I used to spend a lot of time demonstrating how business processes were more than just automated repetitive tasks and how low-code β‰  magic, but now I'm retired. I also spent decades in the USA (legally) but returned to Canada a few years ago (happily).

Alberta Separatism is a US-backed PSYOP for Oil | The Goose πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Fascists' accusations are actually confessions. When U.S. Treasury Sec Scott Bessent called Doug Ford's "Reagan Hated Tariffs" as a "psy-op" he ignored U.S. psy-ops going on in Canada. To say nothing of the Trump-tied U.S. hedge fund that owns the majority of Canadian newspapers.

Plenty, but not buying their merchandise or visiting their theme parks is going to be the real acid test.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

If 33 people sit down at a table with 2 Neo-Nazis without protest, there are now 35 Neo-Nazis at the table.

Charlie Kirk is just like Jesus...

The best way to honor Charlie Kirk is to release the Epstein files like he asked.

Tourist-starved U.S. cities: instead of gaslighting Canadians, try a campaign with the slogan β€œWe Hate Him, Too.”

Stephen Colbert wins his time slot, grows his audience. Yet CBS is ending the Late Show. Note CBS’ settling a lawsuit with Trump for 16m. Paramount, CBS’ parent, needs approval from Trump’s FCC to merge with Skydance, which is owned by the son of Larry Ellison β€” a big Trump supporter. Do the math.

I finally figured out why it upsets me so much when US governors and mayors try to appeal to Canadians to get us to come back and be tourists in their cities and states. /1

The Ultimate Bait and Switch of Trump’s Tariffs How to understand the phony trade deals with Britain and China

In a small Alaska town, Canada-U.S. tensions are upending a longstanding relationship | CBC Radio Skagway, Alaska, a town of about 1,100, has long roots with Yukon. But as tensions between the Canada and U.S. governments rise over tariff and sovreignty threats, some Skagway residents fear a breakd...

States suffering from reduced tourism: stop persuading Canadians to return. Persuade your president to stop annexation threats, tariffs, and the very real risk of being sent to an El Salvadoran gulag. Hollow gestures and appeals to "years of friendship" that ask us to ignore that are insulting.

With Canada's election finished, I'm hoping the RCMP can now arrest Danielle Smith on the charge of election interference (if not outright treason) for recruiting a foreign country to influence the election. @mark-carney.bsky.social -- what say you?

Beware Tory dirty tricks. If they have to lie to win, that should tell you they don't deserve to win.

Let's see... attack ads, robocalls, social media disinformation, rage farming, scapegoating, and now poling place interference. The Conservative Party of Canada has gone full American.

The Tariff Damage That Can’t Be Undone Nothing here has ended well. In fact, it hasn’t even ended.

Most of the damage caused by Trump's tariff plan will not be undone by its pause, RogΓ© Karma writes. β€œThe world has seen things it cannot unsee”:

"Pierre Poilievre has spent his entire career serving the very

Pierre Poilievre is an awful person, rude, crude, misogynistic, smug and boring. He is the absolute worst choice the conservative party could make. #CarneyForPM

When you factor in services, we're all running a trade deficit with the U.S. So tariff that.
