Missed Connection:

I was driving home at 2:30. You were pulling out of a parking lot in your cybertruck. I gave you the finger. You drove by without noticing.

DM me so we can reconnect and I can make sure you see. 🖕

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Here is the article I wrote on these contract negotiations last month.

Strike vote starts tomorrow for 16K nursing workers
These workers saw a real wage cut of nearly 25% in their last two contracts, and their last contract expired over a year and a half ago.

Alberta announced today the COVID-19 vaccine this fall will cost us $100 per dose.

So for my family of four, that'll be $400.

Alternatively, we could spend $400 on an overnight trip to Golden or Fernie, B.C., get immunized for free, and make a little mountain vacation out of it.
