I've repeatedly written to my MP asking why his govt is prioritising a loss-making small sector over a massive profitable one that gives us immense soft power, but he doesn't seem to have an answer.
'the UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that... contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." www.thetimes.com/culture/film...
All 2.4m of Britain’s creative workers are at risk — and we know why
A new report into the impact of AI on the creative sector makes for apocalyptic reading. The government must act now

Berlin’s streets are plowed. Its sidewalks are covered in ice—dangerous to everyone but especially elderly and disabled people. The city has no plans to salt or clear the sidewalks. The CDU is fighting culture war against the city it hate-governs from the car-owning suburbs. Elections in September.
Ich bin ja nur blöder Touri, aber wie kann das sein, dass in Berlin die Straßen komplett eisfrei sind, und man sich auf dem Gehweg alle 10 m auf die Fresse legt. Hasst Berlin Fußgänger oder ist das irgendwie anders zu verstehen?

For reasons, decided to check in on my Small Business Administration Woman Owned Small Business certification --- and guess what? DOGE wants women to get their spouses to sign off on their certification, despite them not having anything to do with the business!
So that's retrograde.

I have now created a template letter you can send to your MPP if you're in Ontario or to your MP anywhere in Canada; while this is primarily a provincial issue, it could also have major repercussions nationally & that must be considered

I don’t want to overdo the analogy, but when you look at Trump’s behaviour toward Canada through the lens of abuse dynamics, this kind of take (potter’s) looks extra gross.
“Why did you make him so mad? You should go back and apologize. He says that if you do he’ll start treating you right.”

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."
