Turns out they were *hiding behind the curtains* like a couple of rangy toddlers inside the clearance rack at Kresgie's while their mom shops for off-season bargains — ready to leap into their seats in case the vote went election-ish.
Y'know, the way alpha bro dudely macho men hide behind curtains.

@bsky.app can you please have the professional acumen when running a business & a platform to not resort to childish trolling? The other platform and its gaslighting owner already has that in spades.

It's fun to watch places like Calgary and Edmonton grow, but Toronto continues to lead all growth in not just Canadian cities, but even the U.S.
This city is fast becoming one of the world's most important metro areas, especially in the face of geopolitical change.

Japan, Korea, and China are going to be integral to the EV market in this new geopolitically-shifting world. I hope Canada sees the same potential in letting these vehicles be sold to and built here as well.
Meet the Sakura, the best-selling electric car in Japan. It has driver assistance, auto-parking, fast charging, bi-directional power, and acres of charm. The killer stat: It only costs $17,000. www.wired.com/review/revie...

This is what an authoritarian surveillance state looks like.
All the more reason for anyone thinking of visiting the U.S. right now to stay away. It's a slippery slope between this and anything they don't like, including DEI, progressive values, and anything critical of the Trump administration.

Netflix increased their prices for Canadian subscribers. For the standard plan, with tax, that now eclipses $20 per month.
That's my personal threshold for any streaming service to begin auditing if it's worth it or not. I'm looking at you too, Crave and Disney Plus.

Mr. Rogers famously once said "look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."
If you're thinking about ditching #bigtech, the helpers can be:
- open-source;
- users over profits;
- advocate ethics;
- decentralized.
Building community starts with a shift in thinking.
