I'm a retired meteorologist living in 🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦 on southern Vancouver Island, an avid amateur radio operator, owned by an Airedale Terrier named Daiquiri and guided through life by the wisdom of my wife Doris!
These two men could not be more different! After this tumultuous weekend it seems evident to me that the World needs more Ahmed al-Ahmeds!

The other man recently received the FIFA peace prize, cheats at golf, cannot take criticism, lives for personal financial gain and chose this weekend to spread hatred while eulogizing a beloved actor/director. /3

Although financially not wealthy his respect for others and his willingness to put his life at risk to protect strangers have earned him great wealth in the form of respect from others world-wide. /2

This weekend two men on opposite sides of the planet exposed their true self. One man, a Syrian immigrant to Australia, Ahmed al-Ahmed, disarmed a terrorist and saved the lives of many of his adopted countrymen. Mr. al-Ahmed is a fruit shop owner of modest means. /1

@BLUESKY, HAS THE FEED OPERATOR DIED? I seem to be inundated with CATS in my feed. I have nothing against cats but enough already. I keep reporting and getting msg that my feedback "has been set to feed operator." Please make it stop!

Is this happening in other locations other than Vancouver Island? Seems like a lack of trust by P-P!

The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump tariffs will add 60% to the cost of an iPhone. Not if you buy it in Windsor or Fort Erie! Make smuggling great again, my latest for @theatlantic.com

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
