators.

And if we factor in the Gripens are about 1/2 price and much of that would go to Canadian workers and suppliers etc and combined with the huge operational savings it would be crazy not to buy the Gripens.

There is far more to this than jobs.
Saab is offering the intellectual property and full control of the Gripens we buy.
That alone should be enough to seal the deal.

The US isn’t “at risk of losing” its measles elimination status. Just at risk of admitting it.
Canada lost its status earlier this month, and people treated it like an international embarrassment. But let’s be clear:
Canada still has functioning disease-surveillance. The US does not.

For Trump's Christian nationalist supporters going on about "the war on Christianity", in 2023 Open Doors World Watch ranked Saudi Arabia as the 13th most difficult country to be a Christian, and conversion by a Muslim to Christianity is punishable by death.
So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
