If Trudeau resigns this week, here’s the likely sequence:
1) Prorogation.
2) He remains PM during 3-4 month race
Not much changes though unless we elect an outsider not from the current caucus & usual contenders. Anything less is cementing a Trump-like Poilievre victory

Wild story - thanks for sharing

I've been on Bluesky since well before most people knew it existed :) Good to see more making there way here this week

My kids did their first overnight week long camp last summer and could not wanted to have been there less on day 1. When I came to pick them up a week later I they talked non-stop for 3 hours and how great it was.

Google is not making Bard available in Canada. Seems like the sort of thing that will put Canada at a competitive disadvantage if companies are afraid to launch AI here - https://mobilesyrup.com/2023/05/11/heres-why-googles-bard-ai-chatbot-is-available-in-180-countries-but-not-canada/

Likely. And it seems to be trending hard in that direction

Think that algo needs some work yet @bsky.app

Congratulations Fanzo!

I see the Washington Post, Bloomberg and CNN (at least Jaketapper.blysky.social) are here. Any other media outlets yet? Curious how many others are setting up a presence on Bluesky given Elon’s hostility to the media

Welcome!

Amazing recommendations - thank you!

Solid suggestion thx! Not big on baseball but I am in history so will check this out if I can. Any reccos on the definitive places for Kansas City BBQ?

Freezies in Western Canada. And we know all things frozen so this should be the definitive

Evil trash panda. They are my nemesis in our backyard

Would love to hear from those who have been here for awhile what makes this a better alternative to Twitter? Seems like a more curated and interesting user group, but that’s because it’s only early adopters right now and you could achieve the same with Twitter lists. So why better in the long run?

It’s #FreeComicBookDay !! Stop by your local comic book store and have fun! I’m at Fantom Comics on P Street NW in DC

After 2 months of great travel for work & fun to Australia, Fiji, Whistler, San Diego and Toronto, this month I am off to… Kansas City. Any reccos on what to see and do? I am told the Americans call it the Paris of the Prairies although everyone know Saskatoon is the rightful holder of that title.
