Biz transformation by day, loving husband and dad by night. Here for FPL, cycling, weather, books, and maybe a little policy/politics. Views sometimes mine, sometimes others.

I like it here, it's nice. (We'll see how this ages 😉)

Your Daily Affirmation:

Today I am faux-Canadian: considerate, helpful, but willing to high stick a motherfudger if there's any shenanigans. Skate swiftly, but carry a big stick. Tim bits are my sacrament. #AlsoWafflesWrealMapleSyrup

It’s still a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history.

Please share it as much as you can.

Your Daily Affirmation:

Today I pity the cowards we must step over as we march into battle. I draw strength from my compatriots, whose hearts are stern and true. We are all afraid, but not afraid to fight. We are weary, but not too weary to stand for what is right. We will not surrender.

A brief thread about what's going on in Canada. All are welcome, but this one is especially for Americans.

There was some stunning polling this week. Survey of 1,550 Canadians: How do you perceive the USA?

Ally: 31%
Enemy: 30%
Neutral: 24%
Don't know/refuse: 14%

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

No one should be surprised that they are coming after the avocado toast!
Mexico supplies upwards of 90% of the avocados Americans eat, and President Donald Trump is likely to make them more expensive with his plan to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican imports beginning on Saturday
Trump’s Mexico Tariffs Poised to Raise Already High Avocado Prices
Americans’ love of guacamole is about to be put to the test.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
