The trade situation may have been de-escalated, but IMO, it has inflicted permanent damage on the Canada-US relationship. It has compromised any trust we may have had that our southern neighbour would deal with us in good faith. And it has significantly eroded goodwill toward the US among Canadians.

Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods
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.

Still from Sonic 2 depicting a sign that reads "Welcome to Green Hills / The Little Town when a Big Heart"
Slogan for the City of Saint John: "Small City, Big Heart / Petite ville, grand coeur"
Having a Sonic movie marathon with the family tonight, and I just noticed something interesting about the town's slogan...

It isn't easy. I think it's important to pay attention to what's happening in the world right now.
But I'm realizing that there are diminishing (eventually negative) returns to over-engagement with short form social media.
Safeguard your mental health, folks, and refresh that feed in moderation.

I did way too much doomscrolling here yesterday, to the point that partway through the day, I could feel my mood entering a tailspin in a way that I haven't felt in years.
That was my cue to step back for a while.

Voted in the Ward 3 byelection advance polls yesterday, and brought my 7-year-old along to introduce him to the process! Hoping he grows up to understand the importance of this civic duty.

Stacked townhouse buildings under construction in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Was over West this morning, and got a photo of construction moving along on this stacked townhouse development off Dever Road. 54 rental units across 4 buildings at full buildout. #SaintJohn

After 15 years and nearly 5k posts on That Other Platform, it's time to get set up somewhere else (i.e. here). Not sure how active I'll be - I'm primarily hoping to get connected with whatever local #SaintJohn chatter is happening on Bluesky, follow some topics of interest, that sort of thing.
